I was charged $120. And yes for a woman. Took her 10 minutes.

Did they wash your hair?

Yup. I have fairly short hair. maybe 15 minutes tops. the actual cutting probably took 2 minutes. it was literally a trim.

Price sounds in the range. I'm sure it took more than 2 mins. It's not their fault you have an easy cut. Trims are the same price.

Most salons don’t price the complexity of a cut. A haircut is a haircut whether it takes 10 min or 40. If you don’t think you need a fancy salon to do your trim go to a hair cutter.

I would say $60-80 for a women’s cut with a basic wash and style. But every stylist had their own rate for a haircut and it has nothing to do with what kind of cut or style you want. I’ve never once had a stylist give me a lower rate than what they normally charge because I “only want an inch off” or I leave with wet hair.

Outrageous! I would ask to see a breakdown of that price.

She works for herself. I guess she can charge whatever she wants. But I won’t use her again obviously. And yeah I get that it’s an easy cut. I have gotten this same cut in many places and even in the nicest places haven’t been charged that much. But lesson learned.

Didn’t you ask for an estimate first?

Who asks for an estimate for a haircut? It’s not a car repair.

I just do hair cuttery unless it's a whole new style. It's about 40-45$ with wash, cut, blow dry. No need to pay 100$+ for someone to trim an inch or two.

I don’t know why you pay it. If the person is really, really great, and your hair is complicated, then keep doing it. Otherwise find someone who is cheaper.

Around here? $80+

Yeah, asking for an estimate is weird. Don’t they have a price list on their website? If not I would just ask in advance what do you charge? Did you not do that? That is on you.

it’s always interesting to me when people need to comment completely unhelpful things like this. I mean is it narcissism or what?

NP- it's good advice though. Learning to do this saves a LOT of money. I personally cannot figure out men's hair but a straight line trim for women is something anyone can master. Use that money for something else!

A lot of salons post prices or have a price booklet. It can get waffly for surcharges for hair length, caliber of stylist etc.
