Because we were students, we were not allowed to get paid, but we were allowed to get tips. I did a perm on some lady's waist length hair. Being we were a school, salon prices were very cheap. It would have cost her $100 elsewhere for that perm but it only cost her $25 at my school. She was so happy with the job that I did, that she gave me $40! That was a good night for me.
It definitely makes sense in that situation. Round our way you could do the same thing if you wanted a cheap haircut... just go to one of the local colleges and be a guinea pig and just hope against hope you don't come out looking worse than when you went in
In the school's defense, it is required by law to post a sign stating that all work is performed by students, AND supervised by a licensed educator. For my school - We would do the initial consult with the client, then the teacher would come over, we would discuss our plans and then get approval or suggestions and then approval from the teacher. The teacher must remain on the floor at all times while clients are in chairs - regardless. And before we are done, the teacher must come over to inspect our work and then give approval. It was all monitored very closely and honestly - the 11 months I spent on the floor - I never had a single complaint.
