Where can I get a cheap haircut in DC?

[Anonymous]

I'm getting my hair colored by a stylist that doesn't cut hair. I only need a simple trim and don't want to pay the high prices for those that will cut hair at the same salon. Where can I go to get just a cheap haircut in DC prior to my color appointment? Preference for Dupont/Logan/Shaw area.

Cheap? Now that the hair school has closed (sob! I miss you $11 haircuts!), you can't.

Not expensive? Your best bet is Bang Salon or Bubbles. They're both chains, and have several in the city. I think my haircut is $70. I haven't found anything cheaper.

If you are really thinking very cheap, why not go to a barber? When we lived in the neighborhood, my husband went to B&C Hair on 18th Street, not too far from Lauriol Plaza.

I know that the Aveda school has closed. It looks like the Pail Mitchell schools might still be open.

There are independents working out of shared space at Symmetry Salon Studios in Bethesda. Lower overhead means lower prices.

OP here. I'm a woman. I don't think they cut women's hair there.

If you are willing to go to NOMA, The Salon Professional Academy is a training salon. Cheap, but might be slower than a typical trim b/c a student is doing the cut.

Hair Cuttery

A barber shop with female staff will do a basic trim. Our barber shop does (way out in the burbs).

I've gone to Hair Cuttery or SuperCuts -- they are fine for a simple trim. And pretty quick, which I appreciate!

I go to PR Partners and my cut is around $50.

If you go to Hair Cuttery and opt to not have it blown dry, it is cheaper.

I've always had good experiences at Bang Salon when I just need something really simple and don't want to pay a ton. They have stylists at different levels and if you really just need a trim, you could request one of the less experienced stylists and probably get out of there for $60 with tip included.

I went to their Yelp page and there is at least one review there by a woman.

Kierra at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop in Alexandria is awesome. She cuts women’s hair and the cut is under $50
