1. Every 6 months or so for a haircut/trim depending on if I’m changing it up or not. $55 + tip

2. Less than once a year on average; I go to get my hair cut; cost is anywhere between $75-$300 depending on what I want done.

3. Twice a year for a haircut. Cost is $85 USD before tip.

4. 2X a year for a cut usually and spend between $30-$60 depending on which salon I use. I go to the Aveda Institute once a year and they only charge $20, no tipping allowed so I donate $10 to their scholarship fund. If I go to salon the cut is often around $45-$50 and I tip 20%

5. Once, MAYBE twice a year for a haircut. Costs me about $50 each time.

6. April, August, December. I just get the split ends fixed with a quick cut. She charges around 300 Danish Kroner. She’s on the higher end but I have so much distrust in hairdressers due to two bad experiences so now that I’ve found this one that I 100% trust, I am willing to pay whatever she asks for.

7. Typically every 4-6 months depending on my mood and levels of self consciousness lol

   Depending on what all I have done anywhere from $75 to $275

8. Not often enough! My regular one, became unable to work, I’m fussy about who cuts hair… Had too many bad ones.

9. About once a year for split ends trim, it costs around €10

10. Once a year, cut to bob neck length, $20 + tip

11. Every 8-10 weeks for a cut (about one inch off all over and reshaping my bangs). I spend $40 for the cut, that does not include tip

12. I used to do it about once a year because highlights and a cut for my curly hair would be approx $260+ at a salon. I’ve been growing out my natural color for over a year and I now see my childhood hairdresser a few times a year, she doesn’t charge more than $25 for a cut.

13. I get my roots and color touched up / toned and a cut about every 8 weeks. Costs about $200 each time.

14. Okay so I’ve always gone quarterly and before I used to spend $60 for cut and blowdry. Now I pay ~200 but I get color too. I don’t trust myself to color my own hair

15. I have a pixie cut so I go every 6 weeks or so for a trim. I can stretch it out to 8 weeks but by then it’s pretty shaggy. $80 including tip.

16. Once a year for a cut, sometimes a moisturizing treatment if it’s too damaged. Last visit was R$180 ($40-ish) at a nice place.

17. 3x a year and 50 euro max per visit. If I could cut my hair in my home country even better because it costs at least half

18. I have a pixie cut so I need to go get it cleaned up every 4-5 weeks. Every other visit, I get it colored.

    Trim: $50

    Cut and color: $200

    That’s before tip and taxes. So with product, I average out to about $150/month for my hair.

19. Highlights and a trim every 3-4months $300 plus tip.

20. Every 2-3 months, ~$25 for a cut at a barber shop

21. Usually once a year to have the ends trimmed

    It costs about $40 and lunch bc it’s my SIL.

22. Every other month for a haircut, root dye and toning, which is about $170 (no tip, not a thing where I live). I also spend about $60 on train tickets each time as my hairdresser is 3 hours away.

23. I used to go about every three years to have it cut to donate and it would be about $20. They don’t want hair anymore so now it’s just really long. When the ends get bad I’ll just have my husband give it a little snip and even it up.

24. Never. I don’t trust a soul with the care/maintenance of my hair

    I do my own treatments, trims, styles etc.

    I spend more money on conditioner than anything cuz she thicc

25. I haven’t been to a salon in about a decade.

26. Every 6 weeks 😫 to get my roots done for the greys. $87 + tip.

27. Every 6 to 8 weeks…approx $150 a visit

28. Never, nothing, $0.

29. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I went to a salon to get my hair cut it was about 4 or 5 years ago I think it was to get tape extensions put in.
