$350 gone in 2 hours...

Where do you choose to go when you are cutting your hair? Do you go to those home operated hair salon, hair salons in neighbourhood areas, hair salons in shopping centers for your hair cut? On average, how much do you spend for a hair cut? $10? $20? $30? or more? I know typically, guys will spend an average of $10 - $30 for a haircut. Anything more than that will be considered as expensive. Ladies usually spend a bit more than that, anything ranging from $20 onwards. If they do additional stuff to their hair like rebonding, perming, ceramic perm and etc, it will easily cost hundreds.

What is so different about where you get your haircut? Why does it cost so different if you get your haircut at neighbourhood areas or shopping center? It can be something to do with the experience of the hair stylist, the location and etc.

All along, the most expensive haircut I have cost me around $40+. If I add in rebonding, the most that I have ever paid before is around $200+ I think. I broke my record today... I had my hair cut at this hair salon in Ngee Ann City which was recommended by my colleague who has lovely hair... I spent $350 to do a rebonding and hair cut... My rebonding cost $250 and haircut alone cost $65! Very expensive, but I quite like my hair. I think I look younger in this hair. :D Describing the place as hair salon may not even be the correct word to use. Beauty Salon may probably be a better word to use since while I was there, I noticed that you can actually get your nails done there too. I know my colleague has her eyebrows trimmed there too.

That place is high class de lor... There's even a tiny tv at each seat to keep you occupied while you are cutting, dyeing, rebonding, perming or doing treatment for your hair. You can select the channel that you want but I did not explore it further. You are given a choice of coffee, tea or plain water to drink too when most places either offer you water or tea. No wonder it cost so much to do my hair there...

I kind of like the hair stylist so I guess I will be visiting her every few months to cut my hair. She say I can give her an sms and go back if I want to trim my fringe. I am trying to psycho myself that $65 a haircut will be able to last me for 3 months which works out to be $20 a month... At most I eat less, spend less... lol... See how lah... :P
