How much for a hair cut and colour?

So today I had my hair cut and coloured (Senior Stylist) - absolutely love it!! I opted for two-tone of an ash blonde and a deep red. Full head of foils.
I've a lot of hair so was in the hairdressers for almost four hours as also had it cut. Even got a massage chair when the toner was applied and basically I was living my best pampering life!! Loads of foils with two ladies putting them all in as I have lots of hair!! 😆 Also had it cut, blow-dried and curled.
Really pleased with it and also had lots of lovely extra bits such as a Wellaplex toner, and given a bag of full-size products (colour care shampoo and conditioner and styling cream).
However, my mum thinks I "paid a lot" for the package which came to £200 in total.
I personally think it's reasonable!
Thoughts please 😀

How does a mobile one do the washing out-do you just go in the shower while she waits downstairs? I sit quicker than a salon, or basically the same minus travel time?
I think I'll be getting greys soon, but the thought of all the time and money puts me off (but OP, don't feel guilty if you enjoy it, for me if I start I know I'll need to go every 6 weeks, so that's why I hesitate).

My bathroom is downstairs. Originally I used to lean over the bath whilst she rinsed it with the shower attachment, but for various reasons she now rinses it off in the kitchen sink, I kneel on a chair with my head under the mixer tap which we both find more comfortable. It may sound a bit basic but I was never really keen on salon basins either - always ended up with water running down the back of my neck.

I think it is quicker as you dont get that waiting time when the stylist passes you over to the junior for washing/ rinsing as she’s trying to do two customers at once.

I pay £120 for a scalp bleach, toner and a cut in a small-ish town in SW.
I'd say, for what you had done, it's pretty cheap. In my salon, it would be closer to £300.
