To get a dry cut

[cheeseypizza]

Would I be unreasonable to go into a hairdressers just for a dry cut (or wet cut dunno the difference). Usually get a cut and blow dry but hate sitting for so long. But feeling stingy to just get a dry cut lol.

I have my hair washed and cut but don't get my hair styled after to save time.

One thing to ask, is would they prefer to cut it wet, but you wash it at home first. So you arrive with wet hair.

I always have just a dry cut. Once I realised a blow dry is 15 error no.

My cut is done dry on purpose.

Of course it’s after it’s been colored and blow dried so it takes forever, but prior to coloring I got dry cuts all the time.

I have a bad neck and always just say I don’t want it washed for that reason. When I didn’t have a specific hairdresser I do think it used to piss them off but I am not paying an extra £20 for something painful I don’t need
My usual hairdresser doesn’t seem to mind

Yes I go with wet hair FYI

I stopped having my hair wet cut several years ago when I got fed up with bad hair cuts from director-level staff at so-called ‘premium’ salons, or finding a good stylist only to find they’d moved on by the time I went back a few months later. I also rather resented the faff and time a wash, cut, dry and style took.

I went to Supercuts a few times and had some of the best hair advice and cuts I’d had in a long time (which makes me wonder what the premium salons were charging £60+ for...) but then my local one closed down. So now I go to a barbers that also does women’s hair, particularly as all I want is a trim, and it’s £14. In and out, no faffing, really helpful stylist, job done.

I usually have a wet cut and ask them not to dry it 😮 super cheeky of me but i can't afford the £50 they add for a blow dry tbh, especially as nothing they do makes my hair stay that way for more than 2 hours

I like dry cuts because I have curly hair and it's easier for the hairdresser to see how long it will look when it's finished if it's dry.

It's just a trim I need anyway to get the ends off.

I only ever have dry cuts. I only have a bit taken off each time.
Hate the whole hairdressing experience so it works for me just having a quick trim

I hate it too pink. Is your hair long?

I never would but only because a hairdresser once told me she was grossed out working with she had to work with 'dirty' hair .. it never left me and now I always wash my hair before I go even though they will
Immediately wash it when I get there 🙄

I literally had a last minute holiday panic last week and got a dry cut 8 hours before the flight as it’s all they could fit in. I’ve literally never had more compliments on my hair 😂 maybe a fluke but who knows?

All of the places I’ve been that do dry cuts stipulate that hair must be clean (washed within last 24 hours) and they have the right to refuse to cut dirty hair.

Not unreasonable at all. I been for a dry cut loads of times.

I wash my hair before I go and turn up with it wet but I do go to one of these dry cuts only, men £3, ladies £4, walk in, sit and wait your turn places.

I went once when I was totally skint and expecting the worst and have absolutely loved how she cut my hair, so I continue to go to her and tip well :-)

Yes I do have long hair so just have it tidied up x

Hair salons are a swizz.

The one my child goes to assesses each person individually and the instruction for them was to wash it 2 weeks before coming in AND to come with any product they use daily/regularly in the hair. Weird but they seem to think it’s crucial to cut it that way. As I said previously they will only cut their hair dry. Seems to work. They go to a specialty service due to hair type, the rest of us just go to any old hairdresser and have the regular wash and cut.

I always get a dry cut. My hair is so thick and wavy that it takes about 40 mins to wash, dry and straighten. I'd rather do it at home before and then just go in for a cut. My stylist always cuts my hair when it's been dried anyway.

If I had to go in two weeks after washing my hair it would be stuck to my head with grease lol.

Yeah, this would have been me as well until around 45yo when my hair went the opposite way. No way my other kids could go for 2 weeks without washing their hair.

This child’s hair needs to go for 2 weeks, although when they were a teenager they were directed to do it weekly as even though it didn’t really suit the hair the scalp was producing the usual teenage grease. But now it’s fortnightly and that’s with a lot of sweaty physical activity daily as they do lots of exercise. They are definitely the odd one out in our family!!

I dry cut my own hair with wikihow guide-it takes longer than pro (obv) but site had loads of useful pics/hacks after i was shelling out bigtime for haircuts for us all that were crap/not what we were after it really suits us..really happy&save £ too.i have cut it short&blunt layers with side parting below jaw one side&tucked behind ear on other..i also do myDC .does help we all have really thick wavy hair though so on a dry,loose layered cut is more forgiving than wet precision work..give it a go.

Hairdresser here! General rule would be if just a couple of inches off a longer haired one length cut then dry is totally fine. Anything more styled and complicated such as a bob for instance always a cut and blow-dry as you need to cut the hair wet to get angles right then dry it and see where the weight lies for thinning, texturising, trimming a fringe if there is one etc. I would never cut hair wet and just leave it as you can't see where any of the weight is lying, if your client has anything like a cows lick that would cause the hair to bounce at one part and not look right and would most likely result in your client leaving with an uneven haircut. Only exception to that rule would be very curly hair as the dried result would be similar to the wet result just bouncier although I'd still be happier drying it to ensure its 100%.
