:wave: :j The lady who comes round and does my MIL's hair just sorted mine out as well - and later I'm going to colour it myself with a £3.99 dye from Savers. :eek:
A Cut and Colour would normally cost me £114 plus tip at my "middle of the road" salon - but there's a credit crunch on so Ithought I'd better try harder to find a cheaper salon.
I recently tramped all round 3 towns asking how much they charged for a cut and finish, a dozen highlights through the top and a semi permanent colour. The cheapest I could find was £82 with a gormless looking junior in a place with plastic garden chairs, :rolleyes: and the most expensive was £180 at the Salon my friend N recommended. :eek: Blimey - and she goes at least once a month!
So - how much do you pay round your way?

I was sulking coz my favourite place has just gone up to £6, I usually just have a fringe trim which has gone up to £1.50.
Considering doing a colour myslef but tbh cannot be bothered!0 -
As my hair gets shorter and shorter i was finding the trips getting too frequent... plus my local market town hairdresser has gone from £18 to £23 in less than 2 years.... still much cheaper than city hairdresser which would be minimum £35, not to mention more petrol...
Never have colour in mine, altho as they greys are coming, watch this space!!!
I sent off for a herbal essences free cut voucher, which i used for Erin's back to school haircut... they nominate where you have to go within your selected area.... so we went along and she got a great cut and blowdry for Free!!! yippeeee!
It was so good i booked myself in for a full price cut n blow dry, and paid £15, so i was well happy. Fab cut, nice salon, modern decor, nice smellies, cup of tea etc etc! So i know where i'm going next time!
£7 is hard to beat though Jacks, if it wasn't a family member rate, you've got to wonder why she undervalues herself like that... surely anyone wouldn't grudge her more, if she's good..... are you happy with it??I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
I go to the local KM training salon and pay between £7 - £10 depending on whether I get it straightened and if I give a tip

Colour it myself and a cut and dry is about £10.
Had my 3 sons hair done on Monday (not small boys) and it came to £12 total!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Am ashamed to say mine's is about £130 for a cut and colour but I only get it done properly once every 8 or 9 months. For my birthday my mum offered to pay £100 for it as she knew I was miserable about not being able to afford it and I just told me hairdresser I only had £100 so he gave me the colour for free as a birthday present.
I know its a huge extravagance but it took me years and years to find someone I trusted so I make savings in other areas (clothes etc) to compensate for it!0
