dont you think that beauty shop prices have gotten outragious?

..no one will cut my hair or less than $60....I love to keep them long anyway.....but I have to agree prices are crazy...you can not have color done for less than $120 in Chicago.....

I usually buy "Pantene or Garnier Products", these two products are the only two products that will work my hair and bring out the best results, others I dont even bother with, they tend to stuff my hair up and make it feel straggly.They also work well and cost less.

I honestly wouldn't know - I haven't been to one in over 20 years. Paid $75 for a perm back then and the next day you couldn't tell I had gotten one - and I didn't do anything to cause it to fall. For under $10 and a couple hours I can do it myself. Also for under $5 can color my own - I love Nice & Easy :)

It's at least $60 in the city I live in but my mother says it doesn't cost that much where she lives. So I don't know why, I really want to get my hair highlighted but don't want to pay that much money, plus I'd have to keep going in for roots.

I think you are more or less payin for the labor and the talk with the hair stylist. I do not think the hair color costs that much, but the hair stylist has to pay for all their supplies, plus renting the space in the salon.
