I have medium, not quite shoulder length hair and just paid £220 for highlights and cut. Excellent quality work, she did a really good job understanding what I wanted when I didn't really know myself but fuck me, that feels expensive no? I'm not in London but not in the north either. I have also really struggled to find a good hairdresser, this is the 4th salon in the area i've tried. They all seem expensive and with cost of living increases maybe this is normal? Cripes.

Wow!!!!

NutellaEllaElla · 22/09/2023 17:02

People with sub £100, is that in a salon or is it a mobile hairdresser??

It's a salon. I don't get my hair coloured or highlighted, but if I did, it would still be sub £100.

Crispynoodle · 22/09/2023 17:12

£60 full head foils cut blow dry!

Crispynoodle · 22/09/2023 17:12

Oh it's a salon

Shadypaws23 · 22/09/2023 17:20

Not colour but I pay
£85 for a specialist curly cut (with wash and dry) or £55 for cut without wash and dry (so just a dry cut)

Balayage would be £200 or colour (not lighter) £75

Foil 3 colour highlights, trim, wash and blowdry, cost me £70 in a small Devon town.

That's good value for foils😊

ScarletWitchM · 22/09/2023 18:18

£80 for cut & £150 for colour

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 22/09/2023 18:19

£108 for a full head of colour and cut with blow dry in a naice town in West Yorkshire!

Paid £65 a couple of weeks ago for a cut and colour. Hadn't been done for 10 months, so there was a lit to do.

New hairdresser, but seemed OK.

I have never got over the loss of my last hairdresser, who was brilliant. Right up until he retired. Early. Not even old. Rotter 😀

Mine is at a salon.

SM4713 · 22/09/2023 18:35

Have you tried a salon academy/training school? Vidal Sassoon, Joshua Galvin (central training academy), Philips hair salons etc? I used to go to one between zone 1-2 and it was about £12 for a wash/cut/blow dry and I think highlights were £30. The students are closely monitored and I've had much better results there, than in a regular salon! The only downside was that it often took longer, so I'd take a book.

Marylou2 · 22/09/2023 18:43

£140. Half head of highlights, Olaplex, cut and finish. NorthWest. Hairdresser works at home. Saw someone on Tiktok pay $800 in NewYork for almost the same. I was shocked!

NotMyFinestMoment · 22/09/2023 18:46

Mine is around £220 too, full head of highlights and a cut. The bit that irritates me is my hair is pretty short and thin now, but it still costs the same amount yet takes a fraction of the time it used to take to do it.

justdoit43 · 22/09/2023 18:46

I pay £150 for full head highlights cut and blow and toner. I thought that was expensive but she has recently put her prices up to £230 for this and there is no chance I can afford that.

MadKittenWoman · 22/09/2023 19:16

Roots, including pre-treatment as very resistant grey, half-head foil highlights, conditioner if it needs it, trim of thick shoulder length hair, blow dry and straighten, £95. Mobile, but she charges the same if I have to go to the salon. South West.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 22/09/2023 20:14

£80 for wash, cut, full head of highlights, conditioning, blow dry. Thick, shoulder length curly hair; West Yorkshire village. Tea, chocolates and chat are free.

mumtotwox · 22/09/2023 20:15

I was £234 recently and I'm in Edinburgh 🤦🏼‍♀️

Willow12345 · 22/09/2023 20:25

£220 and I'm in London. But it takes 3+ hours and I've got lots of hair 😊

SistersNotCisters · 22/09/2023 20:41

I pay £54 for cut and colour and some other treatment that's I don't pay attention to. Small village in Scotland.

faban · 22/09/2023 21:18

£250 in SW- she's just upped her prices so I'm not going anymore as it's just too much now

faban · 22/09/2023 21:19

I'm going back to my old place which charges £80!

Invisimamma · 22/09/2023 21:22

Salon, mid-range stylist is about £100 for cut and colour. But it think it's probably more like £120 now as prices recently went up.

It's an extra £30 for olaplex at my salon.

Central Scotland.

RosesAndHellebores · 22/09/2023 21:26

Cut, colour (foils - 2/3 colours), blow dry, £180, SW London. Every 6/7 weeks.

ScribblingPixie · 22/09/2023 21:28

£155 North London.
