I have three different colours put in and I am outside of London...

I've been paying around £85 but I'm about to change my hairdresser and wondered what was typical.

I have a base colour, highlights and a cut and blow dry for £50. My hairdresser is fab, but works from a mini salon in her home, hence the price. When I had the same in a salon it was £110.

I have a colour inbetween, full head highlights cut blow dry and finish for £40, but I'm up north and use a mobile hairdresser.

RightUpMyRue · 05/12/2011 13:26

I no longer live in London but do travel back to see my hairdresser as I love him. No one else has touched my hair with bleach for 10 years as I've not found anyone else to match him.

For full head highlights, cut and a blowdry I pay £75.

MarshaBrady · 05/12/2011 13:28

I am in London, so read with that in mind.

Mine is half head £130, plus cut £60 to £70 and blowdry £20.

I like the hairdresser, Aveda, but usually split the cut and colour. Mostly as it is so dull being there for 2 hours.

MrsCampbellBlack · 05/12/2011 13:31

I'm Bath and its £70 for full head of hi-lights and another £70 for cut and blowdry but thats with the salon owner.

ExitPursuedBySanta · 05/12/2011 13:33

I think it is about £145 and I am oop North Xmas Shock

But it is the salon owner who cuts it.

valiumredhead · 05/12/2011 13:36

Half head and a cut is £70, but am not in London, in London I think I paid about £100. A cut on its own is £36.

flowerytaleofNewYork · 05/12/2011 13:37

I pay about £90, which is 3 colours of highlights plus cut and blow dry, with salon owners.

EdithWeston · 05/12/2011 13:41

£50 for the lot - mobile hairdresser in the back of beyond. And she's very good.

TracyK · 05/12/2011 13:51

I'm about £60 for half head, cut and colour with salon owner - just outside Glasgow. £78 for a full head, cut and colour.
You might be just as cheap getting a full head!

apple99 · 05/12/2011 13:53

North West and I pay £80 for half head, cut and blowdry.

Bramshott · 05/12/2011 13:54

In the SE I pay £90 for a half head (3 colours) and a wet cut (can't abide blow dry).

Withmeatthecentre · 05/12/2011 14:04

Thanks everyone - I guess £80 in a nice salon is pretty average.

sillymillyb · 05/12/2011 14:41

I used to pay £85 in a posh salon, then swopped to my local shop and they charge me £34.... and if Im completely honest, are a lot better. Im up norfff too :)

Catsdontcare · 05/12/2011 14:42

£150

Meggles76 · 05/12/2011 16:07

I am in SE and pay £98 for all of what you mention. I had been thinking that this was quite a lot and was wondering about shopping around for a better deal. However, having read this thread, it seems that I am paying an average.

Hulababy · 05/12/2011 16:10

In Sheffield.
At the spa I pay between £80 and £100
At the hairdressers near work if full price I would pay £140 but with the discount it was just under £100

KatieScarlett2833 · 05/12/2011 16:10

£60 in total. Nice salon too offers drinks incl wine and up to date trash mags

Gotta love Fife Grin

sue52 · 05/12/2011 17:50

£80 for half a head plus £50 for cut and blow dry more if I want any styling with the GHDs. I'm in the SE.

Get0rf · 05/12/2011 17:51

£90 - £100, Gloucestershire.

I have tried to economise before but it was crap, so am resigned to paying this.

ameliagrey · 05/12/2011 18:13

Just outside of London:

Half head around £100, cut £65 and blow dry.

£75 in scotland ( suburbs of big city)

thebigkahuna · 05/12/2011 19:11

I used to get mine done a few years ago and it was around £85/90 for half head highlights, cut and blowdry.

Just started having it done again as there are loads of groupon offers for salons round here to do it. The groupons tend to be £29 for half head highlights, cut, treatment (like moroccan oil or something) and blowdry.
