    Question How Much Would You Expect To Pay?- Hairdresser?

    Just wondering, how much would you expect to pay for a cut, colour and a handful of foils?
    TIA

    I did pay $180 for a restyle and from dark brown to platinum, I think the up keep was about $100ish mark.

    Long to short angled bob, coloured after cut.

    Foils are about $5 per foil (depending on where you are). Full colour is around $60. Cut and blow wave is about $40...

    It does all depend on where you are, whos doing it (you can ask for it cheaper if its an apprentice), what your hair is like.. so on so forth.

    For MY hair.. I would be willing to pay about $150 for that as my hair is quite long.

    ok...thanks, just checking.
    i went this morning and had a cut, base colour and a few foils (maybe about 6?) and bought conditioner to bring home. it cost me $199. i was just wondering if i was getting ripped.
    dh would flip out if i told him it was that much. i'm going to tell him it was $120. he was still flip out over that amount.

    Holy moly! No way would I pay that much. It costs me $80 bucks tops when I was having mine done and I have a LOT of hair to cover! Plus that was all over foils as well, so probably 15?

    doesn't sound out of the ballpark to me - esp with take home product. those can be $25 themselves.

    I normally pay around 130-150 for a cut and half head of foils in Melb
    Out of the city (in Vic at least) it can be cheaper though. Used to cost me $80 in Ballarat

    And the funniest thing about it, dh just got home and said to me 'it will fade out a bit, won't it?' so, in other words 'it's too dark and I don't like it'. Rofl.

    I think it's generally better not to discuss the price!

    DH doesn't mind though because he knows I went without for a long time, and I space out the cuts and only get the colour redone (foils) every 3 months. I stopped getting my brows waxed regularly to offset the cost of the colour and now I just get them done periodically for a tidy up and tweeze the rest of the time.
