Oh lawd


Ha!

That's about normal for a haircut color job.

I have paid $375 plus tip for haircut, color, highlights, blow dry in NYC.

Oh man.... I pay $30 to get my hair cut

Sweet Jebus. I paid about $50 more for my laptop.

You should not have flipped out, gift cards are designed to get people in the store then make them put more to the balance of the card (spend More) I know I work in a store and my job is to push them. I hope she looked good because that hair is gona grow back out in 6 weeks.

I'll probably get a haircut, colouring and curls this week and it will cost me about 150 Euro .

$125 is not outrageous for a cut AND color if it's an established salon. However, your wife shouldn't be charged for the second visit. Nor should she tip the second visit.

I pay about that for a cut and color...but it definitely lasts longer than a day.

Thank God my hair's dreadlocked and I do it myself! I dyed it yesterday. Cost me $33 or somewhere therabout to get the products.

Yeah, that's not uncommon.

For some people, it would be retarded to pay that. But I have very difficult hair, both to cut and color, and I've had so many bad experiences that I'll pay $$$ for somebody who is awesome to take care of it. I just go much less often than I would like.

Though, my amaaaaazingly talented hairdresser knows I'm poor and never charges me more than $40, cuz I'm always sending him business. So that's cool.

It's not unusual and reasonable depending on the venue.

If she went to Regis or some other large chain, it would be unusually high.
If she went to Toni & Guy it's about right or even slightly inexpensive depending on which stylist you get (pricing varies on the individual stylist's skill level).

Some cut/style/color can be in excess of 200+, and on the extreme end closer to 500 or 600 (I'm talking Chicago and New York places for this ).


but you can get a really good cut/style/color at Regis or Mia-Max for less than $100 if you get the right stylist--if' she's into Mall venues.

Because I need to concentrate on other things, I'm going to see if I can avoid going to salons all year. We'll see how much money I save and if I can actually do it. Dare I say, I'm excited

I get this done too girl!!!! And do you believe that some women don't believe in waxing their upper lip? They are crazy, thats something I just can't do without. I consider it a necessity.

That's cheap for hair cut and color. It cost like 500 dollars for the Right Color and Cut. Now, for a cut it should only cost about 65-75 plus tip and don't forget Products or Brushes. But when I got Highlights years ago cost me 150 for a whole head and that was 8 years ago. Redo-s they sometimes charge you,but some places won't.

shit, I WISH that's what Erin's cut and color costed!

I don't think you should flip out about it, even if it came as a surprise and it's something that bothers you. Just talk it over. Make sure next time it's an agreed expense.

well, i don't enjoy that kind of thing much. personally, i don't like strangers touching my head and face bits, as that makes me nervous, so i'm not really into the salon experience. plus, they usually smell kind of chemically charged, or something?

my sister in law described her spa experience in actual India, where the fee was around $300.00 but carried out in the ancient tradition with heated oil, massage, and other such homeopathic stuff. she said she was actually having an out of body experience, she was so relaxed.

now THAT i would go for...

stop that! i cannot help being a wacky old hippie tree hugging weirdo!

it's genetic. not my fault, genetic

XxAxX said:

Don't tell anyone but Val has me recycling and shit now.....so far no tree hugging but i am young yet

mdiver said:

go Val! and by the way, from me to you - remember not to wear wool for your first tree hugging experience. use a cotton, or synthetic blend because it won't snag on the bark so much

mdiver said:

next time, use this one

XxAxX said:

Will do, although Mach has been telling me that first time one has to be nekkid...is that not so?

ArielB said:

mdiver said:

i dunno? Mach wouldn't lead you astray though. my only thought on that would be you should be careful and check the tree for insects, squirrels and rodents first if you plan to go naked

XxAxX said:

Yeah, i don't want a squirrel trying to bury my nuts
