how often do youneed to get hair cut to maintain a style and how much do you pay?

[quickhide]

I finally had my rather boring long brown hair cut into a decent style and I love it- it's now a long-ish bob that is shorter at the back than the front and looks rather funky much better than the straggly ponytail look I had before anyway

So all you groomed and stylish ladies, how often do you have your hair cut in order to maintain it in a style that you like? And do you always go back to the same person if you are just having a trim? This time I went for a senior stylist at Toni and Guy and it was £55- seems a lot to me, but she was sooo good and really took the time to talk about what would suit me etc.

I find its how I treat my hair that has the biggest impact on how styled it stays. Only go to hairdressers about every 6 months - this is probably way too little but I look after it well day-to-day - coconut oil 1-2 nights a week, use lush henna dye (which is amazing btw) and don't brush it hardly at all.

£140 for cut & colour every 6 weeks.

I hate my grey showing through or my cut growing out (short, dark hair)

I have mine cut every four/five weeks and pay £40. I have a sharp short haircut and it grows fast.

Short style so about every 6-7 weeks. Cost including colour similar to what ifancy says.

Mine is growing. But being my hair it is doing it slowly. Was having it cut every 6 weeks - now have cut it back to every 8 weeks. Costs £15 for wash and cut and rough blow dry.

long hair only cut every 6 months or so, pay about £20
colour it myself at home every 6-8 weeks..

my hair is short and grows fast, so normally get it trimmed about every 6-8 weeks. i get a dry trim with the senior stylist, it's £18. do the colour myself.

Imo it's worth paying whatever you can afford. I pay £47 at the moment for a cut - about every 8 weeks. It looks great - my hairdresser is fantastic.

every 6 weeks - approx £120-£150 for cut & colour. I also use the shampoo and conditioner recommended by my hairdresser. I always see the same person.

I get mine cut 2-3 times a year at the most. This is mostly because I can't afford more often. I colour it at home when I feel like it. If I could afford I'd probably have it professionally coloured and cut a bit more often.

Btw it costs about £20 when I get it cut.

When I have long hair I get it cut about every 18 months (v straight, good condition hair), but now it's in a bob I really struggle to go more than 7 weeks, because it just looks so shapeless! I pay something like £40 I think, might be £45. Typically, I have finally found a good hairdresser and we are moving 200 miles away in the summer...

When I had a short cut it needed cutting every five weeks to maintain the style, but now it's long I get a trim every 8 to 10 weeks. If I leave it any longer the ends start to get straggly. I pay about £35. I've paid a lot more in the past for far worse cuts - I have a theory that once you start paying over £30 for a cut and finish it depends more on the individual hairdresser than how much you pay.

Every five weeks (v short bob verging in pixieish) my roots need doing at the same time so about £90

every 5 to 6 weeks, cut and colour (roots and sometimes foils)
Costs £40 but £55 if have foils too.
No idea who is paying £160 a time!!! Why??????????

quickhide your new haircut sounds like somehting i am contemplating as my hair is total crap at the minute and am thinking of getting it all chopped off. which T&G did you go to and do you have a pic of the type of haircut? also do you think its going to be high maintenance? im not sure i can afford £55 every 6 weeks
thanks!

Hairdressers every 6 weeks, I have a pattern of cut, Full set of high&lowlights/cut/T section. This seems to keep hair looking pretty good most of the time ( just above shoulder length bob with layers) I pay £40 for a cut, £ 75 for the T section and £100 for a full set of highlights. (colouring costs nclusive of cut) I absoloutely hate spending hours in the hairdressers so the T section visit is really more because it saves me time than because it is much cheaper.

Currently growing out a 1" crop - so am currently in short bob with fringe. I am trying to leave it as long as poss in between cuts, so can grow out. But it needs tidying up every 8 weeks or less.

I pay £20 for wash, cut and dry/style. I wouldn't want to pay a lot more - unless it was for a total re-style- and some more modern ideas.

I get mine cut about every 3 months, with a fringe trim in between. It's a medium-length bob with side-fringe, not particularly high-maintenance.

It's about £40 for a cut and blowdry, I usually see the same stylist but I'm happy to have someone else if she's not available on the day I want to go.

About every 6 weeks for a cut and blow dry, then about every 3rd cut I have some colour put on. My lovely next door neighbour will only take a fiver for a cut and blow though - and £20 for a colour, cut and blow

I was wondering this too. Have just had it cut into a v short layered bob cut in at the back. It's styled around my face with quite a long fringe - if I leave it too long the fringe will be in my face and I'll end up flicking it out all the time which will change the shape entirely. So I am thinking perhaps 5/6 weeks.

I paid 21 for a cut and blow dry but I rounded it up to 25 because at that moment I loved my hairdresser very very much

Trim and gloss colour every 8 weeks about £90 with the salon manager.

I've been growing mine for the last couple of years, when it was really short it needed cutting every 6 weeks or so, now it is longer layers (below shoulders but above bra strap) it can go a good bit longer, apart from the fringe. It is 9 weeks since I had it cut and it is looking really good.

I pay about £30 for the salon owner to cut it, she has been doing it for years and does a great job, but save a bit by having a wet cut not a cut and blow. I keep it in condition by using minimal heat styling (although I have to blow dry my fringe straight every day). I use Lush henna for my colour too, it is fabulous, if a bit messy, saves a fortune though. I only have one or two greys though, not sure how well it will cope when I get more of them

Found a great stylist a few years ago & always go to her. Have short bob so go every 6-7 weeks for a cut at £24. Get highlights done 3 times a year too & it's £60 for that & the cut/blow dry. My hair is a nightmare shape & she's knows well what will suit me & also what I can manage and am comfortable with. Often get complemented on my cut & asked who does it.
