i think im geting ripped off
So I was just wondering if any of you( particularly the ladies) think that I am getting ripped off.
If you can see my picture, you will see that I have very long hair . So for the Hosp Christmas party coming up, I thaught I might get my hair curled. You know, nothing particularly special , just some loose curls and maybe a little up do .. just to make me a little different from how I normally dress when at work.
I get to the hairdressers to make my appt and because of the lenghth of my hair, I am told that I will need to wash and dry it the night before. Ok fine, I can understand that
Then I tell her what I want done... she tells me it will cost between $65-$85.00 ! for a few curls and not even washing and drying it??
WHAT?????????????????
Is this normal? dont get my hair done every day.. whatcha think?

Re: i think im geting ripped off
Is this your normal hairdresser? What do they charge for just a cut.
Big range in prices depending on how swanky the salon I guess.
You could always get a $10 buzz cut...that would make an impression...

Re: i think im geting ripped off
Hi,
I know you are only having your hair curled and put up but it can take a very long time.
A lady was having this done when I was at the hairdressers in England and it took about 1.5 hours.
She did look fabulous when they'd finished though

Re: i think im geting ripped off
I'd agree that it isn't too bad a price. If they curl it using tongues or a straightening iron (yes guys you can curl with a flat iron) it will take a long time - then pinning it up to finish.
My sis in law is a hairdresser and did the same thing last week for someone with hair your length for a bridal shower, and it took her 3 hours (though she does have her own salon and can chat for England / Canada!!!)
I'd say splash out you have beautiful long hair and it would look stunning

Re: i think im geting ripped off
I think that's probably about right - why not call a few salons and ask what they charge for updo's. I know one salon locally was doing a promotion for half price updo's at $40.
