I recently saw a hairdresser who charges by the hour, and not by the service. Originally this concept was pretty interesting to me, as I've been to other salons where I'm shocked by the price at the end of the appointment. As someone in a particular age bracket I normally have to color my hair to cover silver highlights, so this seemed like a cost effective way. Plus, you always "knew" how much the appointment would be. I remember years ago going to a salon for a color correction when I attempted to go dark on my own. Both the stylist and I were shocked at the price when she finished adding in all of the costs.
Anyways, just today this hairdresser listed she had a one hour opening today, which would be a wash and cut. And I realized she is charging over $100 for a wash and cut. She is not a high-end hairdresser working for herself out of a Gallery Salons. If you are not familiar Gallery Salons are large buildings with a variety of independent salons with their own "room" with a sink normally. There is a shared bathroom down the hall.
