Haircut prices = DUMB!

If you think haircut pricing in general is dumb, wait until you hear this: I pay 85 dollars a pop for my haircuts. Now that's dumb.

Better than in L.A. though, where I routinely paid $120-$150.

And no, no color or anything else.

Holy crap!

As I only cut my hair maybe once a year, I don't pay much. When I get it dyed it usually runs around $100 ($75-80 for the color, the rest for a tip). Heck, half the time I dye it myself out of a $5 bottle from the pharmacy. (Well, 3 bottles because my hair is very long and thick.) Guess I'm just cheap that way...lol

Well, uh, yeah, but uh... have you seen my hair?

There. I put a pic that shows my hair in my photo gallery. Now who wouldn't pay $85 for that??

Wait...I don't get it?

I think most people, if they look at the first photo in my "gallery," will wonder wtf I'm paying $85 for when a toddler wielding dull scissors could get basically the same effect.

I pay 13$ plus tip at the barber shop here in town.

As a hairstylist I would much rather have you come in and bring a picture of what you are looking for in your hair style. Let me help you to find what will work with your hair type. Some times you may already have the cut you just have no clue how to style it. Just a thought, if your hair takes you longer than 15 minutes to do, you need to find a style that works better for you. When someone comes into me for a haircut I will do everything in my power to be sure that I understand what they are looking for, even if it means having a 1/2 consultation to be sure we are on the same page.
Please by all means, tell your stylist if you don't like something about what she/he has done to your hair. Most places have a week for a so called grace period, if you don't like something about your cut or color, call. It is easier to fix a haircut than it is your reputation as a stylist. Also, if you don't like the way it looks while you are in the chair say so and don't leave until it is right or else don't pay the service until it is right.

As always... just my .02...

I'm pretty easy-going, so when I get the itch for a new style I just go in and tell them the approximate length I would like and the amount of time I want to spend on it daily. Then I tell them just to surprise me...lol As long as it's within my length and maintenance preference, I'm totally cool with letting them do whatever they think would fit me best, or if they just want to try out a new style/method, I'm a pretty willing guinea pig.
