If you are like most young women, your prom is one day that you look forward to from the time you are a little girl.  When you go to your prom, you want to look like a movie star, right?  Unfortunately, most of us do not have the same budget to work with as that of our favorite stars.  But that doesn’t mean that you have to look less than ultra glamorous for your big day. 
Here are some ways that you an save money and still look like a million for your prom:

Go to a hair academy to have your hair done

A hair salon will charge a fortune for an up-do.  But if you go to a learning academy, you can get the same thing for a lot less money.  The stylists who work at the academies are students who work under the supervision of licensed instructors.  You can pay a fraction of the amount of money for the same hairstyle as you would pay at a salon if you go to a hair academy to get your hair done for the big night.

Do your own make-up

Most young women are not happy with the way that a make-up artist will do their make-up.  They complain that it doesn’t look like “them.”  Do your own makeup for the prom so that you will still look like “you” and feel confident with yourself.  Not only that, but you will save a ton of money as a professional make-up artist will charge anywhere from $40 on up. 

Skimp on the shoes

You can go to a cheap shoe outlet for the shoes for your prom. You do not need to wear the most expensive shoes to the prom as your dress will be long and no one will really see them.  Besides, you will most likely kick them off when you are dancing anyway.  Get your shoes at a cheap shoe outlet and save money. 

Borrow jewelry

Wear borrowed jewelry to the prom instead of buying expensive new jewelry for this occasion.  Many movie stars do this for the Oscars and other events.  You can borrow jewelry from a friend or relative and it will not cost you anything to bejewel yourself for the big night.  While you are at it, you can borrow an evening bag as well.
