Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.
How much does a hair stylist cost?
The average cost to get your hair professionally styled is between $40 and $150, depending on your location and the service you select. Hair salon cuts cost from $20 and up with salons offering numerous other styles with a range of prices, including:
There are no set rules for tipping but if you are happy with your haircut a tip of 15% to 20% is acceptable. Tip your stylist in cash, rather than paying with a credit card, to be sure the tip goes directly to your stylist. If your stylist is also the owner of the salon, leaving a smaller or no tip is acceptable since they set the prices and earn the profits from your style.
Do hair salons charge tax?
In some areas, hair salons are exempt from sales tax. In other areas, they are subject to tax which is charged as a percentage of the total cost of the service and added to the final bill. When budgeting for your hair services, don't forget to ask the salon whether tax is being added to the cost of your service.

Hair salons offer a variety of hair services including cuts, color, perms, straightening, and extensions. In addition to hair services, many salons also offer:
Waxing services
Nail services
Eyebrow services
Facials
Makeup application
Body treatments
How to choose a hair salon?

I had a very bad experience with another hair salon stylist ,so I was very nervous about going back again to see anyone . I was looking for someone that was knowledgeable about the art of coloring hair and they could give me the best advice for my age group. Nicole was honest and sincere very knowledgeable, and I love the constant communication. I didn’t have to ask many questions . She educated me about the process and how to even maintain the hair color and aftercare . I highly recommend Nicole love her personality, she has a client for life !!!

With Susie, it's more than just getting your hair done, it's an experience. She listens to you, helps you figure out what would look best, and works her magic. She makes you feel important. Susie is professional in all she does. I moved away from AZ over 3 years ago, and have yet to find a stylist that could compare. If you want your hair done, cut color style or whatever, Susie is your go to for all.
