Well, Louisa you must be super pampered at that price!

After I paid for my wonderful hair job, I realized I couldn't justify spending more money on fashion deals post-Boxing Day for next few months. It's ok...my side of the closet is a serious problem of clothing congestion.

The hairstylist actually cut my hair initially in a edgier style where it was asymmetrical with left side about 4 inches longer than the right side at the front of my face. It did look more hip...but I just couldn't maintain this chic style beyond 3 weeks since my hair grows fast.

So in the end, I got my latest haircut....quite short all around with layers. My ears show completely. I just have to use a tiny bit of molding hair wax to have hair swept in a edgier direction / sweep to one side.

Length of hair should hold me out for next 4 months hopefully. At least I can wear and show all sorts of earring styles.

No, I've never coloured my hair --yet.

My hairdresser is about the only "sacred cow" I have - I hope that isn't a demeaning term, I heard it on Oprah and Dr Phil when they've had shows on finances. I'm willing to give up everything and everyone else, but not my hairdresser. I have unruly, unmanageable curly hair and could never find a hairdresser who knew how to cut it properly; most left me with such ugly wing-dings that I felt like I had a bad hair day almost every day of my life - until I met my Donka. She's amazing. I've been going to her for almost 10 years now and you could not pay me enough to leave her for another hairdresser. She loves me. She really loves me. She's the only person on the face of the earth (including myself) who knows how to make me look and feel beautiful. Plus she gives me a wonderful head massage and enjoys hearing about my travels, which very few people ever want to hear about.

The cost? With colour, massage, trim, listening and hugs (and a generous tip) - $100. Which means I can only afford to go a few times a year, but she does such an amazing job that my hair still looks great 3 months later, so she's well worth the price! And after a lifetime of wings and dents, I'm so grateful for finding her - I consider her a miraculous gift from God.

I live in a small town...have a great stylist...$55 for cut and color...there are pricer places around...but I'm very happy with her...and after seeing some of these prices...I think I'll give her a nice tip next trip!

Yes, Dancer9, he is very good and they are nice people. I'm extremely fussy about my hair, although after about 4 weeks you'd never know that. I have always done stuff to my hair. When I was a teenager, I was always giving myself haircuts. (That was not my forte) With thick hair and the bubble cut, I could cut it any which way and it didn't seem to matter. (I still do it now and then in between when it gets too long. I let him fix it when I get there.) But, I started sticking a comb in peroxide and running it through my hair and telling my mother it was from the sun when I was about 13. (Like she believed that one.) Then New Dawn came out and I started using that. I had light brown hair that started getting lighter. From there I went to Clairol and whatever. Started doing "home perms." Remember Toni, Lilt, and Rave? In my late teens, started frosting it. I had a girlfriend who went to hairdressing school and she did it for me.

Over the years, I did it red, went back to a darker brown, since it was getting darker as I got older anyway. I eventually learned about salon perms and started using them. I did perms on my mother, little sister, sister-in-law and a few other daring people. I only do myself now. It's not easy, but my hair is thick and I do it mostly by brail. It's getting harder to hold my arms up for that long to roll it now.

I wore it frosted for a long time, especially after my divorce and then it got to be such a pain. (I often frosted it myself too, but had some serious mishaps with that.) I finally went all blonde. The way i see it, my hairdresser said it would look better on me and I had blonde hair when I was a little girl. So I consider it that I have gone back to my "natural" state.

Oh my gosh - my hairdresser closed her shop over a year ago and I was lost. She charged $27 for a shampoo and cut. After going back to another gal I went to years ago (charged me $60 for the same thing!) I decided to try a local haircut chain - Cost Cutters. My theory has always been - do what you want with it - you are the expert - and if I don't like it - it will always grow back - no worries!

Well - my Cost Cutters gal - Marie - charges $11 on Tuesdays (special sale day every week) and I just LOVE how she cuts my hair. Yep - I shampoo my own before going - Nope - she doesn't style it for that price - but I feel like she does a better job than anyone else ever did - and her price leaves room for a very good tip for her pocket!

Hello, my name is Jaw Jaw and I got a haircut two times at Wally World. There...I've said it. The first one was a perfect cut and I bowed at the girl's feet. With a coupon, it cost me 5 bucks. The second one, years later, was right before I left for Ireland. NOW...understand that I thought (and we know how dangerous that is) that I was saving money for Ireland by going to Wally World. NEVER...NEVER....EVER, do that. I looked very lopsided and had to walk with a limp for nearly 17 days just to make the sides look even.

Holy Moly....never again.

True confessions! In Missouri, I had the same hairdresser for 6 years, from the time I moved there to the time I left. We had the best time together! The cost? $16.00. Always a cute cut, well, as best as anyone can do. One time during the 6 years she was on vacation (how rude) and I was desperate for a hair cut, so I went to another salon, and cheated on my one true hairdresser, and the affair with the other hairdresser was a disaster. I would try Cost Cutters but I am afraid they are all just out of school. JJ, you are so funny.
