@granddi  Shampoo, rinse, cut, dry and style all the same price.  I believe if the stylist does extensive use of a curling iron or other tool, there may be a fee but ask the stylist.

When I go in for a blow out, the charge includes wash/condition/blow dry.  I have thick curly hair, if I want it flat ironed that is an extra charge.

@Iwantcoffee   I really don't know.  I know it was a question that was listed on my Cosmologology state board exam.  It is a requirement for sure, but I don't know the reasoning.

I can't guarantee it's required in Arizona, but I do know that many salons did not follow the correct sanitation or other laws required

 

Salons do get inspected, but not often unless there is a complaint.  In the 35 years, I have owned a salon, I was only inspected once since the initial inspection when I first opened.

 

There were no infractions, but the inspector counted every towel in the cupboards and hampers to make sure the salon had the minimum requirement for a five chair salon.

 

That inspection had to be at least 25 years ago...no one has been back to inspect since.

 

I would imagine if no one inspects, anything goes.

 

I have seen poor sanitation in many salons....especially in the mani/pedi areas.

I am so glad I went to beauty school in 1969 and have done my own hair since then. I would be in sticker stock if I had to spend that much.

My hairstyle is an easy cut - shoulder length bob with a few long layers.  I get it cut dry with nothing else done to it.  $20.00 plus 20% tip = $24.00I color my own grey so I don't have any coloring expense either.

Does the price of your hair cut include styling other than a brush blow dry? Does the price include using any tools such as curling iron or flat iron?

 

 


The salon I go to everything is separate. Cut is separate. If you add a blow dry it is an additional amount, so is a curling iron. It is difficult to find a private salon (not a chain) that doesn't usually cost at least $100.00 with tip for everything. I think it is dependent upon where you live.

Re: Price of your hair cut include.............

I've been incredibly lucky since I retired 13 years ago. I stopped coloring my hair shorty after retirement and now have a healthy head of hair that is half way down my back.  My niece is a talented stylist but she's eight hours away.  She cuts my hair about 3-4 times annually and charges a family rate of $20 but I always tip her $50 (she is a genius).  If I feel the need to trim read ends I part my hair down the middle while it's wet, take all hair on one side and twist it all the way down to ends, cut off 1/2 " and do the other side.  It's always perfect!  I used to spend $130 every 6 weeks, so now I have plenty on my hair.

My haircut includes, shampoo, conditioning, cut, blowdry and styling. My hair is curly so I don't require much blowdry, just to soften the gel.
