TABLE OF CONTENTS ON THE COVER: GRAPHIC/BRENA HAWLEY My mom has always cut my hair. Aside from one catastrophic "bangs at the hairline" incident, she has never failed me. Last year, I made my first visit to a salon to see what I had been missing out on, I felt nervous. How much was I supposed to tip her? What if I hated it? One hour and one luxurious wash-and-style later, I thought to myself, "why haven't I done this sooner?" Though I was thrilled with the results, I still usually make appointments with my mom instead of the salon to save money. Read about other student's primping habits and the dough they spend in "Keeping up appearances" on pg. 8. Then study up on Nicole Korman's studying tips on pg. 3, and congratulate yourself on looking good and being so damn organized. Welcome back, indeed. -Jaime Netzer, Editor BACK TO THE BOOKS A-B-C, easy as 1-2-3...
