Local Student Learns the Price of Going Blonde

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UW Stout chapter.

Local Retail Marketing student Anya Karter is learning the hard way about the expense of blonde locks. A natural auburn, Anya decided to come to school with a new platinum blonde look.

“I spent almost $200 getting this hair, and now I’ve gotta spend like $50 a month upkeeping it? The coloringĀ and fill-ins I can understand, but why on earth is purple shampoo so expensive? And why does my hair look so brassy without it? Should I just cut it all off and start wearing a wig?”

At press time it was reported that Anya found solace in her expensive new hair by finding a nearby salon offering reasonable bi-monthly fill-ins and discounted purple shampoo in bulk.Ā
