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

£26 wash, wet cut and rough dry

€140 for colour, cut and blow dry. Yes it's expensive but she does a fantastic job. I'm keeping my hair longer and more natural than in previous years so I only go about every three months.
A cheap hairdresser in my city butchered me for 30 quid. It took a year to grow back, so I've been a bit burned!

£110 for a specialist curly cut

Probably should say I'm in the NW and the owner is the only hairdresser so he does everything. Only one person in the salon at any time

£0 my OHs sister is a hairdresser. She trims it for me. We get her and her kids a takeaway. Win win.

£15 for a dry cut at the small village unisex hairdresser. (DH goes there too!)

She is brilliant! Best cuts I have ever had.
Previous hairdresser, again in the village, charged £25 and wasn't as good.

Would’ve been £50 where I lived before. Now it’s €25 for just a cut, €30 if I want a proper blow dry finish. Small town, if I drive half an hour into the big city (continental Europe) it becomes €50+. So double the price just by going into a more populated place - it’s one of the very few services that aren’t cost-regulated here, most things are the same price in or outside the city.

£50 for cut and blow dry with a senior stylist in West Midlands.
I do have a 'style' that's easy to maintain, but needs reshaping every 6-ish weeks. I also have cows lick at the front of my head, which make getting my fringe right difficult. I'm at least 1.5 hours in the chair and about 30mins of that is my stylist working on my fringe making sure it's right. Worth every penny.

The number of hairdressers I've seen over the years that have screwed up my fringe is phenomenal. IMHO hairdressers are 10 a penny. But a good hairdresser is worth their weight in gold.

£15 for a dry cut. £25 for wash, cut and blow dry. E Mids

DimplesToadfoot · 10/08/2024 16:37

I go with my GD, GD in one chair me in another next to her and we both have our hair cut at the same time. It's the only way GD will let her hair be cut, it's just a dry cut, with a water spray and I love how our hair turns out, we're charged £16 for the 2 of us, I hand over £30. If the ladies ever moved into a pricey salon I'd follow them, they are worth every penny.

£280 for a cut, balayage and blow dry in Kent. I thought this was an absolute bargain. 20 years at a Mayfair salon obviously skewed my world view 😂

Umbrellamaybeneeded · 10/08/2024 16:36

Dry cut at home £7 (she charges her new 😊 £10 but old ones not been increased).

HighHeelsOnCobblestones · 10/08/2024 16:36

£0. Can’t stand going to the hairdresser so I do it myself.

Tisfortired · 10/08/2024 16:35

I have balayage and go twice a year for maintenance which is £130 (end of October and around April.) Sometimes a trim in between if I need it sometimes which is £30.

Papyrophile · 10/08/2024 16:34

£55 in a small Devon town, but the stylist is brilliant at curls, and it's her salon.

Starlightstargazer · 10/08/2024 16:32

£150 cut, highlights, root tint in between foils and blow dry.
South East

TomatoSandwiches · 10/08/2024 16:32

Living up North keeps looking more attractive on threads like these!

Itsallsostressful · 10/08/2024 16:31

£30 for normal cut and blow dry and £65 if I treat myself to curly cut specialist. I'm in Glasgow 😊

LindorDoubleChoc · 10/08/2024 16:31

£50 local high street salon, London zone 2.

Mrsjayy · 10/08/2024 16:31

£50 plus hair washers tip. Central Scotland so nowhere fancy!

LimeFish · 10/08/2024 16:29

£15 for wash, cut and dry (and after 5 stanps I get a free cut), plus £35 for getting roots coloured. Mobile hairdresser London. Used to only be £35 total a few years back!

BashfulClam · 10/08/2024 16:29

£28 for a cut and blow dry in a local salon, £45 with colour.

£170 for a trim. London.

You must be a high earner to justify paying that sort of money ……I mean a trim?😱…. Bet it doesn’t look any better than some of these PPs who have paid 30 quid …..not that I’m saying it doesn’t look nice 😊…. Mind you even if I earned more than the 50k I earn….I still would pay your sort of money …..but then I am originally from Yorkshire 😂

RenoDakota · 10/08/2024 16:28

£36 for wash, cut and blow dry. West Yorkshire.

HoppityBun · 10/08/2024 16:27

BeeCucumber · 10/08/2024 15:44

£25 - dry cut.

Same here but mine’s short and done about every 4 weeks so it takes around 15 mins.
