Where to get a haircut for 11-14yr olds that is not over $50?

My nearly 12 year old still goes to Cartoon Cuts. Works great! $22.99

Happy with my young teen's cut at Lume: lumehairstyles.com. They gave us the kid price ($35).

Sorry, we live in Rockville.

I guess I am looking for a place that shampoos, does a simple cut, and blow dries. A little more than a kid's cut location where they just spray water, quickly trim and walk out. Great idea, but she is in middle school and I am looking for middle of the road. Not the simple $20, but not $60. It doesn't seem like there are many places like this.

np Basically you want to underpay a professional.

Lol $60 for a trim is nuts

Exactly, I pay $65 for a shampoo, conditioner, scalp massage, cut with layers, thinning, blow dry, and flat iron.

There should be an option in the $30-40 range for a shampoo, cut, and blow-dry for tweens. Asking for $65+ for a middle schooler is a joke.

Its the same amount of work for a tween and you so its not unreasonable.

Tracy at Extreme Hair, Germantown, MD. She is absolutely fantastic for all ages and gender. Read her Yelp reviews.

Man! I am going to regret this.

Also, she is by appointment only since the pandemic. And you need to wear a mask.

Yes, that is the best method. What's your problem with it? You want to actually pay for the whole rigmarole of shampoo, conditioner, cut in the chair, blah blah blah? That's what makes hairdressers expensive, OP, and it serves no purpose for the actual hair trimming!

Cutting dry hair across the back is NOT how you cut hair? wth

How do people not understand the difference of:

Adult:
Shampoo
Conditioner
Scalp treatment/massage
Hair products
Cut
Layers
Thinning
Blow dry
Iron spray
Flat iron
Finishing products

Tween:
Shampoo
Conditioner
Trim
Blow Dry

Am I lost on this? One would easily take 30min less than the other.

I am an adult and I don’t even get all the things that you mentioned for a haircut. My haircuts are shampoo, conditioner, haircut with a tiny bit of product. I have not had a blow dry ever really. Caveat: I have curly hair I do not ever straighten it. Neither of my teens, one with curly hair like mine and one with wavy hair, have ever had a blow dry either.

I have friends that pay $90 plus when they get their haircut. I never understood that as my haircut is half that (at an actual salon—nothair Cuttery). The only time I pay more as when I get my hair colored.

Maybe I’m cheap, but if you’re paying $50 or more (minus tip) for just the shampoo and haircut, then you’re paying too much.

It depends on what type of hair and what type of hair cut the person want. We take our son to a barber shop. It's usually Asian own. You sit down, they spray some water and start cutting. They do their thing and in about 20 minutes, you are done. $25. Don't even need appointments but that could change anytime with covid cases going up.

Try a different Hair Cuttery because all the stylists are different. I've been going to the same lady for 15 years and get a great shaped cut, thinned out to reduce bulk in my thick hair. Can't beat it.

+1 It's really ignorant to assume that a dry cut is somehow less than.

One of my favorite stylists when I lived in SoCal did only dry cuts. Hair looks different when it dries, especially if it has waves or kinks in it. My hair is wavy. The stylist also gets a better sense of how to cut it to mesh with the hair's texture and direction of growth, which wet hair masks.

Even those who find it challenging to cut dry will at least take another look after blow-drying and finesse the cut once the hair is dry.

+1. I am an adult and I guess I’ve been getting tween cuts all this time and never noticed. I have also gotten hair cuttery cuts and blow drys quite a few times and it’s been fine. But I have long straight hair and it’s hard to screw up a trim.

There's a Fantastic Sam's on Rockville Pike. They've been good.

+1. Been taking my kids here for years.
