Cheap hairdressers / hairdressing schools / student nights, any suggestions?

I went to Robert Chambers school of hairdressing.
They are very professional and almost half the price of a regular hairdressers for a full head of meche highlights, blowdry and cut.
Unfortunately they ran out of time so couldn't do the cut, and some of my colour was too dark so I had to come in again and get it fixed.

When I was a student I went to both Peter Marks in St Stephens Green and Toni and Guy Clarendon St (downstairs). Hated Peter Marks, apparently they forgot to tell me when I was booking that I had to allow them to take a couple of inches off my hair, I only wanted a trim, they were so rude to me, never went back to them after.
Went to Toni and Guy (this time I wanted a radical makeover on my hairstyle), luckily a girl was doing her final exams so cut and coloured it for free, she chopped about 5 inches off it and dyed my blonde hair dark and put a heavy fringe in it. You can get pretty much get what you want done though from what I remember, was about 5 years ago when I had that done so things may have changed but would go to them again if I was a student.

Downstairs in Toni and Guy Clarendon Street is a spa now (used to work in it) but they have their academy on South William Street and I think they do classes a few nights a week in the Clarendon Street one.
