[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$350 haircut!!!!!!!!!! [/quote]

Should I feel shame for my 12 year old’s $500 haircut plus tip?  If she had normal hair I wouldn’t have had to do it.   She didn’t ask for it, I cared about her grooming.   It’s 1,000 times better.

The salons are getting out of control.   My other daughter, an arts student, goes to Bumble and Bumble in NYC for about $600 for highlights, cut and blow dry and tip.  Everything is priced separately and now a blow dry after a cut is an extra $100. Them charging extra for a blow dry made her start looking for another place.   Next they’ll charge extra for “premium shampoo”.  [/quote]

Why does your daughter need highlights? When I was an undergrad and grad student at Columbia I found a listserve of trainee hairdressers and would have my haircut my trainees at high end salons for a $20-40 tip. If you want to set money on fire you can’t complain about setting it on fire.

Do you think any of this is you? Why would you say your daughter’s hair isn’t normal? By normal do you mean not fitting a particular Eurocentric definition of beauty? [/quote]

Yeah that is wild. I went to hair cuttery when I was in college and was definitely not spending money on highlights or anything like that. I also didn’t have my parents money to use soooo[/quote]

I went to hair cuttery in college too but I am so realized to make money and go to a salon now.  There is a line here - some of us really do have reallly difficult hair to make look nice but those are a lot of money to spend on superficial things for a child.  (This is theoretical - as unruly as my hair is, my daughter have easier to manage hair - even the curly haired one. )[/quote]
