I'm booked in for a haircut next month which, with a tip, is going to cost me £35...much more than I used to pay when I was working!
I made the mistake, when I finally got a good hair cut in April, of getting a style that is higher maintenance than my usual shortish crop; my fringe was left a lot longer and styled across my face and because my hair grows quickly, I'm forever putting it behind my ears; it looked really nice in the beginning, but now it looks messy.
So, I'm either going to go back to the salon this time, pay the £35, get my hair cropped short again and not make another appointment there; or I'm going to cancel the appointment and look for a cheaper place to get my hair cropped.
Do you think £35 is a reasonable amount, or do you get your hair cut for a lot less than this? I'd love to hear your what you do :-)

I presume this included a blow-dry too! It does sound a little expensive but I suppose it varies depending on where you live and how 'classy' the salon is. The last time I had my hair done it cost about £45 including a cut, colour, blow-dry and tip. I occasionally do the colour myself but I'm so rubbish at it, it ends up needing to be done again alot sooner!
ReplyDeleteI am a shocker I only ever have my hair cut around once a year and in between I let it grow until I get sick of it and then it,s back to the Hairdressers, at the moment I am growing it longer as I want to have an upstyle for my Daughters wedding. I don,t think $35.00 is too much to spend if you are happy with the stylist, because finding one that you feel comfortable with is half the battle.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the going rate is over in the UK. It varies widely here in the states.
ReplyDeleteI pay $55 for a cut/style while my family in the Midwest pay at least $20 less.
Haircut prices do seem to vary; perhaps I should use clippers like my husband! lol
ReplyDeleteI used to get mine free from a friend at hairdressing school. I think I could still go back there and get freebies or cheapies from other students, but I don't quite feel right about it. I've found an awessome place that charges $25 and they're all Asian, score! (I figure they'll understand my hair).
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise tipping was done in Europe too?
This is a sticky one for me...I need a haircut desperately! I do cut my husband's hair though, so that saves a little.
ReplyDeleteI pay about $50 for wash/cut/style, plus tip. At most salons here in Dallas you'll pay $45-$75 for this service.
