Hair salons

[Eiriu]

Wash, restyle and full head highlights £220 in the very outskirts of London. I'm very happy with the result but the cost was a bit of a shock. Coupled with a tip for the stylist and the junior the total was £250. I know I didn't have to tip but I always tip for services. I normally get my hair done in my home country and it's significantly cheaper.
May I ask how much you pay on average for similar?

Jeez you tipped £30? Mine gets a quid if I'm feeling generous!

I don't tip my hairdresser at all because I don't really understand how much you're supposed to tip and it stresses me out, so I just don't 🙈.

£15 for the stylist, £5 for the junior who washed my hair.

I never tip…I pay £73 for half head foils, cut and blow…..I live in NW …..been going years ….lovely salon

How much do you pay in your home country?

East Yorkshire and cut, blow dry, full head of highlights and olaplex treatment £72. Was £65 and this is the first price rise I’ve had in the few years I’ve used this particular salon

North West....£300 just for the colour. Sadly, there's no one as good.

Last time I had mine done, about a year ago, was £280 for cut colour and finish. Unfortunately they decided not to do balayage and keep the ash blonde, and did full head highlights in a bright yellow blonde instead. The cut was good though.

I now do my hair colour myself,probably costs around £20 each time for the bonded bleach, toners, developer, bond repair and finishing products. And it looks so much better.

About £80 in Scotland. I never tip.

Zone 4 London and I’ve paid everything from £90-£300 depending on the salon and stylist level (can’t say the most expensive was the best).
don’t tip so much- that’s insane!

I have a mobile hairdresser.
Full head of foils, cut and blow dry £85.
I'm in wales.
I do miss the salon experience but not the prices!

Half head highlights, all roots, toner, cut and blow is £95 in salon. I’m in Merseyside.

Wow such a wide array of prices. I tried a box due once during lockdown and it was an unmitigated disaster. In my home country I pay €120 for full head of foil highlights, wash cut and blow dry with a senior stylist. I think I'll stick to getting my hair done when I go home

Well my cut and finish costs less than the £30 that you left in a tip - £29.50 in a small local salon and it's always a nice cut.

I think it would be £70/80 with a colour, but I've never had that done. I've always just use a box dye and it's absolutely fine for covering greys/being more interesting than boring mid brown, although you don't get 'streaky bits' like you would in a salon.

But I hate doing it and am thinking of having a salon colour but I don't really know what I want or what to ask for . Must talk to the stylist next time I'm in, will make a change from being interrogated about what holidays I'm going on.

I have a mobile hairdresser and she does me and a friend at the same time. Cost £55 for T section of highlights and a wash and blow dry.

I had to stop highlights due to cost but you can find some good students in your local hair and beauty college who charge a lot less.

£82.50 which I round up to £90

Roots, highlights, blow dry and curled - in East Midlands

About £60 for a wash, cut and blow dry.

I don't colour my hair anymore. Saves a lot of money and time!

Up until the middle of last year I used to get my hair highlighted every 6-8 weeks, half head and cut/trim and it was about £136. It’s now £200 due to price hikes so I haven’t been since last year, and as a result my hair now looks like I have balayage. I stopped tipping a few years ago.

Full head colour with foil highlights and a cut;

Local salon £120
Lady who works from her home salon; £75
Local college £25

Guess which one I'm going to today for my cut and colour?!

Admittedly the college takes a little longer as the tutor comes over at regular intervals to check, but they offer a really good service

Just a wash, cut and blow dry is £5 and eyebrow waxing only £2! Okay, you don't get the whole 'salon experience' but I'm on a tight budget and it's really helped.

Prices in London (where I used to live) are ridiculous, especially for colouring.

I now do my own colour (after being repeatedly dissatisfied with hair salon results) at home.

I still have my hair cut every couple of months as it is a shorter style locally (SE town) and pay about £40.

I don't tip either.

I feel very smug here in stating I cut my own hair. I bought a hairdressing set off Ebay over a year ago and never looked back. As for hair colouring I have been using Loving Care home dye for 30 years!

I pay £125 for full head of highlights with cut and blow dry in Gloucestershire, I think this is good value.

Me too. I can't believe how much time I think about this during my appointment too 😅

I'm the same when I get into a Taxi.

Oh, this has just reminded me of when I went to a hairdressing college.
I was asked if I wanted a brew and said, "Oh yes please, that would be lovely"
The poor girl was stood there awkwardly as I sipped, eventually telling me I needed to pay for it 😳
