Owethemnowt Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My wife had asked me to take her to the hair dressers. We are new here and don't know anywhere. As a consequence we tried a hairdressers on Woodseats [which I'm prpeared to name] and asked about having the ends cut - wet cut - for my wife. No problem. Take a seat. Time only to turm the pages of a mag before she was done. TWENTY FOUR QUID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Were we done? Is this normal? Is this acceptable? Is this planet earth? We staggered off despite the wallet being so much lighter. I call it theft. What do you call it? If it isn't 'the going rate' for 5 mns work then where else can we go; what can we expect; and, how much? Really annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranza Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Some still do just a trim, they are hard to find though most will charge you for a wet cut even if they just squirt your hair not wash it. I have mine mostly shaved with the clippers and they still charge for a full cut. I go to Dawn's on Wulfric road she charges £7.50 for a ladies trim and it's a drop in place so you don't need to make an appointment just avoid the last couple of days of school holidays she's always full then.

Tomm06 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I go to Wiseguys on townend... I think it's 8 quid...or £7.50, always have a decent laugh so I usually just give him a tenner and let him keep the change. My dad few years ago went down Eccy road for a trim and they said it was £25 quid. But countless girls I've spoke to have paid in excess of £50 quid for hair and such... daft man.

Forumosaurus Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I know girls who pay £60 quid for a hair cut and I can't tell the difference. The huge differences are ridiculous, they all got the same beauty qualification at college. Just go to a cheap one next time, I pay £8. I've seen them as cheap as £3.

Top place for a blokes cut, Tony and Steve are top fellas, but I think this thread was about women's hairdressers! And yes at £24 I think you've been done. It's the price you pay for a top hairstylist cut, but my wife goes to Thingimibobs on Frecheville and has a layered trim for about £6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't 'the going rate' for 5 mns work then where else can we go; what can we expect; and, how much? Really annoyed. That sounds expensive for a 5 minute trim. They charge more if you have it washed whilst you're there of course. You could try taking her with wet hair next time - or wait till it's raining. That should knock a few quid off. I tell you what though, there's a lot dearer places than that. My missus went to one on Eccy road and had a colour. Came to over £100! What price beauty though eh?
