Ladies I just had my hair cut, colored and highlights put in. $160.00 Isn't that outrageous?? who in the world can afford that every 5-6 weeks?? I tipped him 20.00 so I paid $180.00 to have hair done!! This is insane. Where in the world do they think women can afford this? And men get their hair cut for $10.00 How fair is that?

Whoo wee, those are downtown/Gold Coast Chicago prices. I spend $95 every 7 weeks for the same services in suburban Chicago. What place was this?

Where is that-I will stay away from there!

Not fair. Too expensive, but those kinds of options and choices and prices are everywhere.

The downside is that this Florida sun fades ALL color big time. I am trying to pass my white hair off as platinum blonde.

I'm glad short hair is so practical in Florida. Mine is very straight so I go to Cal's barbershop for a $14 haircut!

[lanabanana73]

That is why my husband colors my hair!! And, people always compliment me on it, so he must do a good job. God love him!

Cal's Barber Shop in SS is a full service salon. Ask for Dana. She gives an awesome cut, color, and is reasonable.

AMEN to that one!!! PLUS you can find hair-stylists at Cal's! I agree with the original poster that the price was outrageous!! I think that those types of salons try to appeal to folks with a bigger pocket-book...or preceived bigger pocketbooks!!

I color my own hair with Loreal Excellence and go to Victoria Hair for wash, cut, style for $35.

I also use Cal's for a $14.00 hair cut. Do my own color so not too expensive. I'm so busy I don't want to have to spend a lot of time on my hair and shorter is cooler down here.

I don't pay that much at home

[hulahips]

wow maybe I'll give the shop in SS a try!! thanks for tips. I'm from NY and we paid $110.00 for cut, color and highlights and I thought that was HIGH!! But Fla is outrageous. The price I paid is what you'd pay walking into alot of these salons down here, the one in Colony Plaza, the one near Target, and the one I went to outside of villages on 466 called Chadios. My prediction is most of them will be out of business soon. The sun does fade our hair down here so we need it colored every 6 weeks and who has that kind of money in their budget? Of course I was going to a fellow who worked out of his home, had great prices and did a great job but he's out of bussiness because a neighbor reported him. Oh well, five yrs here still can't find a hairdresser.

...to taking the "Going Gray" course offered at the Lifelong Learning College. Not sure I am ready to see that in the mirror, but coloring it here in Florida is a losing proposition.

[RedChariot]

I just had my hair colored, then highlighted, cut and styled by Erica at Victoria's on 466. It was $95. In NJ it used to cost me $125-$135. Gread job.

My wife has long red hair, which is a tough color to do. Also there does not seem to be a lot of long haired ladies around here. We just arrived on Tuesday. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who is good with coloring and cutting long, red hair.

Since I am asking for so much, she is also looking to find a good place for Gel nails.

Dont ask why I am the one here looking for her, but she asked me to. How could I say no to my soul mate.

Happy July 4
