  • I didn't have a proper salon cut til I was about 15....! Used to go to local salons and pay no more than about £20 at most for cut/colour etc

    When I started my job, I started going to Toni & Guy and that could be anywhere from £19 to about £40. They then put their prices up and I think the cheapest is about £32 now for cut. They are the only salon though that do my hair how I like it.... Would pay upto about £75 for cut/colour there.

    I was booked in on my birthday this year but ended up at the local salon and had a dry cut for about £12. I didn't like it that much though and soon I am going to treat myself to a proper one at T&G.

    If I need my fringe doing I pay £3 for it, T&G do it free, but I use the one in Doncaster, and live in Leeds so its not convienient to go to Donny everytime I need my fringe cut!

    Most expensive I have paid is £49 just for a cut at Essenuals in London, was a fab cut though!
  • £18.50 every 6 mths

  • *click* bzzzzzzzzzzzzz *click* £0 to me. Well, the initial cost of clippers a couple of years ago ;)

    (Although my friends call me 'Mike' as in Microphone, apparently my head looks like one :/ !)
  • I used to pay £20 for colour and £6 for the cut, and always gave £30 to our mobile one, but she became so unreliable, went off to have a baby and never came back. Sadly back to the salon now (though I've been dyeing it myself for a while), but it looks a mess, so going to have to get it re-done professionally. God knows how much that'll be, as a cut is usually £31-£35! Booooo!

  • I pay £6...

    There's three barbers in and around Soho, London that do it for that price! Male and female! Not a bad cut, the women seem to come out better but then... they usually do!

    I don't pay for haircuts, my hairdresser chemically straightened my hair in 1998, which ended up a good few bald bits, and as a result gave free haircuts for as long as she is in business, very MSE eh!
