What do you get done at the hairdresser and how much do you pay?

£18 for a trim here. It's so expensive that I only go rarely and am actually considering growing my hair long again so that I can cut it myself at home. Too much for a simple trim, no hair wash, no blow dry or products. I don't even get a cup of tea there. My friend pays £23 at the same place for a restyle and a full head of colour with highlights as she gets mates rates. That really grinds!
I keep thinking about going to a barber and just sitting and queuing like everyone else and pay £7 like DH does. No less frilly than my hair dresser after all.

£43 for a cut and blow dry in central London. I know that's a lot and in theory I could run amok with the Groupon vouchers and go to a different place every time, but my hairdresser was recommended by a friend when I first moved to London which is something I value above cheapness, and I get it cut less frequently to compensate for this a bit. Plus I'd much rather stick with someone who knows my hair and how I like it (I am really fussy about my hair and what constitutes 'straight' to me doesn't always square with what hairdressers think it is!).

I always get cut and blow-dry and around here in hampshire it's always around £35.
I hate getting my hair cut, it's really thick so it takes them forever, and I think a lot of these stylists don't seem to know what to do with really thick wavy hair because some of them are not very good at cutting flattering layers.
I've found one lady in a really quiet salon that no one seems to know, but she's given me my favourite haircuts ever! She actually listens to what I want. She's also a bit cheaper than the others, weirdly.

My friend pays £28 for a cut & blow dry. I took her to the place where me and DD go and we all got a C & B Dry for £10 each.

It is one of those salons where you go in and don't need an appointment but if you want a particular hairdresser then you pay extra - that's £15. We've been going there for ages and have had loads of different stylists and they've all been great.

Anyway, my friend said it was a better haircut and she saved £18!! We all cam home happy bunnies.:j

In my old job one of my evening colleagues was a hairdresser who needed a deposit for a flat. Bingo, I now get a wet cut/ blow dry plus two dry cuts (two children) for £15. I tip a fiver to round it up

(When I had to pay proper money it was £25 just for a dry cut :eek: )
When I were an A-level stoodent I modelled at the college hairdressing department- we even went to a couple of competitions!- and got free hairdressing for the whole two years. Admittedly I wouldn't have chosen to have a [STRIKE]wonky[/STRIKE] asymetric do...
