How Much Do You Pay For A Haircut?

Smickan

A bit of a strange topic I know but it's got me curious.

I've just come back from having mine done at a local shop and it cost £6.80 for just a cut (If I colour it I do it myself at home). I've been using them for a few years and I've always been very happy with how they did it and didn't want to spend more.

Then I got talking to a friend in Leeds who spends £100+ each time she has hers done, obviously there's a large difference because I live in a town and she lives in a city but it still strikes me as an extravagant amount of money especially when it needs doing so regularly.

I'm a bloke and my local barbers charges me £12.50 (outer london)

I can get it done at another place for £7, but i don't think they're as good.

I used to spend £10 having it done by a girl that came to the house. I washed it, and then she would cut it and blow dry it.

Then i used to spend £130 a time having it cut and highlighted (3 colours with foils) and blow dried/straightened :eek:

Now I spend £55 every 6-8 weeks with a salon hairdresser - I adore the way she cuts my hair. If she isn't available and I'm desperate, then I use another hairdresser at the salon that charges £39. Both are wash, head massage, cut and blow dry. If I'm off out I'll get them to run the straighteners over too.

I dye it myself at the moment, so that costs about a fiver every couple of months.

I do my OH's hair, so that saves a bit of money!!

Had mine done today in a suburban, but pretty trendy salon (ie not one of those "Hair by Doreen" places with lilac nets!). It was £20 for a cut & blow dry and straighteners to finish and my hair's mid-length.

I pay £30 for wash/cut and blow wave. Will only go to one hairdresser and he has been cutting my hair for the last 24 years. He has the same texture hair as me so knows how to cut it. Way back in the eighties we both used to have the same hair cut. LOL
I do know many women who pay £100 for a cut and blow.
My DD2 has just had hers cut and has had highlights put in it. The end price was £150.:eek:

I pay £12.50 for a wash cut and blowdry from a reasonably trendy salon in London. It's a no appointments necessary place (infact they don't make appointments at all, even if you ask), just turn up and wait for the next available stylist or wait a few minutes longer for your favourite stylist if you choose. The £12.50 is a fixed price, doesn't matter if it's a trim or a restyle, a senior stylist or junior.

I pay naff all to have my mid-length hair cut, my friend does it for me even though she isn't professionally trained I am not precious about my hair so if she cocks it up I will just shave it off!

I spend all of £6,00 every six to 8 weeks at our local college for a shampoo, cut and blow dry.
