How much do you spend on a cut and colour?

[Lilliput]

Last time I had it done it cost £70 .
I am now strapped and need to spend less, how much do you spend on your getting your hair done, do you get what you pay for?

I get a cut and blowdry - it's about £40

I have half head highlights cut and blow dry and it costs bewteen £80-£100 depending on which stylist does it.

i do mine myself..the colour as cant afford to have the hairdresser do it and i have grown it so that it can just be trimmed two or three times a year so now is

about 8x8 quid for dye and 3 x 35 for cuts per yesr

so that is about

169 quid per year

cut and blow dry and half head highlights about £120. I let my roots grow and grow till I have it redone! Have tried other places but cut never as good.

I'm worried I will make a total dogs arse of doing the colour myself. I am 'blonde' so not easily rectified.

My last cut was £15 and colour was a Boots DIY at £2.50. I'm perfectly happpy with it and loads of people have commented (although I guess they could be being polite ).

£50 (I have highlights.....2 tones ). I used to spend £100 for exactly the same result but in a salon that offered you wine and all the hairdressers wore woolly berets and a lot of electric blue eye shadow.

Cut & colour was creeping towards £80 so I've stopped having it highlighted and when cut & blowdry hit £40 I changed salon and asked for the most junior stylist. It starts getting silly-money doesn't it?

My hairdresser charged £52 for colour with foils and cut blowdry, but i have been going to her since i was a child.
Try shopping around esp the smaller hairdressers can be cheaper.

Lilliput, if you are doing lightening rather than straight forward all over colour I would absolutely go to a hairdressers. Homespun highlights always end up going horribly wrong (ime)

people have complimented me too

also you dont have this roots hting because i just redo it

I'm inclined to agree with you Farb. I used to clour my own as a student and it ended up very yellow.

do you have to be blonde if you change to brown with lowlights or highlights its easier

£50 for colour and £20 for cut, but my hairdressers is moving so i'm very sad atm

But I am a natural blonde, I just need a little help

£62 for root tint and WCB

lol at putting up with what you were born with

i would except its going awol

Mine had gone over the 100 pound mark so I swapped hairdressers and thought I'd got a bargain last time at £76!

Watts great idea! Did you whisper it so no-one heard? I think I'd be scared to ask but I'm sure my hairdresser would - she's always saying she's skint.

the hairdresser iwe nt to was 60 quid and he hiked it to 95 in one go so that was the last he saw of me
