To ask how much you consider to be a reasonable price...

... For a 3 year old boy's haircut. It's not overly long, just needs tidying up. The last hairdresser I took him to charges £8...

I'm afraid that sounds about right to me-we pay £10 for a trim at the local Salon or £8 from a mobile hairdresser (if she happens to be doing neighbour/friends kids). It does seem a lot, but I suppose it wouldn't be worth the effort for the hairdresser to do it for much less

I'm dyspraxic, and I'd probably end up taking off his head.

Well that would save on future haircutting bills....

£8 seems reasonable. Anything less wouldn't really be worth the hairdresser's time.

Thank you, Bedlam. Just seemed pricey for the little they took off. Oh well.

We're £8 but I round it up to £10 as DS is such a wriggler.

i pay £7 for my 6 year old son.

ihave in the past used clippers and justgone all over but it made him look like a 3 year old thug soi stopped doing it and cough up the money now. as much as i resent paying that for a child,i want him to look tidy.

itsnearlysummer true...

I think that's expensive - DD has her haircut every 4 weeks for £4 :)

$6.50 (pound sign not working!) in a proper barbers shop. When I took him to my hairdresser they charge by age and it was $11 (for a 7 yr old).

I think the problem is I'm now living in Norfolk, yet my head is still in Birmingham. Everything seemed cheaper there...

My SIL always took my nephew to Tony and Guy's. I never dared ask how much she paid.

I noticed it was £20 somewhere I was passing the other day! Was quite . Was only a cheapo looking place as well.

Scholes, I dread to think...

LIAC £20? WTAF?

I pay £8 for DS (4) in the local barbers which I think is extortionate but I agree that a pair of clippers can make a lot of children look like mini extras from This Is England.

Buy a decent pair of clippers and some styling scissors and do it yourself! I still do my DS hair, they now almost 11yrs are starting to want it a bit more stylised, but at the same time I am becoming more skilled at doing this for them, I also do DH, but, must admit, this isnt hard and he has a lot less hair in the first place, . I have saved myself a fortune over the years.

My local Toni and guys does my 6 year old for free, I do have my hair done there thou

[Grin] Bubby, I can't even trust myself to straighten my own hair without bburning my ear/neck/house down... Darne't let myself near DS's head with a cutting device... Not unless he wants to do his best impression of Nearly Headless Nick....

well dh's barber charged £5 to ds's hair - he is not even 2 and it took 2 minutes! btw we needed it done properly due to the fact he wears hearing aids.

The barber said the usual price was £8 so that sounds right OP sorry!

Oh and we are in South London

its £10 here (in norwich) but with 4 boys we bought clippers and scissors and dp does it, BUT he uses the long attachments on the clippers so they dont have short 'thug' hair :)

I would have said £5 but prices for everything are getting higher quickly at the moment.

£5 at local barbers but it does take about 20 mins - he has a lot of hair. It is the same as an adult really - reasonable

£8 sounds fine to me. Hardly worth the hairdresser's time to do it for less.
