£250 for a haircut, christ it's not a tonsorialist she needs but a psychiatrist.

my grandad taught me one thing that has served me well in life, and here it is:

"never buy anything for more than twenty quid that you wont be able to get at least twenty years of use out of. or a really good shag".

and, lo, it was so.

so... you do the maths? investment/ loss leader?

My mate's missus spent all morning in a hairdressers in Canary Wharf and got rid of 100 sheets in the process.

She walked up the escalators to the DLR platforms where there was a bit of a gale blowing. To be honest you couldn't tell that she'd had her hair cut at all after the wind had done its damage.

At least when I have my hair cut it looks different to when I went in no matter what conditions are prevailing outside.

Just out of interest my bro gets his barnet cut in Mayfair for £12 (it does look sh1t though)

You spend more on getting your pubes styled than your head-hair?!

£100 in Cambridge for cut and colour, but that is the best salon!
£10 in the worst but then you have to wear a hat to hide the results

£500 at Nikki Clarke around the corner from me allegedly - or £1k if it's short notice!!!!!

My mrs pays about £70 all in I think. I paid £7.50 for my last cut - which was a bargain for the perving time it allowed me

I'd say that this is very steep though as even Totally and Gay don't seem to charge these sort of prices

Might suggest that this figure includes the necessary pre-treatment coffee, followed by lunch and the new pair of shoes as she will obviously get one pair dirty whilst going to and from the shops.

It's not just about the haircut, going to the hairdressers is a very different experience for a woman, putting your hair in the hands of someone you trust and loving the way it's cut, can totally change the way you feel.

But, if you're going to pay Knightsbridge prices, and it's been a while since I did, then I'd go to Olofsons (if it's still on the Brompton Road) and not Vidal.

Seems excessive although I suppose if you have it all done at once!

Mine is £40 for a cut
£85 for trim and highlights.

Depends on how many colours she has. I had four. I suppose if they also charge for each drink and biscuit plus conditioner any pre/post treatments. Long hair costs more too!

Must admit that I have found that you do get what you pay for.
I reckon top flight Central Manchester ie Andrew Collinge costs about £150 to £200 so if she is going into London it will be more.

Remember she will need lunch!

Also you will benefit from her feeling good about herself!!!!!!!!!!
Just don't mess her hair up.

Cut £35, dye (roots semi-permanent and highlights) £50. £85 total. Not bad considering the fact that all that can take up to three hours to do. Good job they have quality magazines like 'Vogue' and 'Tatler' to read.
