She earns about £600 a month ,dad will pay for her hair (Thinking £60 tops) £130 really
Pre-Brexit £130 .......... Post-Brexit £200+ . Every cloud 
all depends how much hair has to be coloured all salons vary.

Times have certainly moved on from "Shave and a haircut, two bits"!
Just had be thrupenny bit's wazed, nice and smooth now.
Suppose you could get them wazzed on for ten bob somewhere.
The way women "arrange" things down there these days, even if you get a good look you'd have no idea if the collar matches the cuffs of a woman with suspiciously coloured hair. I suppose that's progress! 
The world has relocated to Dublin for tax purposes?
£130 just for starters, then there's the hard sell on 'products' needed to keep the barnet in pristine condition.
As for the price, you charge what people are willing to pay. If he can get £130 then he'd be an idiot to charge less.
The willingness of women to spend more than men on any item is one of the marvels of economics. Pink items are sold for twice as much as identical blue ones in the same shop! I get an OAP hair cut for £6.

DIY companies should latch onto this. "Her cordless drill", in pink, that emits a lilly of the valley smell.
I do wonder though, you sometimes see these horror stories of women who've had a bad allergic reation to a hair dye kit and they are supposed to do an allergy test the day before with just a little of it. How does that work at a salon, do women turn up for an allergy test beforehand, or just risk a horrible reaction? And if the salon ones are 100% allergy proof, why not use the same chemicals at home?

every salon must offer you an allergy test and if they do not alarm bells should ring loudly
even regular customers should have a test every six months if you are having colour applied
48 hrs before your appointment the test should be taken.Its usually applied with cotton bud on the arm it takes two seconds
some salons even require parents to sign a consent form for younger clients

Is when your daughter come home with white streaks in her hair that you need to worry
Premature ageing is no fun

Can't brag, but just drop it in to conversation, not if it only 45 quid...
Conditor appreciate you agreed to pay for it but something doesnt sit comfortable if shes spending 20% of her monthly wage on an hair do.
I completely agree with you Geoff ,the problem is me and her mother split 7 years ago .i only see or hear from my daughter about once a month if I’m lucky,and then it’s when she wants something..... she’s 17 and does what ever she wants .....so in a nutshell I’m being held to ransom.
by yourself and your perceived options based on emotions that are not true, she really wants some discipline and love, just say no occasionally and go for a coffee or walk in the park, she will hold you in higher esteem.
Very good sir ,sounds great ,but in today’s world that doesn’t work... she lives with her head in a phone .living with a mother who thinks more about Botox than friends . People have been brainwashed looks , and fame .... I respect your comments..if only things were that easy
I`ve been doing some calculations and I haven`t spent £130 on a lifetimes haircuts.
... but if it brings some happiness for your daughter and some smiles, it`s £130 well spent. Good luck to her.

Cheers Conditor, your reply explains alot. The world has indeed gone nuts.Keep trying you will, and in years to come i hope she understands more clearly.
She is at that age and will mature, and perhaps be more you and less mum.
All the very best with it.

Have you considered that maybe her hair cut and colour only cost £50, and she has been flimping you for £80 every time she has a hair cut.
Maybe she will get a letter from Tony and Guy - traders decision that she can no longer use their cut and dry facilities - but is still welcome at the nail bar.

Thanks for highlighting the dangers
dear me 130 quid ?..iam lucky i don"nt even have to take my cap off he just cuts round it 5 quid
Can't be bothered with all the hard work of haircuts at barbers
Walk past a barber everyday and there's blokes in there getting exactly the same sodding style
short back and sides and enough on top to comb it to one side, its called something, I like to call it the bland old style ffs
they must spend a fortune over the year, my brother has it done weekly

What amazes me though there's lads who are like 21 22 who are moaning about thinning hair, with all that chemical sh** being sprayed on it weekly no wonder, not to mention the £7 pot of stiff hair glue they stick on it daily
As I say all the time. Thick era.
