Now the adventuresome can sport chic styles for a fraction of the price by standing in as hair models at the Vidal Sassoon Miami Education Center. This establishment has been called the Harvard of hair, and you can have an aspiring Oribe or José Eber shape your coif for as little as $15. You might have to wait a little longer here than at regular salons, because the styling will be done under the watchful eye of a professional. Best of all, when your student prodigy turns up on the pages of In Style magazine as the newest celeb go to hairdresser, you can boast you were among his first clients.
