Opinion on hairdresser charges

Evening All

So I had my hair cut today and my husband bought me some vouchers for a posh place in town which I've never been to before. I checked online and booked my appointment with a senior stylist which gave a price of £47.00. After I had my hair cut (which I was really pleased with!) They told me it was £57.00 to pay. I queried the price and was told I was charged extra for a 'restyle'. Now I have long hair and asked for my layers that started to grow out to be chopped back in, the rest was a trim because I can't part with too much of my hair.

I did pay it and was happy with the overall results but thinking about it after it does seem a bit crafty! My normal hairdresser doesn't charge more for adding layers and last time cut me a fringe and I still payed the same.

I am tempted to perhaps send an email saying I think it is a little cheeky charging £10.00 extra for triming my layers, surely that is part of a hair cut?

Any ideas if this us normal practice at some hairdressers? Think I'll stick to my usual place from now on!

Will be interested to hear opinions!
Thanks

I pay £4, and she doesn't charge any extra for a cup of coffee.

A trim and a restyle are two different things. If you booked for a trim and were quoted £47 then i would say the extra for the restyle is fair. I'd pay it, it's a bit cheeky querying it after you've left the shop !

My hairdresser friend cuts mine for free but when i did used to go to a salon my most expensive cut was £20, £47-£57 sounds like a right rip off

£47 for a trim:eek:...I'd say you were robbed even before paying the extra £10 to cut the layers.

My opinion, find somewhere cheaper unless you have money to burn!

I pay £65 for a cut and colour, this is fairly standard at most salons i've found. City centre salons will be higher than this.

When did you last go to a salon ?

Sounds crafty to me! Just asked the wife who also has long hair and doesn't get charged more for her layers. Jeez what would they charge if you asked to get your long hair cropped short? That in my opinion is a restyle!

Hardly a restyle getting the layers trimmed too, unless a trim means just trimming the ends of the longest part of your hair only!

For £47 quid I'd expect my whole head of hair trimmed not just the longest bits.

Cheeky maybe, but I think the salon is taking the p$sh!!

Well that is what I thought, I already had the layers, they just needed triming along with the rest of my hair! I haven't been restyled, just tidied up!

I pay around £35-ish for a cut and blow dry and I've never been charged extra for cutting in the layers that were already there!


I wouldn't consider what you had done to be a restyle.

It was a treat from my husband and isn't my normal hairdresser. I normally pay £28.00 for a wash and cut.

The cut is without doubt better than I normally get though. I just think the pricing structure is a little vague.
