TTC After a Loss
NTTCALR - For those who color your hair...
I got an estimate for cut and color today. I decided to stop doing Multi-color or color and highlights in an effort to trim my hair expenses and received the rate below from the salon (The person that does my hair does a really good job)
Cut - $35
Color (1 overall color) - $75
Please note that I do live in High Cost of Living Area. Do you think the prices are a bit steep? I thought about dying my own hair from a box but not sure about that?

Re: NTTCALR - For those who color your hair...
Okay....let's see.
Last time I went in. (I live in the Midwest - not a high cost of living)
I got an all over color, highlight and a cut. And it was $110. Which I thought was high. But I pay it, cause it's a great salon.
Hope that helps you decide.

hmmm...my all over color is $55 and a cut is $40.
This is at a nice salon in Sacramento. Of course Sacramento is not as high cost as Santa Cruz I think.
I pay $175 for highlights and cut (includes blow-out) and I am in Dallas (I paid the same in Chicago too).
Looking at everyone else pays is making think I should find a new salon!
I guess I get mine done pretty cheap....dh should see this thread so he'd get off my back about it!
I go to a salon that charges $85 (I think) for cut & color. I've been going to this one girl there since I was a freshman in hs and she had just got her license----her hubby also works w/my hubby so she only charges me $65-$70 for a cut & color. (Multi color---I do dark blond/a couple shades darker than my natural and then light blonde/highlights on top).
My DH is not happy at all with what I pay for my hair service.
Your price is the price I was hoping to pay for the one color and cut. My salon was charging me $125 in the past for cut, mutli color or color and highlights. She just remodeled her shop and changed the price. Now she wants to charge me $180 for cut and multi-color or color and highlights. Or, she wants to charge me $110 for one color (which is a much easier and faster process on her part) and a cut.

That is a good point! My highlights currently are very light compared with the rest of my hair for a more dramatic look.
My hair is the same length as yours. You have awesome hair!
This. I pay 175 for haircut full highlight and blow dry in NJ. farking ridiculous.
I don't dye my hair, but when I lived in Fort Lauderdale, I paid $60 just for a cut and blow out and I only have shoulder length hair. Color went from $60 and up.
Now, I pay like $35 and DH is a much happier person.

That sounds pretty average, especially if you're happy with the results and are confident in your stylist's abilities. I pay $25 for a cut including tip b/c I go to my friend's house to have it done.
I used to get the full multi-color highlights and lowlights, but now I dye all one color at home. I use Clairol Perfect 10 and I'm really happy with it. I always watch the Sunday paper for the ads because every few weeks there's a coupon for it good for a couple bucks off. That way I never pay full price for it (even if it's only $11).
Oh my goodness. I love you girls, and I'm sure your hair is great, but I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE PAY THIS MUCH FOR HAIR!!! Insane. I'm sure you have fabulously colored hair w/o getting it dyed.... I say we all do a hair coloring fast to save money for whatever TTC costs you might have.
Sorry... I know I probably live under a rock. Resume ridiculous spending.
ETA: how often do you have to get it done?
Wow - I pay soooo much for my hair. I live in an extremely high cost of living area though and don't take risks with my hair due to some bad experiences in the past (orange does not equal blonde!).
I pay $140 for a partial highlight, $90 for all over color and I think around $70 for a cut. When I do it all at once and add tips, I pay around $350!
But, I usually spread these things out so I don't have to pay that much all at once. I will NOT be showing DH this thread - he'd have a cow if he realized how much less expensive it could be.
I cut and color (one color) my own hair
