A Hair Raising Price
Is a $50 haircut worth it?
After experiencing my first, I believe it is. Especially for people with superfine hair that shows every snip of the scissors. The last thing I need is someone hacking into my hair and leaving a trail of crooked ends behind.
My fancy-shmancy haircut experience at Salon 2000 (an Aveda salon in Eden Prairie) began with a consultation. I went in thinking that I would have to have my hair cut short. I have a ton of hair, but it's super, super fine and I get a lot of flyaways and have zero volume. I had read that long layers are a great look for those with oval faces and fine hair, but I couldn't figure out how to articulate that. Fortunately, Lisa knew exactly what I was talking about.
The consultation was followed by a scalp massage using a calming essential oil. That was followed by a shampoo and a deep conditioning treatment. As my hair was conditioning, Lisa thoroughly massaged each of my hands. After my hair was rinsed, we went to the paraffin bath. I have a paraffin bath at home, but I had forgotten how incredible it feels!
All the pampering was followed by an hour-long haircut. As she snipped away, I felt as though she was cutting each strand individually, which is what I need with my superfine hair. We chatted about the 80s, men with big heads and bridesmaid dresses.
After she finished, we went to a makeup station where she touched up my foundation, lined my lips and filled them in with a bright Burgundy lipstick. At no point did she pressure me to buy the Aveda products (which run in the $20-$40 range for hairspray alone!), which was a nice reprieve.
I have always paid $30 or less for my haircuts, but I have always been unhappy. This experience was so positive that I will definitely repeat it! For the first time I like my hair; that's worth an extra $20.
