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:

Body treatments

I am exceptionally picking about who touches my hair. I had been seeing the same stylist for years until he had moved away, I was lost (and my hair was a hot mess without him). Few weeks later I had a terrible break-up and did what any 18yr old would, called up the salon that shall not be named and said give me your best, that was the day that I met JP. Fast forward seven years later and I haven't left his side. He is the best stylist I've ever been to, I trust him with my hair (and that's huge). A lot of the time I just tell him to go for it, have fun, and every single time it's beyond amazing! Not only is a brilliant with a pair of scissors, but he takes his time, he loves his craft, and he is a blast to talk to! JP is my new age Edward Scissorhands...in the least creepy way possible. Thank you for all of the fabulous cuts and many more to come!!

Cindy is THE BEST in the extensions business. I’ve been her client since 2007. Sometimes I fly in and fly back home just to see her for my extensions. Yes, that’s how amazing she is.
