Oh this is a funny topic, it makes me chuckle. We are forever looking for the perfect cut, then the styles change if we do find it. I used to go every three weeks, then retired and only work part time so I now go 4 weeks between, and color every other time. Cut is $16, cut and color I think is about $60, but I only do a full head of high lights not a full color. I think it blends better with my hair color and grey. haha Oh tip is extra on top. I have that thin limp hair, and only like the feel right after the color it plumps up a little.
