I just paid 60 and just curious what others pay. Not a restyle just a cut and blow dry.

I paid £48 for a C&B in the North-West this week, nothing special, just a trim really. I think it’s an expensive 45 mins.

£45 for a cut and blow dry, local salon, outer SW London.

No ‘products’ for me either.

MonkeyPuddle · 10/08/2024 17:30

£37 for full head of foils, cut and blow dry.

FarmGirl78 · 10/08/2024 17:27

Not so long ago I was paying £10 for a girl from work to do it after work as a sideline AND I'd get my tea cooked for me in that 🤣🤣🤣

JaceLancs · 10/08/2024 17:26

£42 for a cut and roots dyeing - I don’t bother with a blow dry as it’s curly and looks better if left to dry naturally

Molly499 · 10/08/2024 17:26

Location makes such a big difference so don’t know how you can compare. £75 for cut and blow dry South East. I think, like lots of things, also depending on your hairstyle, you really do get what you pay for for and that the cut is everything. My hair has to be styled and more or less does itself on non wash days.

This makes me feel a whole lot better about me thinking I was being ripped off paying £35 when they recently put the cost up from £28.

£130 cut, London. Worth it.

Dr13Hadley · 10/08/2024 17:14

£47 wash, cut and finish.

tinytemper66 · 10/08/2024 17:08

£25 cut and blow dry

nonmerci99 · 10/08/2024 17:08

£20 for a dry cut (Scotland).

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 10/08/2024 17:07

I can't afford haircuts. It's always a DIY trim for me.

Excited101 · 10/08/2024 17:07

I paid £365 a few weeks ago, balayage and cut, 2 toners and opalex… the cut and colour was 20% off… I nearly cried when they told me what it was!!
Usually I pay about £160, I’m not sure what happened this time. I won’t go back to this place again- only ever go a maximum of once a year anyway but it was offensively expensive and I don’t think I appreciate it enough for the cost. I was in there nearly 5 hours at least!

purser25 · 10/08/2024 17:05

£55 for me and Mother cut and blow dry for her. She comes home so I wash my hair whilst hers is being dried. I have a rough dry. £5 tip she is very good

MrsClatterbuck · 10/08/2024 17:03

I was charged £20 last month cut and blow dry. Hair hadn't been cut in a while so I suppose it was a restyle. Gave a £5 tip as I felt they should have charged more. Been at least 2 years since I used them and they were charging £20 then.

Was with someone else in between but wasn't totally satisfied with the cut. It was OK but they didn't cut short enough at the back. So went back to my usual hairdresser as she had stopped for a while but now operates from her home.

Coconuthotchocolate · 10/08/2024 17:02

£45 city centre, southwest.

Oblomov24 · 10/08/2024 17:01

£30 Surrey. High street hair salon.

Thebaguette · 10/08/2024 17:00

£115 for dry cut..only because my hair is problematic curly and this salon was heavily marketed for curly hair. Not sure it was worth it. They also made me buy £££ worth of styling products, though i bought it elsewhere. Since then I have got my hair keratin treatment at a cheaper place and it looks better with Keratin than with expensive hair cut

Was it by the hair bros?

Our equivalent of 50 pounds every 6 weeks for a cut/trim and blow dry.

Tralalaka · 10/08/2024 16:54

£64 roots every 5 weeks and blow dry
highlights and roots and toner & blow dry every 4 months about £180
cut & blowdry every 5/6 months £100

this is a well known salon in London. I’m happy for the roots to be done by anyone so usually go for some of the junior colourists but I’m really particular who does the highlights so have someone more senior

The cut is done by the director and genuinely is worth every penny. It’s not what the cut looks like when I leave the salon, any hairdresser can do a nice haircut, it’s how the hair cut lasts and I’m happy to pay for it

dementedpixie · 10/08/2024 16:53

About £60 for full head highlights plus cut and dry

Wonderwall23 · 10/08/2024 16:52

£60 would be about right near me (SE but not London).

I have a mobile hairdresser come to me for half that, which I much prefer.

AboutTwelve · 10/08/2024 16:51

£62 (director) - small town in south west (range at salon is £42-£65)

I hadn't realised it had gone up from £54 until I just checked (or that I paid £65 last time for pretty poor cut from senior director when my usual (director) stylist wasn't available...

I have for regrowth done every 4 weeks (£52) and then have a cut and blow dry as well every 8-12 weeks.

Superworm24 · 10/08/2024 16:49

Last time I had mine cut the girl charged me £35 and it looked terrible. So I've been cutting and colouring my own hair for years now. I think it looks okay.
