I just paid 60 and just curious what others pay. Not a restyle just a cut and blow dry.

£108 Cut, colour, blow dry, senior stylist.

Fontainebleau007 · 10/08/2024 18:35

£38 for cut and blow dry

Mimilamore · 10/08/2024 18:50

£32 every 6 months

CatchMeOnTheFlippetyFlip · 10/08/2024 18:52

£75 for a cut and blow, North London.

Mammyloveswine · 10/08/2024 19:06

I pay £75 for full head of highlights, toner, cut and finish (I like a curly blow dry!).

I'm in the north east and honestly my hairdresser is now one of my good friends... many a time she'll even get cocktail tins in if I have a Friday night appt.

Think just a cut and finish is £20/25 depending on length!

MonsteraMama · 10/08/2024 19:08

Kitchen scissors and my old £10 hair dryer 🙃

I'm sure my hair could look much nicer if I could be bothered going to a salon, but alas, I am fundamentally lazy and I don't like strangers touching my head.

noideabutstilltrying · 10/08/2024 19:11

When I was blonde I was paying £120 for foils and a blow dry.

Now I've got black and red hair it's £65.

In Suffolk

£14 at the local Turkish barbers. Short hair is so much easier 😉

Yeah, my wife’s hair costs £12 in the Turkish barber.

Wash, cut, and blow-dry, $160 plus about $30 tip, east coast city in the USA.

FastFood · 10/08/2024 19:24

Cut & blow dry, in North London, £55, which includes free fringe trims in between haircuts. And my hair stylist is bloody fantastic. I'd pay 3 times that price if needed

Tagyoureit · 10/08/2024 19:31

If I bother going to the hairdressers about £35 in SE London but I tend to cut my own as it's easy to do a straight, no fuss cut.

My hair refuses to hold any style whatsoever so not point spending on it.

Kevinbaconsrealwife · 10/08/2024 19:36

£65 for half head foils and cut…east mids…

RufustheFactualReindeer · 10/08/2024 19:41

£50 for a wet cut, about as far south as you can go

Yourinmyspot · 10/08/2024 19:43

£14 for a dry cut.

Ginkypig · 10/08/2024 19:44

I’m quite lucky I don’t pay anything because my dp’s hairdresser/stylist? (Not sure what they are called now). Does a dry trim (or just sprays the ends) on mine about two or three times a year for free at the end of dp’s appointment. His Mohawk and my trim (in long hair) both done in about 35 minutes.

I mean technically it costs £20 but that’s for his hair not mine.

dp gets his done every 4 weeks without fail so I suppose he gets his money’s worth.

last time I was in I gave him a ten euro note I happened to have as he was going on holiday as a tip and a little token of appreciation that he does it but he doesn’t expect anything.

if I wanted more than that or started dying my hair I’d have to find someone else!

Catsinaflat · 10/08/2024 19:47

£99 cut and blow dry with master stylist in West London. (I have a jawline bob)

BeReet · 10/08/2024 20:01

I pay nothing as my husband cuts my hair for me. He and the kids have theirs done by a friend who is a mobile hairdresser and comes to the house. I pay £7 pp for that.

spikeandbuffy24 · 10/08/2024 20:30

@Everyoneesleistheproblem I go to Hairking Callum and he's great

LaWench · 10/08/2024 21:27

£70 for cut, foils, roots, blow dry and style.

I am very keen to go to one of the expensive but niche curly hair people you see on tic tok.

I have curly hair and I go to one of those. She cuts it dry and curl by curl and only then does she wash it and style it to curly perfectness. I was over 40 before I found her, after a lifetime of shocking haircuts.

What's the name of salon?

A bit of a sweeping statement. What is "overcharged" in Newcastle is a normal price in London. Hairdressers pay for their education, taxes, VAT, and premises. All of it cost money. Not to mention utilities.
Someone doing a "dry cut", whatever it is, will probably not be expected to pay the same price as wash, cut and blowdry (which takes 45-60min). Someone working for Sassoon will not be expected to charge the same price as someone working in a nursing home, for example.
I agree, £160 is a bit steep even for London and very much sounds like a director level at Sassoon. And having had my haircut done at Sassoon before I promise you it is miles better than what Split Endz on a high street can do.

Whichever way you look at it or try to justify it, £160 for a haircut anywhere is outrageous.

Just say you can't afford it and move on. There is no shame in that. I can't currently afford it either. But I did used to work in a salon so I know what kind of outgoings there are. And there is not shortage of people who are able to afford it so it's not a big loss if you or I can't.

FOJN · 11/08/2024 20:08

£15 dry cut with a barber, once every 4 weeks. South West

lanthanum · 11/08/2024 20:17

£15 for a dry cut, £5 for just the fringe. Hairwash after an operation (so much easier with their basins) free "as you're a regular customer". Village hairdresser.
