This is a lot to pay at hairdressers?

[laplandad]

I went to get my roots done ..just dark brown as my normal hair colour just to cover my greys.
She trimmed about 1/2 inch off too.
Got to the till £60!!
I think this is crazy...
Is this expensive?

I guess it depends where you are. I used to pay £50 in SW for wash cut and blow dry, which now in London would be closer to £75 for a comparable salon

Quite reasonable I think

I pay £65 for a cut and blow dry.

I pay £35 for regrowth and £55 for full head!

I pay £55 for a cut and blow dry!

I pay £60 just for a cut so very reasonable. What were you expecting to pay?

For the roots DIY, easy and so much cheaper and quicker.

I only go to hairdressers for a cut/trim.

I've never really found a good one though. Plus I make sure I pay by card too, you know what they say about cash, 1 payment for the till, 2nd payment for the pocket.

Amazing how many hairdressers drive fancy cars.

That would be £89 where I go.

If you are just covering greys,why don't you box dye it yourself?

I think that’s fair really. It’s £60 for a cut and blow at mine and by cut I mean less than half an inch off the ends. Is this a new hairdressers?

Staff costs
Overheads (building, heat, light, electricity, water, shampoo and conditioner)
Colour cost
Cut
Stylist so factor in skills

£60 is good!

I am surprised you didn't check the prices though OP, I'd never just assume a price anywhere.

I pay about £100 every 6 weeks for that.

I pay 45 haircut
And full colour and hair cut 110

My salon charges that for similar and that’s a local oap salon. In the city centre it would probably be £150.

How much did you expect it to be for a cut and colour?

Not expensive. Cut and colour can easily be £60-£100 here, haircuts half that.

Did you get a quote before? If the hairdresser said that it would cost £35, and then charged you £60, then that’s expensive. However, if you didn’t get an estimate, then you can’t really complain.

I think that is about what I was paying last time I went (which was probably over 5 years ago) and is why I now purchase a box of colour from Superdrug or the supermarket and colour my own hair in the comfort of my own home. I then go for a cut/trim at the local walk in barbers (they do men and women) where I pay £12 for a cut and then style it myself when I get home.

I would have asked when I booked

I paid £75 on Monday for a cut (just an inch off) and Olaplex treatment at an average salon (not flash at all).

Your price sounds fair enough.

Quick question, as am going to the hairdressers this afternoon. Are people tipping the hairdresser these days? For example, when paying £50 for a cut and blow dry?

I pay £10 for a straight cut in London. I colour my roots myself. At the same hair dressers it is £5 for kids and £7 for men.

I really begrudge paying more than that - it’s a 15-20 min task.

That's what I pay up north for uplift, trim , wash and blow dry but that's cheap. Most of my local hairdressers charge £90 for that so I'd say it's not bad

Normally when I go I get my roots done plus balayage and cut and blow dry for £80
That normally takes 2 1/2 hours
I thought with no balayage and just roots and trim would be a lot cheaper.
A inch of root colour and 15 min work seemed a lot.

I go to the local college and pay £10 for cut and blow dry

Hereabouts - not London - that would be cheap
