The other day, I was talking to a fellow blonde about the perils of maintaining the look. And by perils, I mean serious coin. That’s when she introduced me to the wonder that is Lifebooker.com. Available for the lucky ones who live in NYC or LA, Lifebooker.com is an incredible resource for discounted services from hair cuts and color to massages, teeth whitening and laser hair removal.
The way it works is simple: Register to be a member of the site (which is free) then start browsing for the services you’re interested in. A list of salons providing those services (and their amazing discounts) will pop up. We’re talking 50 to 70 percent off. You book your appointments online and start to receive Reward Dollars for each reservation, which can be used toward future services. Each vendor participating on the site has a feedback section and rating, so you can see what other lifebookers say about their experience before you decide to book.
I’m trying my hand at my first Lifebooker appointment this weekend and will dutifully report back. I’m treating myself to highlights (at 50 percent off) at Blondi’s Salon on the Upper West Side. I may just decide to do a day-o-beauty after seeing one-hour Swedish massages for $50 and a deep-cleansing peel for $38.
