I went to the place across the street from me for the first time, because i was too lazy to go up to the regular place i go to (which ends up to be around 40 dollars after tip)... They charged me 55 before tip, for a wash and cut....... :shock: does that seem like a lot? I dno... I have long hair and really only go to get the damaged hair cut and freshen up my bangs... So i'm not sure if its average.

Granted, everyone in my family said it looked really great when i got home... :D

and the main thing is, bye bye split ends!

    With tip for cut and blow dry, usually $70 - $80. I don't think $55 is bad at all especially if you have long hair.

    I think that is pretty decent. It kills me to get my hair done out here because it is so much cheaper back home... and now my hair feels funny since the last time I got it cut. :? Plus he kept trying to sell me products which drives me nuts :twisted: and he was all about Redken and I don't like their products for me. But I digress yes I think that is good. Any pics?

    $5

    And for the last couple years i would just check out a different $5 haircut joint, every time i got a haircut...

    It was like gambling...

    Sometimes you win...
    Sometimes you lose....

    But i didnt give a fuck....It was only $5...

    But 6 months ago i found a nice young lady who gave me the best haircut i have had in years......So i will keep going to her, as long as she stays in business.....She charges $5..........
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Depends.


    I've been growing my hair out for the last 6 months or so (getting pretty scraggely), but I still get it trimmed from time to time at a local cheap place. $15-20.

    Usually I go to a salon that charges about $50-70, but I've been cheap and letting my awesome hair grow out....

    Funny...

    I got a hair (or 4) trimmed yesterday and posted this on a local board when I got home...

    I've actually posted a 'rave' for this same place in the past... but today I popped in and asked for 'just a trim'. I got just that... I walked in the shop at 4:07 and when I checked the time as I walked on to the sidewalk it was 4:19.

    I had no shampoo, no fluff & dry... no product put in my hair aside from water to wet it... and was in the shop for 12 minutes...

    $27.00! :|

    Yeah... I paid and left a $3 tip ... but I suppose if price was a factor, I should have asked before sitting in the chair... Next time I will ...

    The board mod railed me for not 'contacting the manager of the business with my 'rant'... as it is board rules'... I think I'm just a crappy message board poster ;)

    my boyfriend shaves his head. he promised me he'd grow it out in the fall when its cooler, i just wanna see what it looks like long. he sometimes grows it out... but in the summer usually shaves it all the time.

    he's latin so i always call him thuglife when he does.
