I thought of this reading the last post in the "tipping" topic...
This has been on my mind.
Here in my small city in Ohio, I have been charged $125-150 for a tint (well, gray root touchup really), frost (foiled), and cut/blow-dry/style.
I thought this was OUTRAGEOUS...
So I've been going in Michigan in a much smaller town, and the cost there for the same services is $65-70 plus tip.
Good thing I'm going to Michigan anyway because if I had to factor in the cost of the gas it would cost more in Michigan! LOL....
So, what do you pay?

Never have I paid, nor would I pay that. I actually color my own hair at home, and do the root touch up for less than $10.00 Always have. I go to the local store, there is a salon there and get my hair cut for $10.95 That's what I can afford, and I really like my hairdresser. She does a great job, coaches me on the color, and I don't mind tipping her! This is just my opinion, and I live in a very rural area. But I do love my hair color - red of course!
Thanks Brenda!!!! Hope you are doing well. Did you get the soaps made? Haven't heard from you. Of course our computer was down for almost 4 weeks! Let me know!

I pay 10.00 for a wash and trim. She will dry and style too for no extra but since i usually go straight home I just airdry. Highlight and wash and trim is usually about 50 bucks. I would die before I would pay more than that! My hair is in a ponytail or a braid 99% of the time anyway!

I think the price depends on where you live. Cost of living and what the market will bear have something to do with it. Much of Michigan's economy is very depressed but I'll bet if you went to Ann Arbor or some of the resort areas in MI, you would find prices like you have in your city.
The amounts you talk about paying would be low to moderate on the West Coast unless you went to a cheapo place or Supercuts. I pay $45 for a cut (not including tip) and around $85 - $100 for a partial foil. My stylist is not one of the higher paid in that salon either. They use "organic" (non-ammonia) color which is probably more. I don't like paying that much but I won't go to a cheap place. They butcher my hair.
I also know that you can go to some of the schools and get discounts on services. |

I am so fortunate to have a friend that is a hairdresser and I pay $70 for color and trim which includes tip. Normally it would cost about $120 in my area -Yikes!! I can't do my own because I have dry, thick curly long hair and need a"pro" to color it and still have healthy hair.

I pay approx. $70 for cut and highlight. I hate paying the price but I don't trust myself to do a highlight. I guess those years of seeing orange hair on people trying to do it themselves when I was a kid still stick in my mind, LOL.

I pay(it's been a year) around $75.00 for a cut/foil highlight. I go to J.C. Penney's styling salon here and I pay extra for having long hair. The last time I got a haircut, they had gone up to $20.00 just for that.

Brenda,
I pay around $50-$70 (including tip) depending on if it's a perm or highlight in Mt. Vernon. I think you are paying way too much.

I don't color my hair...still mostly dark brown...but a cut here is $10 to $15. I last got my cut (about 4" to get rid of some ugly self induced layering) a couple years ago..I trim my own bangs and get my sis in law to trim the ends now and then to keep them straight.
My mom was a hairdresser in Calif before she retired..it sure is a lot more expensive there!
My sister pays well over $100 for her cut, color and highlight each time.

OUCH!
I have cut my own hair for over 16 years, but go to a salon for special occasions (my own wedding 6 years ago).
I recall paying around 17-20 plus tip. This salon was in Cincinnati |

When I did do all that stuff a couple of years ago, it was easily $75-80 bucks a pop, not to include the "product" I "needed" to buy when I was at the salon. I had Josephine Baker type bob, and man, was that a lot of upkeep!!! That was in northern Kentucky, and seems to be the average price for basic color/cut/style, unless you go to like, Supercuts or something like that...bad hair cut there once, and haven't been back :)
Now, it's growing passed my lower back (I plan on donating it), I'm lucky if I comb it!
Just think of all of the roads there are...all of the things I haven't seen....yet. |

I pay $35 for a wash, cut and dry which includes the tip (I totally believe in tipping hairdressers!) Now that I've finally got my hairdresser cutting my hair the way I like, I'm moving away....oh well, I'm sure I'll find another one.

I pay $15 for a cut and that includes the tip.
For years I traded hair cuts for my milk soap but working out of town now and I can't get to her. My husband and son still gets their hair cut on the barter system with my soap!

| I am so fortuneate to have a daughter, though not a hairdresser, who trims and frosts my hair. I pay for the package of stuff she gets at the supply store which is about $5. I, in turn, trim her hair, her sisters hair, and cut my husbands hair and sometimes give my boys a buzz. I am so thankful that I don't have to pay a lot to look "beautiful!" Susan |

I'm not sure how this broke down. One color, two cuts and two eyebrow waxings = $85.

I know how you feel, Jonni. I'm planning to donate mine, too. It's just now gotten so long it's very irritating - always falling in the way and getting stuck on jewelry, having to pull it out of my coat every time...I was planning to go through the winter, but my resolve is fading. I was told you have to at least have 10 inches to give up, and I really don't want to be left with short hair myself.

Well this is a little embarrassing, but where I go the cut is $60, the color (highlights and lowlights and color in between) is $98, and I of course have to buy 'product.' They have incredible products. Sometimes I get my brows done when I go, sometimes not; but my day getting my hair done and hauling home product (their brand of shampoo, conditioner, hair spray and styling gel) and tips will usually run me this or that of $300.
I know. Ouch. |

The cost here, for women, is $25-$35 for a haircut. Color is separate and is around $80 for all over color, or $150-$200 for foils. Depends on the length of your hair. A touch up is about $50. Eyebrows are $14.
Maybe I should move. ;)

That is about the price around here, no wonder we look so much younger then our Grand parents when they were our age. Not that my Grandma wasn't beautiful, she was, she just didn't wear denim and company outfits with white ked sneakers and black hair half way down her back. She wore house dresses, clunky shoes, aprons and had her gray done every few weeks by my cousin. dippity- doo. Remember that stuff? Ok I do wear an apron over my denim and company and sports savy, Now you know I do some of my shoping on QVC. I hate dressing rooms.

2 yrs ago I had highlights put in my hair..long hair down to my bottom..and it ran $150 to get the highlights put in..but since my hair is long..it took roughly about 2 hrs to get it all wrapped and then dyed....
I wound up letting it grow out..but got tired of it looking like half my hair had highlights at the bottom part and the top part was light brown....ha
So, since my mother in law used to own a salon..she sent me the solution to even out the brown tones...so I did that about 4 weeks ago.
Day before yesterday..I wanted it a lighter color yet..more like an auburn color..so I went and got a box of Revlon light auburn... and wallah..for about $5 I did it myself and am now a pretty auburn headed gal.
this is the first time I have ever dyed my own hair..other than having had the color wash to even out the tone, and the highlights put in professionally 2 yrs ago...but the first time I have ever totally changed my hair color...my kids like it and so does my husband..he keeps telling me he thinks my hair is pretty and that it looks good.
So...I'm pleased too that I can still look good at a mere $5 versus $150..woohoo frugality..gotta love it! haha.

Around $80.00 for a cut, two color process (all over to cover gray and then highlights) and blow dry.

| I pay $100 (plus $20 for tip) for highlight, cut and style in California. That is on the low average side for this area. I used to color it myself, but I never liked the look of it. I love the way my hairdresser colors my hair, so I will stay with him for a while. I go in about every 3 months or so. |

I pay $30 for a haircut, including tip. It seems like a lot to me but I had to stop going to the $10 places like Supercuts. They usually didn't butcher it, but I never got the same person twice and hence never got quite the same cut. It was just too stressful having to try to explain it every time and hope they understood me. At my current place, I can make appointments and get the same person every time.
I'm growing my hair out again now, so that should cut the bill in half (just getting a trim every 6-8 weeks instead of every 3-4). I'll definitely check out the home haircut info above, thanks. |

The other thing to keep in mind is it may be $35.00 for a consultation, cut and blow dry at more "expensive" places but if you add it up at SuperCuts or others it comes out the same or more and the stylist I go to now is much better!
