Last time DD and I went it was about $30 apiece. She was not too crazy about her cut, but I got the best cut I ever had. This was a place with real, professional stylists who have been in the business long enough to be quite experienced. Not fancy-schmancy, just very good at what they do.

She's famous for Meg Ryan's shag cut years ago.
The most I ever spent was at Frederic Fekkai.
It was a lot of shekels. A lot.
But it was also the best haircut I've ever had, and the cut was so good it lasted for months. ;-)
But those are NYC prices.
But I've also had it cut and highlighted for $100 in NYC.
Go figure. <shrug>

I wore my hair long most of my adult life so only got a cut every year, give or take. I found a salon where I pay $38 for a cut and $50 for a cut and blow-out. I have slowly let her cut it shorter and shorter and have layers for the first time in 30 year. A great cut and appropriate for the type of hair I have (fine and naturaly curly). I figure I saved enough money over the years to splurge now. By the way, that goes for shoes and clothes, too:)

Gaga, I live in your neck of the woods, and I usually pay $15 and a tip. I figure that's about max for me. I usually have trouble getting a good haircut, also - always have. But if it's done badly, I don't go back there.

The place we have gone to for years only charges $8.00 for cuts. I always give her $10. My hair cuts are very simple and don't take more than 15 minutes at the most. I color my own hair though. DD gets a perm at the same place and I think she pays about $30 for it. DD has very long and thick hair also.

After we moved here I spent 7 years looking for someone who could cut my difficult hair correctly.
I finally found someone in 2005! Before I started coloring it, it cost $45 for a wash, cut & style every 4 weeks. With the coloring, I now pay $85 every 4 weeks for color, wash, cut & style.
And worth every penny to get a great haircut! :)

I do them all! (Yes, even my own). I've done my own since I was went to cosmetology school. I did have someone cut my LONG hair off when I had it done on TV and donated to Locks of Love, but even that was free.
I think the price you pay for having someone to do your hair just the way you like it especially being thick and wavy may be high for some, but if you like the results that is what counts. Thick, wavy hair is not easy to cut and lay right.

Me too! I've cut my own hair and my husband's for over 30 years. Hair color costs me about $8 (Nice & Easy) about once a month. When my kids were home I cut thier hair on Thursday evening, the boys brought thier friends too. I saved a bunch doing my family's haircuts (the dogs too)!

$40 for the cut, its a good one and it lasts about 8 weeks. I have oddly wavy hair (its different textured in different areas) and the good cut saves me a lot of time styling and it looks nice and flatters me.
I started letting her color it too rather than doing it myself, so its an additional $60, so I pay $100 total. She waxes my eyebrows for free.
