Really needed a haircut, decided to take a chance and go to the new local salon. $39 later I had the haircut I'd been looking for, for ages.... very happy bunny!!!!!!

Had to share this one.. have now learnt, always look at the hair of the stylist who`s doing your hair before sitting in the chair...Went to I think it was called a hairdressers at the parade of shops by the ettamoggah pub..asked for trim following the same style.. Not a hard request.... result.. the stylist...obviously was a gardener in previous life.. out came strimmer, hair crap... Went back to complain couple days later.. Got boss woman long hair, extensions, multicoloured... slightly worried
Mistakenly thought she would be sympathetic her business and all.. Oh no... after very polite request and explanation was begrudgingly sat back down in the chair by boss woman and strimmed again..despite having own photo of hairstyle.. WTF. :Ended up being told what an astute business woman she was by her own admission and threatened with security to get out of premises... :scared
Am 5.4) I did note with a huge degree of satisfaction her business went up for sale shortly after. 
...An astute professional business woman

Re: Haircuts- what are you paying?
Hi,
I used to pay £56 in the UK for a cut and now pay $70 in Toni and Guy in Subiaco. I tryed going to a cheaper one near where I live, $45 for a cut and blow dry, but I looked hacked. I've got really thick hair and I've tryed millions of times to find a cheap good hairdresser. Always end up at Toni & Guy or equivalent - you get what you pay for unfortunately! :scared:

Re: Haircuts- what are you paying?
My OH tells me that Just Cuts is annoying how they deliberately drench your hair with water before cutting, and then ask if you want it blow-dried. Of course, blow drying costs an extra $6 or so.
Where I live, women are hardly about to walk out into the Shopping Centre or street looking like a drowned rat – most people will pay for the blow dry- and the hairdresser knows this – hence the overuse of the water bottle.
The way they try and flog off their products is annoying too. As if I’m going to pay $15 for same re-branded shampoo that I can get at Woolies for $5.

OH paid $60 for a 1 inch trim recently, that only took ½ hour. Doctors get paid less. Who do these hairdressers think they are?
What are you paying? And Is it just me or is everything going UP and UP?
Today I saw rockmelon at the supermarket - 1 half for $3. Funny that, I was down at wollongong over the w/end and a fruitmarket was selling 3 whole ones for $2. I know fruitmarkets are cheaper, but that's just ridiculous.
