[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're spending $400 on your hair and won't shell out an additional $100 in tips ($80 to stylist, who usually shares with the assistants who get you a beverage and get you ready for color application, plus $20 for shampoo person), you're cheap. The $100 spread among those people makes a big difference to them and not as much to you. Plus, honestly, it affects the quality of service you get. If you can't afford that, go to a less expensive salon. [/quote] :lol: Spoken like a 19 year old cosmetology student in the Midwest. My $400 hair place in the DMV is nothing special at all. I know they won’t trash my hair and the stylist is nice; I like her. But no, honey, there is nothing you could take away except for my tea- everything else is the the bare minimum you expect for color and cut, so that $400 is absolutely for her time, talent, and expenses.[/quote] If you’re paying $400 for “nothing special at all”, then you’re a fool not to go someplace cheaper. I pay half that and my salon is great.[/quote] Do you live in DC? What services do you get? What’s “special” about your great place? Because I’ve been to the salons named in magazines and tagged by socialites and DC political women and they’re good. Talented and nice people. But there is nothing special about the ambiance or services outside of a well trained stylist. Nothing. Ambiance and whatever imaginary extras some people keep referring is nothing. [/quote] I went to Luigi salon in Georgetown and the stylist could get the basics layer done right, I came home with uneven hair and -$120. I see a new stylist near my home now, he is freelancing and talented, with 20 percent tip a haircut is less than 100. [/quote] I completely agree with this thread. Salon services in DC are SO lackluster. actually, coming from Los Angeles, it's kind of shocking how bad it is. [/quote] You made me want to move to LA! 🤪[/quote]
