Bob's hair
So I decided to get a real haircut. By real, I mean expensive. When I booked the haircut, I decided I might as well get a real colour job as well. And then I suggested I get highlights as well. So I booked the hair stuff for Thursday and grabbed a brochure on the way out.
When I got home, I flipped through the prices.
Haircut :Starts at $48 (no problem-it was what I expected)
Color: Starts at $70 (ouch!)
Highlights: $130 (um... what?)
So, with tip, I'm looking at 1/2 a months' rent for my hair?
I think I'll just go with the cut. I mean, my hair will never look $300 worth of fantastic.

I spent $160 this summer on my perm and all the accessories to go with it (product and hair dryer) and my hair basically looks the same as before.
I think a good haircut and some de-frizzer serum is just fine.
Paper bags are cheap.
I'd be happy to colour your hair for just half of that.
And, once you start, you have to keep going back for touch-ups. It's an endless cycle.
So I bought some expensive hair dye ($22) and I'll phone to cancel the dye job.
I may add eyebrow pluckage instead. Those haven't been touched in over a year.
Nothing is more important than a good cut.
I think the choices are $70 or $130 - not $70 + $130. Around here $130 would get you a full head foil, which is the most natural looking color.
I thought you were a natural blonde?
Have fun! I don't know if I could sit in a chair for long enough to get a cut and colour.
I actually need to get a cut.
LOL @ zombie
Swami, I am currently much blonder than natural. It happened a little accidently, but it's kinda fun.
I may tone it down a bit.
I'm with you, Bob. A good haircut is worth it. Color? It fades and frankly, I've been disappointed the two times I've had color and highlights done.
I'm happy using my boxes. I used my usual Feria multi-tonal box plus Garnier Color Breaks highlighting last time. I liked it, but I need another practice shot with the highlighting kit. A few got too chunky. The looked really natural, which I liked.
Thank goodness I live in a small town. A haircut, color and highlights runs me about $70 total!
Has anyone ever heard that if your hairstylist owns the shop you shouldn't tip them? I always do but I read that somewhere.
Lightsy, I have heard that. But I always tip her. Always.
And her daughter washes my hair and does eyebrows. I tip her well as well.
The cost is one of the main reasons I don't want to cut my hair in January. But it is for a great cause, so snip, snip, snip.
I'll cut your hair, boo. *makes devilish scissor motion*
