To ask how much you spend on your hair a year

[potas]

I mean hair cuts, colour, styling and special products. Over and above normal shampoo.
Just read on a thread where prices were mentioned casually and I am amazed at the costs.
I get my hair cut maybe three times a year. Spend less than £150 in total. My hair could look significantly better if I spent more I'm sure, and if you can afford it then no reason not to spend more.
Just wondering what is normal.

DH buzzes me with the clippers every 6 weeks or so, so nothing there. I like Lee Stafford hair putty which is about a fiver every couple of months but that's it

Possibly £3-400 for 3x baylage and cut, although I’m considering going back to my natural dark brown.

Very little. It’s been cut 3 times in past 7 years. I never dye, blow dry or straighten it

£250 a year at the hairdressers for cuts and colour

200 a year for all products

20 a year for hair accessories.

So about £500 all in.

I do want some wide plated straighteners tho but I've just put my personal budget in for the year and I'll have to keep on using my old ghds.

@shadyboots2024 ohhhhhh thank you so
much!

Just gone down a rabbit hole with his Instagram. :) I’m up in Colne so it’s not far away. :) off to sign up for everything and save some pennies for the full
monty.

If he has a referral scheme do PM me your name to give them.

£60 max. So that's 4 bottles of shampoo and the occasional treatment product.

@TheCatterall the other one you have is Laura at the hair lounge in Colne

£16 on two trims a year (hairdresser on my road charges £8 for a dry cut).

£5 every 2 months on whatever brown hair dye is on sale on Amazon.

We buy the cheapest crap shampoo and conditioner that Aldi do. I don’t use any products.

I really wish I had more money. nice hair has always been a hope of mine.

I spend less in a year than an actual decent hair cut would cost.

About 450-600 depending on how my appointments fit in the year. Litre more this year as I'll have an extra two for events

trim my hair at home when I can be bothered

tbf it's pure laziness

I used to go for a cut and blow-dry once every 2-3 months for about £50 but I just can't be bothered

I've never had my hair dyed except with henna which is more of a hair treatment as it really helps with hair health

I have had chemotherapy so my hair has really reduced in volume and it's very fragile. so I do invest in some decent shampoos and products. not sure if it has any effect though lol

About £80 every six weeks, plus a specialist shampoo and conditioner which costs about £30 a time, but lasts for ages.

£350 a year - £70 for cut and blow dry about 5x a year, that's it.

Approx £500. Cut & colour every 10 weeks. Barely anything on products.

About £80. Thats 2 haircuts.

Thanks @shadyboots2024 I have looked at them and a few others locally but see nothing on socials showing me their expertise etc and I’d rather go for someone showing that they live and breath curls - I know some folks have gone on a one day course and can claim they have the skills now but I want to treat myself to a full on curl expert at least once - 50 this year and it will be my treat to myself. :)

Will check them out though and pop in and ask a few questions. :)

I used to box dye my hair and cut my own fringe. It had zero condition to it. I then took a new job that paid a lot more and I wfh permanently. I now go every 6 weeks, cost around £700 a year. I use supermarket own brand shampoo and treseme conditioner so no fancy products.

@TheCatterall oh definitely go to Callum then! He's really lovely too, it's so refreshing not to come out hating my hair and actually enjoy the experience

I've had my hair cut twice in 10 months at £25 a time. I dye it myself every 4 weeks at a cost of £6 a time. So less than £130 a year.

About £120. I Get a wet cut 4 or 5 times a year (i have a short pixie bob) and packet dyes when it's on special offer. Usually i buy 3 or 4 at a time. Very boring. Must try harder 🤣

£50 for a cut and blow dry every 2 months and I dye it myself every 2/3 months so probably around £380 ish

I pay £60 for cut & colour around 5 times a year which I think is a bargain

My step-dad is a hairdresser. We don't live near him, but mostly we manage to orchestrate things so that he cuts all our hair once or twice a year. Very lucky indeed to have him in the family, I have paid for maybe one or two haircuts in the last 7 years. He also does my husband and kids hair most of the time. We might pay for one top up cut per boy head per year, so talking around £30 cost to the household annually.

Product wise, I bought some only curls stuff about 2 years ago, would like more but given how often I tend to do anything to my hair it feels like a wasted investment.

So ...I'm gonna say between our family of 4 we spend about £50 a year on hair tops?

£0.00 i have my hair long and if it needs a trim my hairdresser daughter does it for me and i dont dye it as its strawberry blonde naturally

These threads always surprise me as most mumsnetters say they’re in six figure salary jobs… yet most seem to cut their own hair!

i use bar shampoo which probably costs around £20 a year they last ages
