We are being taken advantage of.
There ARE some good stylists in TV......if you want to pay the price. I think what irks me most about living here is that I feel taken advantage of when getting my hair done. I think the prices are most outrageous! I have mentioned before that my stylist in NY charged 18.00 for a cut, wash and blow dry. If I got color (I always use a cap for my highlights) it was 60.00 including tip!!!! Its the best cut and color I've ever had. Then I came down here, paid 150.00 for the same service, except it wasn't nearly as good of a job. Why do you think they can get the high prices here??? I'm sure they aren't paying so much more for product to charge that much. And the glass of wine of bottle of water shouldn't warrant that price. I guess it's because it's The Villages? I go in with an attitude because I know I'm being over charged but I know I need my hair cut. I have been through 3 hair dressers in the past year and am on my fourth. She does a pretty good job, not exactly what I want but I guess it will,have to do. She charges 40+tip. Needless to say I will probably never get another color here. I will get it once a year when I visit back home. Sorry for my rant but salons here strike a sour note with me.
