Over-priced haircut. SM

The salon and hairdresser I have been going to for years have raised their prices like crazy over the past year or so. They now charge $60 for a haircut. My hair is short, chin length.

The hairdresser used to spend about 20 minutes doing my hair, what with blowdrying and all, but now, since the price has gone up, she is spending less than five minutes. Clip, clip and done.

Can I ask her if she would lower the price for my haircut or would that be out of line? If not, I am definitively planning on going to another salon. Haircuts around here are not cheap, but $60 for short hair and less than five minutes is insane. If that was what anything was thinking, yes, it is INSANE.

Does a high priced coffee pot
make any difference in the taste of the coffee itself? I am not talking about commercial ones but the ones we can buy for our homes. I have tried this and that coffee and tried another brand this morning. I just keep looking for that really good taste.

How much do you pay for a haircut? SM

I live in a fairly large city and I believe I have been paying way too much.

I don't want to start any battles, but I'm just curious. What is average?

haircut
I pay about $20 for a wash, dry, style plus a tip. I guess it could be worse huh?

Haircut
I pay anywhere from $17-$22 in a small town in Northern Ohio. If you go to one of the chains like Best Cuts, Famous Hair, etc., it runs anyways from $10-$13.

$35 to $40; less if you don't have it blow-dried. For the works (cut, color, highlights), about $150. Toner may be more,depending on the salon. Tip is 20%, & don't forget the shampoo tech.
