What is the price range for haircuts/color services?

I’m researching salon services in my area and need to budget for an upcoming appointment. Could you please provide a detailed price range for haircuts and color services at your salon? Specifically, I’m interested in costs for basic trims, advanced haircut styles (like layered or textured cuts), and varying levels of coloring services including single-process color, highlights, balayage, or corrective color. Also, do prices differ based on the stylist’s seniority or experience level? I’d like to understand the full scope of pricing to plan my visit effectively.

Haircut Price Ranges:

• Basic Men’s Haircut: $25–$60
• Basic Women’s Haircut (shoulder-length or shorter): $40–$100
• Women’s Haircut (long hair, layering, or styling): $50–$150
• Kids’ Haircut: $15–$40
• Specialty Cuts (razor cuts, texturizing): $60–$180
• Master Stylist/Salon Owner: $80–$250+
• Notes: Prices vary by location (urban areas cost more), salon reputation, and stylist experience. Chains vs. boutiques also impact cost.

Hair Color Service Price Ranges:

• Single-Process Base Color: $60–$150
• Root Touch-Up (same length): $40–$80
• Full Head Highlights: $100–$250
• Partial Highlights (face-framing or mid-lengths): $70–$150
• Balayage/Ombre: $120–$300+
• Color Correction (tone adjustment, lightening): $150–$500+ (time-intensive)
• Double-Process/Bleach & Tone: $150–$400+
• Glaze/Gloss/Treatment: $30–$80
• Notes: Prices depend on hair length/thickness, color technique, product quality, and stylist expertise. Balayage/all-over hand-painted styles cost more than foils. Correction work is priced hourly ($80–$150/hour).

Additional Factors:

• Geographic Variance: High-cost cities (e.g., NYC, LA) charge 50–100% more than rural areas.
• Product Tier: Salons using premium lines (e.g., Olaplex, Wella) add $10–$50+ to services.
• Stylist Level: Junior stylists ($50–$100) vs. master colorists ($150–$350).
• Consultations: Often free, but impact final pricing for complex requests.
• Taxes/Tips: Add 15–25% to service cost.
