Cutting is ALWAYS serious regardless of the circumstances...however, the fact she has the beginning of a pattern that when she can't control the guy/argument/etc., that she cuts and then calls her friend...in psychological terms, that is manipulation!! She cuts to contain her own feelings and then when reality sets in, she contacts her friend...
DG...It's wonderful that you're worried about your friend and she's lucky to have you...she needs professional help and quick! I don't know how close you are to her, but her parents may need to get involved to get her help. She may get mad at you for doing this, but she is in the beginning of a bad personality cycle that needs intervention NOW...if not, the cutting "could" get worse...there's no guarantee, but cutters are 3 times more likely to attempt suicide.
For her safety and your sanity, get someone involved who can handle the situation!!
Good luck!
