He cuts out time for hair

Junior Logan Hails truly made the cut by starting his own hair salon out of his basement to get real-life experience in hairstyling.
Hails started cutting hair in ninth grade, after seeing his sister, Sydney, curl her hair. He wanted to see if he could do it better.
“The funny thing was that I was actually way worse at curling hair than she was,” he said.
So for sophomore year, Hails started the Steel Center cosmetology program. After his first year, Hails decided to continue practicing his hairstyling skills outside of school.
“I wanted to gain experience of entrepreneurship as well as create a source of money for myself,” he said.
Hails mainly operates through appointments, and he has about 10 customers a month. A basic haircut costs $10, but more complex hairstyles, like highlights or a hair dye, are more expensive, ranging from $70 to $90.
