Cost of a cut and blow dry?

Reading all these replies, the most surprising thing I have seen is that there are still concessions for pensioners.

£65 Harrogate. I have autoimmune Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and my lovely hairdresser cuts it cleverly to hide it as far as possible (though it’s getting more difficult each visit as it’s been galloping away recently). She is very gentle and sympathetic re the pain of the scarring and I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

If it’s good it’s priceless

I shampoo my hair before I go. The hairdresser wets it, then cuts it. He blows it dry, having put some gel or other on it, then uses a little hairspray. He is really good at cutting, taking his time. It costs £17.00. I keep expecting it to go up, and would willingly pay a little more.

I have just paid £100 for a half head of highlights and a trim In Edinburgh. Its quite a lot but I have curly hair and they specialise in that and it’s a city

£15 for a dry cut here.

I’m in the south and pay £40 for a cut and blow dry and I’m quite happy with that as my hairdresser is good. I don’t have colour.

I pay £50-ish at a local hairdresser. She’s good. But not sure why women’s haircuts seems to cost so much more than men’s

I live in NI and pay £15 for a weekly blow dry. I think it’s worth every penny. When I visited family in London recently my blow dry cost £26. It was costly but saved me flying over with dryer, brushes, straighteners and products and still making a hash of doing my own styling. I don’t smoke , drink or eat out much so it’s my little luxury.

I am in Dorset. I have a mobile hairdresser. I pay £105 for highlights, cut and blow dry. Last year it was £85.

My dry cut is £5.50 for pensioners so I’m happy at that.

As I was due to attend a wedding and wanted a bit of pampering and a different hairstyle, I booked into a local hairdressing salon and had a wash/re-style cut/blow dry which was absolutely lovely and cost £29.00. Well worth the money.

My usual hairdresser that comes to my home gives me a dry cut and costs £10. She is the funniest person and makes me laugh and does a good job. She knows all my family and I have booked my next appointment with her. East Midlands.

I go to a local hairdresser who charges £25 for a cut and blow dry and £40 for highlights. I think I am very lucky! And she has become a good friend.

My hairdresser comes to my house. A dry cut has just gone up to £15. Sussex.

Used to go to Cheltenham for cut and blow dry and half head highlights and cost around £200. Was a huge amount of money but the young woman who did it was amazing very best cut and very best colour I have ever had and also a really lovely person. Unfortunately the salon closed, now I go to a local hairdresser and get a good cut, not great colour for around £130. Cut and blow dry around £65.

During covid I let my colour grow out and it is white, I used to have it coloured every three weeks. Covid made me nervous about leaning backwards over sinks and having people breath on my face. I agreed with my hairdresser that I would wash my hair before I go to her . It is very thin hair. She just damps it with a water spray if she needs to and cuts it and blow dries it. I pay 27.00 and I am in and out in half an hour. I have it cut around once a month but we can both be flexible as nothing is spoiling if I have to wait for five weeks. We did try going for six weeks as a holiday messed up the timing but that meant that the shape needed sharpening up as the cut relies on being fairly precise. I am happy with the white hair and oddly enough it does not look as thin as it did when I coloured it. I love the fact that it only takes half an hour. My hairdresser is lovely and the salon is friendly so I am very happy with the arrangement.

I pay £50-£60 for a cut, colour and blowdry, my hairdresser comes to my home. She does my husband for £10.

Get my hair cut and blow dried every six weeks for £33 and her salon is now in her back garden! No colouring since Covid , gone sort of grey gracefully and saved a fortune !!

I pay £12 for a cut . Wash it myself she comes to my house cuts it then I blow dry it . Brilliant . Disgusting what they charge

My mobile hairdresser charges £15 for a wet cut, I give her a coffee and we have a damn good natter! There is no way I would pay what some of you are paying!

Go elsewhere if you are not happy with her charges. I live in a village and pay £10.00 for a trim every five weeks.

I live near Oxford and pay £28 at a walk-in salon for a wet cut. I wash it before and she wets it with a spray bottle.

I cut my own in a short bob. I would avoid a hairdresser where they change their prices frequently.

I left the Scottish Highlands over 11 years ago, at that time my hairdresser in Inverness was £45 for a cut and blow. Tried others in my local town of Dingwall, were not very good and charged between £25 & £35 so was paying an awful lot more in the Highlands than I do in the East Midlands

My hairdresser shut her salon and is now mobile. For a cut and blow dry and full head of highlights she charges me £50. I wash the colour out while she sits and has a coffee and catches up with on phone! She only lives down the road so it's only the cost of the products and her time but I feel really lucky with the arrangement.
