Home hairdresser vs salon. I'm thinking I need to pay the extra money a salon charges to be happy with my hair!

I've had a home hairdresser for about 8 months now & to start with I was very pleased with the result & the price for cut & highlights. Probably paid half what I would in a salon.
The last couple of times have not been so good though & I've been really disappointed with the cut & colour

I've been searching hairdresser websites in the area and the prices seem pretty consistent everywhere. But it's just such a lot of money! Looking at £100 for cut & highlights.

We have a bit more money now that our childcare costs have gone down but I'm just trying to work out how often it would need doing and the cost over a year.

Speaking to other mums locally lots of them seem to have tried the home hairdresser and ended up back at a salon.

What are your experiences? Shall I just pay the small fortune so that it looks lovely & I'm happy with it?
I could try another hd at home but I'm not sure I can face going through it again and then bumping into them at school events! At least if I'm unhappy with a salon I can just not go back.

Interested to hear what other people do.

Although I pay 85 so it's not much more I suppose.
