I have long hair and need a maintenance cut? Just a cut between cuts.
Any recommendations? I’m tempted to bogey my teen daughter to do it🤣 but really I’m tempted to go to the lady at my sons barber shop. Plop myself down in the chair with freshly shampooed wet hair. My hairdresser would charge $60+tip for this where I’d get away with it being 30-40+tip at this barbershop. |
| What’s wrong with Hair Cuttery? |
| Whatever you decide, if you just do wash and cut (NO BLOW DRY OR STYLE) it should be cheaper by at least $20. |
| A Hair Cuttery-type place should be just fine for a maintenance cut. |
|
Is the $30 really that important to you? Are you ok with getting a cut to fix whatever Hair Cuttery does?
If you really just need a straight trim, there are plenty of salon where you can probably get a $40-50 hair cut. But the person you already know is $60. Is it worth it to save that money? Idk. Hair Cuttery is probably $25. And it's a dice roll. |
My hairdresser in Rockville charged $150 for a hair cut. I’m going to try a cheaper place for a trim. |
| Buy a CreaClip. Watch the YouTube tutorials. Done. |
I second the crea clip but there is also nothing wrong with hair cuttery for just a trim. |
| Hey, hair Cuttery is no longer cheap. They were bought out and are now more coperate BS. Beware. |

Go to a men's barber. This is what I did before the pandemic. Then during the pandemic, my husband just trimmed my hair, since I want to grow it out.

Just cut the front pieces yourself and ask your kid to get the back. Seriously.
I used to go get fancy Deva-style haircuts at $130 a pop. During the pandemic, I decided to try to DIY. My hair is just as good, if not better than when I was paying for expensive cuts. I am NEVER going back to the salon. Youtube is your friend. |

If you have long hair, let your daughter watch some tutorials for your hair type and then give it a try. You have room for error and can always go in to a barber if you don't like it.
Just make sure you buy real hair cutting scissors! |
Is it long one length hair or is it layered? |

If you go to Hair Cuttery, make sure you pick one of the stylists listed as "Master Stylist" (instead of "designer" or "associate" or whatever.) If you make an appointment online, even 20 minutes before you go, you can look at who's available and what their title is. The cost is like $33 or $35, instead of $25, but in my experience the results are really quite good.

Same. I think they get a bad rap, but they're not bad. I wouldn't get a major style, color, etc. or use them for a wedding look but in general they're typically fine. |
