£33 here but we're very rural.

itssquidstella · 10/07/2022 11:54

£65-75 at my salon in north London.

RightOnTheEdge · 10/07/2022 11:56

It's £29.50 for a wash cut and blow dry at the salon I go to. £65 with a colour.
I'm always amazed at the prices people pay on these threads!

I only get mine done about once or twice a year because I just can't find the money more often and I still feel guilty paying it.
I would never go home with wet hair though because I don't have a car and I'm not walking through the streets with wet hair and also because the stylist dries it and then sees if it needs any more cutting to finish it off.

Yea that's about what I pay

£60ish, in central London. I'd pay more if I liked the stylist as a good hairdresser is hard to find and you wear your hair every day.
£45 may be a bargain, depends where you live.
Most salons also have different prices for different levels of experience.

Yes 45 is the cheapest.

I'm in London and have paid up to £80. Going rate seems to be around £50-60, which is what I paid 70 miles outside London too. Last woman here charged £40 and was much better than the one I got for £80!

Mine is £55, south east commuter town. That's with the most senior stylist. Same cost again for colour, which I have sometimes (I have L'Oréal diacolour which fades out).

ScruffGin · 10/07/2022 12:10

I pay £70 for wash, cut and highlights and blow-dry, so probably about right?

How do ppl manage to only get their hair cut twice a year.

I would look like I'd joined a Rock band if I did that. Mine needs every 7 to 8 weeks.

Can't imagine now how we managed in lock down but we did.

That is exactly what I was thinking... just dry it yourself at home?

Blow drying myself at home is not the same as a blow dry from the salon. They get it straight and voluminous at the same time without using any straighteners. I can't do that. I'd have to dry it and then use straighteners.

BadlydoneHelen · 10/07/2022 12:15

Midlands here: £28 wash cut and dry with salon owner, £25 with senior stylist

BellePeppa · 10/07/2022 12:15

£20 from mobile hairdresser. Like a pp I wash it first but she blow dries it and uses a curling wand if I want. She’s a really good cutter I’m lucky to have her.

UseOfWeapons · 10/07/2022 12:19

£27.
If I have my roots done, it’s about £59.
Love my hairdresser!

ManateeFair · 10/07/2022 12:20

I pay £50 in a suburb of Manchester. That’s for a trim from their top stylist. If I went for a restyle cut it would be £60. For their most junior stylist, who is newly qualified, it would be £35 - 45 I think. It’s quite an edgy salon and their prices are pretty reasonable for the kind of stuff they do - an equivalent place in the city centre charges a lot more.

HoneyFlowers · 10/07/2022 12:24

I typically find there no difference in paying cheap or more to the quality of the cut, in fact the worst cuts have been when I've paid the most (£70).

monkeysox · 10/07/2022 12:25

I pay about that for hilights too.

Sorrynotsorry2 · 10/07/2022 12:27

£25

That's what I pay and my hairdresser is self employed working from home. I used to pay upwards of £60 in the salon.

NoseyNellie · 10/07/2022 12:29

FWIW I just checked the Supercuts website and shampoo, cut & blowdry is £29.00 from them!

Last professional cut was 2018 (don’t remember price but around £30) Have since grown it out and have a hack at it every now and then myself!

angieloumc · 10/07/2022 12:39

Been going to the same salon for years. I gave hair past my shoulders and she charges £45 for wash cut and finish. My DD 17 has long hair nearly to her waist and hers is £50. We're in West Yorkshire.

angieloumc · 10/07/2022 12:39

*have not gave bloody autocorrect!

Scarecrowrowboat · 10/07/2022 12:42

£10 for a pair of hairdressers scissors. Put it in a ponytail every couple of months and cut the end off.

That's quite low for a branded name hairdresser.
