To remember when you didn’t have to pay separately for toner?! 💁🏼‍♀️

It’s been a few years since I had highlights but I’m thinking of getting them put in again.

I was very surprised to see on the booking website that I needed to ‘add toner service below as this is an essential part of the colour’ - for £30!

What?! I never used to pay for toner, it was part and parcel of getting the colour. Apparently now it’s the norm to pay for it!

Do you also have to pay separately for the foil squares?! 😅

My bugbear is that if I have mine cut at the same time as the colour, the full ‘cut and finish’ amount is added to the bill - it’s getting washed and dried anyway as part of the colour so I feel like the cut should be reduced.

I can never understand a hairdresser price list. At my hairdressers it appears it would cost >£100 for colour, cut and blow dry but actually costs £69. I think the cut and blow must be included in the ‘highlights’ price. Toner must be included at the time of colour but extra if you go back for a between appointments. It does not say this anywhere on the list tho.

Yes, it just used to be half head highlights all in. And it looked better without the toner, I don't see the purpose of it. I'm going back to box dye, I can do a better job myself.
