As a side note, my mom was a stylist in the 60s before leaving to help my dad with his business. She's never stopped doing cuts and colors and perms for family and friends over the years. She gave me my share of bad hair cuts, perms and colors (think Billy Idol) over the years. Through it all, I learned three things:
1) It was free. Shut up and go on. 2) Hair grows out. 3) Appreciate (and show it) when you get a really good cut.

It also does not include the tip I gave her of $10 bucks because I never stiff a tip no matter how outrageous the cost. As I said, I was not told her prices were raised when I made the appointment. Your welcome to PM me if you would like to discuss this further. I believe I am entitled to state how I feel about that charge, given the title if this thread.

I say everyone joins the Hippy Movement and just
drives by all the hair places with their manes flying in the wind. Except for Kim's, she needs some appreciative customers.

Other cool thing I like about Sports Clips: The stylist records how she cuts my hair, so it prints up every time I check in. That way, if I don't get the same stylist, they can quickly see which length to use on the blade, etc.

Ok well I have a different view on this since I have been there done that. I am a licensed cosmetologist. I paid in total 21k for my education. Now granted I did not attend a run of the mill beauty school but the creme de la creme of schools. Now with that being said I do have my own business and do not cut hair but I would freakin shoot myself if I was paying my student loans back with 15 dollar haircuts on top of booth rent. Talk about digging yourself a hole.
There are huge differences between a barber and a stylists. I personally pay 115 bucks every 4 weeks for my cut and keratin treatments which to me is a steal. Now when I had color or highlights which is about every 4/6 weeks as well then that easily goes over 230. Is it a lot of money yes but it is worth every penny.There were years when I was in my early 20's where I went to places where I could get a cut and color for under 120 and while it wasn't done badly I did not love the condition of my hair or the quality of service. As with some other things in life...you get what you pay for. If you want to go to supercuts or Regis...blah blah blah expect to get what you pay for. These stylists are generally paid hourly and one can only ponder why a stylist who has invest 15k plus for their education would want to settle for an hourly wage. I know out here in San Fran it's generally because they could not pass an audition at a general salon if their life depended on it. |

I work for a Franchise because I enjoy the people that come through the door. For the most part that is. I have worked in Booth rental situations and personally prefer to be paid hourly. If you were to look at the people still in the industry today that you went to school with you would find more than half of them no longer are in the field. Why is that I wonder? I also continue to improve my skills by attending classes via the web or in person, I can't say that for the girls I work with.
Time to head out to work and make the most of it. Have a great hair day everyone!
