CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: I'm in the CNN makeup room. Yes, this is the CNN makeup room. Back to school on a budget is the segment we're talking about, and today we're doing, of course, hair cuts. Kids always have to have a hair cut before they go back to school.
Cat Carry (ph) is here giving Duwan (ph) a hair cut.

Cat, tell me, how do you decide, you know, when the kids come in and say I want this and that, it's always the latest trend. How do you decide what's best for each individual?

CAT CARRY: I think the first thing you want to find out is what their lifestyle is like, how much time are they actually spending before they get on the road to school. So, versatility is key and something that's going to be low maintenance for them. So then based on that, try to give them some ideas that are going to be current and fashionable.

CALLAWAY: Right.

Hey, Duwan, this is Duwan here -- it would help if we had a microphone for you there.

CARRY: Right. Hey.

CALLAWAY: They're using my microphone and it wasn't quite working. Duwan, I know that a lot of the kids out there want low maintenance because you're in a hurry, but is style more important to you, really?

DUWAN: Style is important and it is important to have low maintenance. But style is key.

CALLAWAY: Is key. See, I knew that.

CARRY: Especially for high school, college.

DUWAN: Yes.

CALLAWAY: Yes, right. And this is the cut you're giving her? What is this?

CARRY: Well, it's kind of inspired from Halle Berry, cut that kind of messy, flicky doo. That way she can wear it smooth or she can wear it a little dressier. So that's where we're headed today. CALLAWAY: All right, we're going to continue this. We've got a couple of kids here who are all getting quick haircuts and we're going to come back in a moment and tell you more about it.
