curious-what do you think is typical cost of a regular haircut?

I was charged $88 at Bubbles yesterday.

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

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.

Did she dry and style 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.

+1. My stylist charges $85 for a haircut that takes her a full hour to do.

I think they price for complexity but so it by pricing for time. My stylist charges more for long hair, curly hair, etc.

I only go to fancy salons when I need something complicated/color etc…

Exactly. I had a great cut at Great Clips for $22+a 10 tip.

I am asking because I was just charged what I would consider a pretty insane amount for this (and this wasn’t at a fancy salon). But I haven’t even ever been charged this much at the fanciest salons.

Obviously it varies but I would really like to get other’s opinions.

I get a shampoo and cut, no blow dry. I pay $45 plus tip.

My hairdresser gives me a bang trim for free, an overall dry trim for about $40, and a full cut with a wash (but no dry - I hate having my hair dried) for more like $80.

She does a really good job and I would pay her more than that if she asked for it.

I have curly hair and finding someone who knows how to work with it has been a lifelong dream.

$120 is common near me

Bang trim just went up to $31. So I ordered a feather razor to do trims myself. 31 + tip is - IMO - a lot to maintain every two weeks on my hair which grows really fast.

60-75. Maybe up to 120-140.

Before tip

For the owner

TELL ME WHY I PAY THIS!

Honestly, idk. I’ve been to a bunch of different stylists looking for “the one” and I can honestly say they are all mostly terrible and don’t understand how to cut hair. I spend in the 180-280 rang depending upon cut and color. I’m never wowed even when I go to really reputable salons

I hope you tip very well.

I do!

OP, where do you live? That is very high for a simple haircut.

The cost of haircuts has gone up. I think hair cutters think they’re all that and a bag of chips! Well, now they’re feeling the pinch because people are cutting back since they got so expensive. There was an article a couple weeks back talking exactly about this.

$120 is on the higher end for a place like an aveda salon, their most senior stylists probably charge that. I typically pay $80-100 in nyc or dc.

[Anonymous]

$25 at Great Clips (or many others of similar names) plus a $5 tip.

I'm actually pretty high maintenance but my hair cut is easy.

$95 plus tip in Arlington. For the owner of the salon. Once in a while I will try something cheaper and am always very disappointed, so I've decided it's worth it to go to someone I know will do an excellent job. I only get it cut 3-4 times per year, so it is not so bad.
