Hairdresser Woes (Time and Price)

[chrini]

My stylist recently went up $5 on all of her services. She used some excuse about high gas prices and etc. She used to charge $35 for shampoo and style. Now it is $40. Before the price hike I paid $80 for a deep conditioner and spiral set. For future spiral sets I will just use the products she use on my hair and set it myself. Those products contain little to no alchohol really make a difference on how your hair comes out if you do it yourself. I mainly go to her because she can color hair and make it look like your natural hair color. She uses the tubes and not a box. $85 for highlights and $70 for a single all over color application. This should have went in the other thread, but she leases from a non - AA owned salon. I heard her tell a non - AA client that she charges $150 and up just to glue in bonded tracks. I was thinking to myself I don't think so. I got hair sewn in for a few dollars more.
