Expensive haircuts

Gosh! I think the most I've ever paid was $40, and that was for an up-do for my hair when it was really long. A typical cut is about $30. No high-lighing and what not.

I might spluge once in my lifetime, but not quite $800 worth of splurging!

If I had the money just laying around, I would probably do it.

I think the most I've spent is around $200 Canadian on a cut, colour, blow dry straight.

If I had that kind of money in my "disposable' funds and thought I needed a makeover, I'd go for it! It is hard for me to imagine ever being that rich though...maybe if I won the lottery.

I really like the woman who cuts my hair now, even followed her to her new salon. Highlights and a cut cost me $85.00 - $120.00 depending on whether I just need the roots done.

I want hair extensions, not to make my hair longer.. I like the length but i want my hair to be thicker!

I personally wouldn't spend more than $100 for a hair cut, BUT you are talking about a complete hair makeover... That could include a perm or straightening, color or highlights, weaves, head and neck massage, deep conditioning, etc. in addition to a hair cut.

For $800, you are paying for the name of the salon as well as the professionals doing your hair. Don't forget that the tips will increase the price. If you love your hair after, the upkeep will probably cost less, and you will want to go back to the same salon.

Once, I saw a woman go into a high-end salon and all she asked was that they keep the length of her hair. The stylist cut her hair very short, with long strands left long around the circumference her head... she hated it! I'd want the stylists to explain the plan before they start, or better yet go in first for a consulation.

The most I've ever spent is around $60 for a hair cut. I don't really dye or do highlights so I save money on all that. But wow $800! I couldn't imagine spending that much. Even if I had plenty of money I don't think it would be worth it. I'm happy with my look, there are so many better causes that you could use the money for than your hair.

I spend about $125 (w/o tip) for cut, color, hi/low lights and eyebrow wax.
I should pose this to my stylist as the salon owner sends him to London (its an Aveda salon) to learn new things.
For $800 I would spent that on something else too.

I think the most I ever spent was about 85 and that was with tip and included color ( and highlights ) cut shampoo and style ///

I am going to try the beauty school for my next cut ... shampoo cut and dry $8 .... I color my own hair

OMG. I went to a new hairdresser last night. The last one I'd been to twice and not been happy either time (don't ask me why I went back a second time...).

They did like a 20 minute hair wash and head massage and an awesome cut - exactly what I asked for! My hair is fairly long and SOOOOO thick, and I always want it really thinned out and layered to get rid of the bulk (it really needs a lot of cutting each time). The previous person never got that and I would keep saying "no, I want it MORE thinned out!!".

This girl understood, chopped heaps out, layered it so it looks great, and actually took off the 2 inches I've been trying to get chopped off for ages! I'm sooooo happy with how it turned out! I swear I weigh 3 kilos less

And how much for the cut? $30!!!!!!! I thought to myself "If it's under $50, I'll give her a good tip" (I hate tipping hairdressers). So I was very pleased and she got a $10 tip, and she seemed quite pleased with that!

I'm sooooo going back there again!

The most I've ever spent on a haircut would be 10 dollars. Hair isn't that important to me. I am a male, so that's just my nature. Also, I'd say I spend about 20 dollars on haircuts in a whole year. I tend to keep my hair quite long.

I have never spent that kind of $$ on a haircut before...I could never justify that- i'd much rather get a reasonably priced hair cut, and put the rest of my $$ in savings. / The most i've ever spent is probably $60-70 or something like that give or take a few bucks. That was for updo's and to get my eyebrows done. I don't dye my hair so that cuts out some cost for me. I LOVE my natural hair color though so for me, i'm happy the way it is! Also- I donate my hair every so often to Locks of Love (it's currently pretty long so i can donate again soon)...you have to keep it pretty healthy and long....and not fry it too much with makeovers and dying it...so that it's healthy enough to donate. / I'd much rather help people with cancer and other illnesses by donating my hair, than spend a large amount of money on myself when I don't need to do that. I take care of my hair- and it looks great- but i don't need to spend a ton for it to look pretty for me personally

I just have to say to you and your lovely thick hair! (I'm just jealous).

The most I've spent is $160 CDN on cut & colour at a trendy Toronto salon. I was pleased the first time I went. Second time was an apalling cut, and I just can't justify spending the money to colour my hair.

$800 would go on furniture or a plane ticket somewhere!
