Lori, I’m the same way. I’d much rather spend my money on Olivia. Not that I want to look bad. I’ll definitely seek the cheaper path though. I wish I did look fan-freaking-tastic. It would make it let painful. Oh well.

Wow Lisa! You must look fan-freaking-tastic!!! I used to go to a very upscale place in West Bloomfield Hills that didn’t even charge THAT much for cut/shampoo/style plus all-over color, highlights and lowlights. They even dyed my brows & lashes to match for less then that.

…sigh….now I think about spending $35 on just a cut and style and I wince. Has motherhood made me cheap? Nah..I’d just rather spend the remaining $100+ on stuff for my baby boy!

Oooh, I’d love to come visit Holly. Maybe this summer. Olivia would love to meet Kaden and Andrew.

I totally didn’t even know about Britney until late yesterday. Yikes. Now, I wonder how much that hairdresser charged.

I get a cut and foils (two colors) done about every 7 weeks. $110 including the $40 shampoo and conditioner I have decided I cannot live without. That is DARN pricey in my book but what you paid outrageous! Yes, your husband deserves a raise 😉

That is totally outrageous. This is why I cut my own hair. I am tempted to color mine as well, but I have never done it myself.

I guess that going to college was a waste of time for me b/c I have NEVER been paid 180$ for 2 hours (minus expenses.) Perhaps I should chanfe my line of work to hairdresser.

Lisa, that’s insane. I don’t understand what makes people think they can provide services like that without letting you know up front that the price is probably higher than you were expecting. The same thing happened to my husband and I with our taxes this year. Our tax guy, whom we considered a friend, decided to up the rates $100 this year, without even so much as a warning. $300 for fairly simple taxes is ridiculous. I take it as an expensive lesson learned. Always ask before, even if it’s a friend, then there are no surprises.

That’s absurd Lisa. I assume you are talking about a Fantastic Sam’s type of place? Yikes.Looking good is damned expensive!

I do my own color (with pro color provided by my SIL who is a stylist..) and I also do my own waxing, saving beaucoup bucks!

I pay $35 for a cut and style here in Kona Hawaii where everything is pricey. I paid $15 yesterday for my son to get his cut. My other son is “growing out” and looks rather rock and roll, so I figure I save there.

But $180 is positively shocking. I think she overcharged you for the highlights, that should have been half that. Did you ask to speak to the salon manager? In any event at a cheapie salon like that they should have the rates posted so you aren’t taken by surprise again.

I think you should just collect what Onyx sheds and make yourself a black wig.
