Average price for hair cut/dye at the salon.

[JediBonas]

My cut/color used to run around $200 + tip. My stylist recently changed careers so I've decided to try coloring my hair at home - combined two different colors from madison reed and I think it came out pretty decent!

I used to live in California and I'd get a cut, blow dry, color on my roots (cause they're gray), and highlights for $90 - $100...depending how much she did. Five years ago I moved to the Southeast and was shocked at the cost....easily starting at $200. In all honesty, I thought it would be cheaper here. I eventually found a place and I pay $135. I'm actually getting my hair colored and cut tomorrow at a Supercuts because my hairdresser is on leave because she had surgery and I will be traveling a lot in October. I don't think Supercuts is going to be cheaper though.

Today I was at the salon. I’ll admit it has been awhile. My SIL usually does my hair, and does it well. My nephew was hospitalized with myo-pericarditis for a week. I did not want to even ask.

Moving along, I asked for my roots, which ended up being more than as they were a bit more than grown out ,, she suggested a gloss to tone down the brightness of the rest, and cut and blow dry.

I am sitting there thinking, this is gonna be hmmm 150, no, 170. Then thinking it can’t be, that’s too much, but it was a lot of work, and I loved my hair. Final tally, 140.75$ is this high, low, average in your neck of the woods?

I did tip, and I tipped well. I had never heard of this place or gone there, but everyone is now raving about it, I’ll be going back,

For my area, that's a good price for all you got. Glad you liked it!

Suburb of Cincinnati and my daughter pays $150 for a cut and color. I use a semi-permanent color on my hair at home. My cut is $40 every 4 months and I trim my bangs between cuts. I'm blessed with longer wavy hair so low maintenance.

I pay about $350 for a cut and highlights before tip, and my colorist doesn’t cut. He’s very good, haircuts average $70 here. ETA NYC metro area of NJ.

 

[Bella the Ball 360]

Where I live is 70 for a cut alone and that is not going into Boston but rather in the suburbs. Tip is another 20 so...some of you are getting a good deal! However, the cost of living in MA is outrageous not as bad as NY but pretty bad..

 

[lynxstch]

Small city in Western MD..$20 for a cut,,$50 for color..glad I don't live where it costs as much as most of you! I do color my own hair at home, too expensive to have it done at the salon

 

[nene0182]

I get mine done every 8 weeks. After tip I pay about $240 for cut, color, and eyebrow wax.

 

[OneOftheB's]

If I go with the works (foil, roots and hair cut) it's $220, root only are $80, cut and roots are $125. I'm in northern Metro Atlanta

 

[evilmommie]

South Orange County, California. You’re going to pay $200 or more for that here. The closer you get to ocean - price goes up.

 

[mjkacmom]

Average for me in upstate NY. I have long and thick hair. For a full foil and cut it’s $160+tip. For a partial and cut it‘s $115+tip. To be honest I think I‘m getting a deal because it takes 2-4 hours to foil and process me .

AND I don’t get it blown out or styled… I go home and do it myself.

I always get a cut and highlights together, once I had to go in for root job (too many grays) and I left with a wet head because I didn’t want to pay for a blowout.

This is great information to know as a guy who wants to get married in the future. When the future wife wants to get a color and cut for $200+, I won’t freak out. I’ll just accept it’s the norm (and I won’t be going to get those sports game tickets that week). It’s things like this that makes me happy to be a guy who spends around $20 just for a cut (I don’t need to color yet ).

 

[Wendy31]

I‘m in the south & just paid $220 yesterday for color/highlights & a cut ($175 + 25% tip).

I go every 10-12 weeks.

(The prices of the salon where I go have increased about $40 over the past year or so… I think I used to pay about $145.)

 

[Wendy1985]

I pay 30 dollars at hair cuttery

 

[elgerber]

Timely question. I can actually answer since I just had this done on Monday after 27 months. I paid $168.75, that included a 25% tip, for a full foil and cut.

 

[Karin1984]

I think in NL I pay about 50-70 euro for cut & dye? We don't tip hairdressers here.
It was half that price when I went to a school for hairdressers near my old home. It took a bit longer, but the result was (usually) just as good.

 

[izzy]

I just paid $88, not including tip, for cut and color a few days ago. I live in a semi-rural part of Virginia. I thought the price was quite reasonable.

 

[HeatherC]

$42 plus tip for a haircut at my salon. Color my own hair so don’t pay for that. This is about an hour outside of Boston.

 

[Julie's Haircut]

OK, some (many?) women are absolutely insane, paying such prices.

If you're married or in another LTR, you can drop the act. You've already hooked a partner and we're no longer wowed nor give a damn. And guys are well aware that you do this in a futile attempt to impress other women, not for us and not for yourselves.

$70 and up for a simple haircut??? Heck, Julie can do a much better job with his weed whacker than some full-of-himself stylist who'd charge such a ripoff price. For free yet.

Hahaha! I gladly pay $100+ for just a cut, no color. My husband doesn't care what my hair looks like, so it's not for him. It's entirely for my benefit. If my hair looks good, I am much happier.

I go to a curly specialist, and the last haircut I got was.... less than stellar. So, I'll be going back to the master stylist I was very pleased with previously and yes, I'll pay more, but I will always be happy with my hair. I get my hair cut once, maybe twice a year.
