The rising cost of getting your hair done

[HRx]

I just lived in downtown Cleveland for a while, and there was this whole in the wall shop with a great ole barber and you could gut a cut and a shave (with a straight razor)...it really is a great experience.

Hell the barbershop that I've been going to for the last three years, cut hair, and shave, or trim your facial hair with a straight razor for $13.00 These guys are talented barbers, they're actually more like artists...to be honest.

I went to a barber when I had my hair cut into a pixie three years ago, it was cheap and wonderful...and then I dyed it up myself...but that's okay when your hairs 2-3" long....growing it out s*cks....but you're absolutely right!

I believe I'm going to try at home streaking/highlights for a change.

How about having hair fall out in patches??

I had been getting my hair colored ash blonde, about my regular color, since beginning to gray several years ago. Same salon, same master stylist, but a year ago he tried a just released product on me designed for "aging" hair...loved the color, texture, highlights ---but lost quarter sized patches at the crown on the side I usually part and all of the top back. I did a "comb over" thing and parted my hair on the other side for almost this whole year. It has grown out long enough to reassure me it was a temporary thing, but I wear my hair shoulder length and hadn't intended to do the old lady thing and go short! I am letting it go natural, and am getting used to the look. It has grown back in with a mix of dark blonde and silver, so I might like it.

The only good thing --- my girls and I have been getting free cuts all year from the stylist, which I certainly need with the BK!

And I told my brother I will never laugh at his comb over attempts again....

When my stylist suggested highlights the first question out of my mouth was "how much does it cost?" She said $75 and I said "No thanks". If you have something done and don't ask how much it costs it's not the salon's fault when the bill comes.

I always tip $5, these people work for tips you know.

CAREFUL AMISLANDER!!!!!!!!! hee hee~
I just wanted to tell you about the experince that we've had in our salon, just yesterday~
One of the gals that is a stylist has let the owner of the salon highlight and color her hair~ well, yesterday was the day that the owner TOTALLY screwed up the stylists hair~ I have spent all day today trying to "fix" the "unfixable" .... it has just broken my heart, because I LOVE the owner, and this sweet young stylist to the salon~
There really is not much we can do at this point to fix it~she'll have to cut it completely OFF and start over in order for there to be a solution~ and this is from licensed stylists who have been licensed for many many years with tons of experience, but it just takes one Boo boo....and it's OVER~
I am just sick at my stomach for her, because she is a beautiful girl~ beautiful......but now there is termoil in the salon~ not good~ not good at all~

I know exactly what you're saying...since my hair is brunette, I'll be just sticking with the shades a bit lighter than my shade...
