AIBU that a haircut shouldn't cost £60!?

Why is the cost of my haircut increased every time I visit? I have my haircut every 12 weeks on average and the price increase a few pounds every time. It's gone from £35 around 5 years ago when I started to £60. My favourite hairdresser hasn't been promoted so it's not that. I know she gets paid minimum wage and it doesn't feel right but she's an amazing hairdresser. I went today and was charged £62!?

The cheapest person is £58 and most expensive £90! Not a crazy fancy salon. I'm on the outskirts of London fyi so no means central!

YABU - that's how much it cost
YANBU - it's become so expensive!

£35 for me and she comes to my house!

That seems a lot, I pay £50 for a cut and colour.

I’ve just cancelled mine and decided to grow it. £75 for long layers to be trimmed.

I’ve started cutting my own hair again like I did as a student.

It's £50 for me... London suburbs...that's with a fairly low level stylist...the more experienced ones are more. It's shocking

@SockFluffInTheBath totally get things have gone up but the fact my hairdresser gets less than 10 quid for the hour to cut my hair and I pay £62 feels wrong!

If mugs will pay it, hairdressers will charge it.

Do you just get the cut? Blow dry as well? How long is your hair?

Mine is similar and takes less than 10 mins as I have ‘easy’ hair. I suppose the price of electricity, rent, water, insurance, equipment, consumables etc has all gone up in recent years, and it all needs to be covered.
