Is £120 for cut and colour a reasonable price?

[dotnetmum]

Just wondering, I paid my hairdresser about £120 for cut and colour, is that normal?
I like the result I have to say, but it does seem quite a lot to me.
It is a nice Aveda salon on the high street.

I think it’s more about the stylist than the salon. My one used to charge over £100 for cut and colour because that she was an employee and that’s what the salon charged. She moved along to a salon nearby where she works for herself and charges almost half. My hair looks the same. You’re not always paying higher for better quality.

I wouldn't consider it to be reasonable nor value for money but I believe it's the going rate in a lot of salons. I'd never pay that.

Mine is £40/45 local hairdressers but does it as well as an expensive one does far as I can see. Cant really see point in the £180 ones!

I would say definitely normal.

Not reasonable, but it's a bit less than what I pay

I go twice a year, I love the salon, adore the colourist, feel and look better for it. I spent years cutting my own hair and all my family's hair and gloomily watching the grey take over. I hope to be able to afford it for the rest of my life but who knows.

I have paid just shy of 90 today for cut, colour (balayage/highlights) and olaplex. Included a trim for my 2 yr old DS. I'm in a northern city.

wow! I'm genuinely shocked that's how much people pay.
Might explain why i don't look well groomed and glamorous though....

Mine is £180 for cut and colour! Admittedly at a very nice salon and I’ve seen the same lady for years, after a bad experience many years ago I’m just glad to now have a decent hairdresser so it’s worth every penny to me.

That’s exactly what I paid for the same today - are you me?

Yes, about right.

I used to pay £50 for a cut and highlights from my local mobile hairdresser. I think she charges £55 now though. I couldn’t justify spending £120 on my hair on a regular basis though although OP probably has way more disposable income than me!

Me too dementedma! On the rare occasion I get my haircut I pay £20 including tip and when I did colour my hair (I’m now embracing my grey so my hair is a stylish ‘grombre’ ) I paid a fiver for a home dye kit

yes about right for Aveda salon. If you like it and it makes you feel good, it is worth every penny

Sounds normal to me. I pay £100-120 for a cut and colour in a south west city. I alternate between a full head of foils and a t section to save a bit. My hair is quite long so I only get the cut done every other time. I go 5-6 x a year. It is expensive but then I think it works out about £2/day over the whole year and you wear your hair every day don’t you

Should also say I’ve tried several hairdressers in my city and it’s always been about the same so I don’t think there’s any major bargains to be had unless you switch to a mobile one

£160 here for highlights, cut and Olaplex

Fifty quid here, small town near Edinburgh, again not a chain salon. Just the one overall colour and no blow-dry.

I pay around £90 per time and that's a small quiet local salon.

Those of you who think it is normal - where do you live?

In my part of South Yorkshire I could get 2 cut and colours at that price.

Mine costs £210. South east.

That's 4 salon visits for me MadMary, and I have a senior stylist do my hair (small market town in Yorkshire)

Yes, that sounds right. Aveda is a premium offering.

I go to an Aveda Salon outside London, I pay £58 for a cut and £62 for a full head of colour.
