Two years ago I was paying $160 for cut and color.  Not including tip.  I'm sure prices have gone up.  I didn't like how my color was coming out so I do it myself now.  I go to Supercuts once in a while for a trim.  Used to be $15 at Supercuts, now it's $25.

$60 Root color....$25 pull through...$60 Haircut....IF I am doing this package then the blow out is included.  Otherwise there would be a separate charge to have my hair styled (dried) of $25.

Tip is whatever I can manage....$15 to $20.  They raised prices last year and so far haven't this year.  I am hoping they don't do any more increases.

I have begun to go in at 6wks instead of 4wks...I am doing my own root touch up to make it last that long.  I will practice doing the ends pull through with demi permanent color myself soon as a way to keep going to this salon.

I really like it there and the young gal who I see is really awesome.

When my husband was still employed I could easily pay $50-60 per cut

now that husband is retired I found a lovely lady who takes care of both our haircuts for $30.00 plus $10 tip for both cuts. We are super pleased with her hair cuts and she is such a wonderful caring hair cut person. Her sister is also a stylist so they own thier own salon and we go to them at that salon in town.

I've been going to the same gal for 25+ years, for a haircut, wash and blow dry she charges $37.00 plus the tip I give her.

Wow, after reading some of the prices I feel lucky !  I pay $18 at Great Clips and I always add a tip for a final price of $23. Been going to Great Clips for years.

@Goodie2shoes  -  Does 18.00 include a wash and blow dry or is this a dry cut only?

For no more than a cut I'm about ready to relegate myself to Hair Cuttery. My 'local' woman now wants eighty bucks for a shampoo, cut and blow dry. My hair is on the short side and I live close enough by that I could shampoo myself and my hair would still be wet upon arrival. Could care less about the blow dry, but it's all a package deal. If I had longer hair that required signifiant time styling, it would be different, and while I guess these days eighty isn't egregious, she'll only get my business a few times a year when I've let my hair grow out a bit more than ususal. Of course, charges for coloring are altogether off the charts, so won't be going to her for that anymore.

@SandGirl  I pay $40 for a wash and cut.  She would also blow dry my hair,  but I never let anyone do that.  I have always done it.  It is in a residential area in the northern burbs of Chicago,  and my cutter rents the space.

I pay 80.00 for cut, blow out and color. I've been going to him for 40+ yrs. He has a shop in his home and it's been great. If he totally retires i would consider super cuts or we have a Paul Mitchell or Aveda Beauty school, i would try. I am nervous because of my color, but he would give me my "recipe".

I've been going to the same place for over 20 years, its just a small salon in my small home town. Since I have long hair they always chage an extra $10 for extra time which has always been fine.

They have online booking, I went to book my appt today and all the prices have been raised. Haircut is now 75.00 and the extra charge for long hair is  now 20.00 so, 95.00 before tip!! So glad I don't have gray hair yet so I don't color buy OH MY 95.00 plus tax and tip will be well over 115-120 just to get my haircut.

I did not book yet, I need to think this over, on a fixed income this is just too much.  I looked at prices elsewhere and they seem to have all gone up.  I didn't mind paying 65ish but this 95++ feels like its too much.

I'm curious, what do you all pay for a cut? 

I wanted to add, my hair is long, its just a basic trimming of the ends and keeping a little framing around the face area, nothing fancy or hard, shoot I've even thought about asking my husband do to the trim and I can do the framing. LOL

 It's difficult to keep any B&M business going, but in SoCal even a small square footage shop can be very costly.   

My long time stylist went from $40 to $75 for a cut, NO blow dry.  I tried a friend's hairdresser and was charged $35. 

I wash my hair and go to the salon with it clipped and still damp.  No blow out.

There's a business here called Drybar that gives "premium blow dry styling".   Washing yoru hair costs extra. A couple years ago, it was $45 just for the blowout!  I never went, but noticed that it's a franchise. 

Today I looked at their website and their blowouts are now $55 to $70!   They have other services and many products for sale.  

Suggestion .... look for another stylist and call for prices.  Ask friends for refererals and see who they recommend. 

Maybe you need to go to a salon a bit farther away, but I'd never pay $100 for just a "trim".
