Cutting the Prices

As most of you know, CSULB has a hair salon on campus called Elektric Hair Inc. that not only offers hair cuts and color, but also waxing and nail jobs including manicures, pedicures, and acrylics now at a "special" price.

The shop opened about 5 years ago according to Jenavie Ban, a sophmore and employee at Elektric.

Ban's mother is the manager of the hair salon but not the founder of the business.

Still, just sitting outside of the Student Union where the shop is located, one can't miss the "Special" sign that displays a discounted price for hair cuts and highlights.

Why a special? Well, money is tight for everyone these days and Elektric just like the eateries on campus, hopes to attract its customers with a discounted price.

"Most customers are students, but we get professors in as well, and more faculties are beginning to come in for hair and nails," Ban said. "My mom also has outside clients coming in too."

These deals on campus are becoming more prevalent but justifiable all at the same time.
