    I spent £25 on mine, cut & blow dry with straighteners. I have it done every 6-8weeks as my hair is graduated at the back so gets out of shape and my hair grows quickly!

    Though I always have it done on a day where I have a nite out/special occasion to save me having to make it look tidy myself!

    Mine costs around £80 cut and highlighted. Only have it done around every 3 months due to it takeing 3/4 hours to do and basically i'm just too lazy :o Also, the highlights blend into my natural colour so it doesn't look odd, or obviously i would have to force myself to go more often :rolleyes:

    We had our mobile hairdresser round on Saturday to cut my husband's, 19-year-old son's and mine with a blow-dry - in total, £22.

    Our daughter even travels up from London to have hers cut, coloured (foils) and blow-dried. This time it was a complete re-style from mid length to short and the cost - £33. I reckon that's a lot less than she'd pay in London. She travels up to visit quite regularly so we just book the hairdresser in advance, she's become a good family friend and we'd find it hard to replace her.

    I pay £15 & £2 tip for a wash & cut. I don't pay the extra £10 for a blowdry because I don't even like it blowdried anymore.

    I go home & GHD it.

    If I was going out from the hairdressers, I would get them to iron it, but I can do it just as well, so I save the £10.

    I pay £20 for a wash cut and blowdry, ghd and the lot. The girl is really good and spends nearly an hour doing it

    I think £20 is alot for a hair cut, but I do tip her a few quid or I bring a nice tin of biccies

  • I pay £5 on training days at my local salon for a C&BD the manager is Toni & Guy trained and always checks it over and sometimes does the odd snip here and there. Highlights (t-section) cost me £12 with a C&BD, but can't get it cut at same time as the girls are only qualified enough for the colour at that stage.

    No probs so far, this time a tiny bit shorter than I'd planned, but hey it will soon grow and it means I won't need to go back quite so soon.

    Cut, colour/s (foils) blow dry £60 and that is really cheap around here! I use root touch up inbetween. I used to colour mine at home all the time but it looks much better done professionally. I couldn't live without my straighteners either. In fact it really does cost a lot of time and money to look natural, what with the contact lenses and 'holiday skin' treatments!!

    I usually pay £105 for a full head of highlights, cut, blow dry and straightening. Sometimes they have a special offer where it only costs £75.

  • £30-ish a time for me, every month. Money well spent to sort out my hair.
