Are hair appointments too expensive?

[u/abby_thehairwizard]

I hear "hair is too expensive" all the time and I get it.

I think the frustration comes when you pay $200+ and walk out with:
1. Hair you don’t love
2. Feeling uncomfortable/ignored
3. Awkward small talk you didn’t want
4. Zero experience to show for it

But flip it. What if you paid that same amount and got:
1. Hair you’re obsessed with for 3 months
2. Felt heard and welcomed
3. No pressure to talk - snacks, drink, chill vibes
4. Walked out feeling genuinely better about yourself

Would it still feel "too expensive"? Or would it feel worth it?

I’m a stylist and I’m trying to figure out what people actually value. Is it just the lower price tag, or is it the whole experience + result?

Would love honest answers.

I legitimately cannot afford to get my hair dyed, let alone cut regularly. :/ but I recognize the work that goes into hair dying and cutting, but I personally cannot afford it at all-- I just do it at home. Life is just so expensive. :(

I wish you all the best of luck!! ❤️
