Those places dont post their prices online, afaik, and say prices vary by area. Aka, we charge more in areas where people make more money.
Whatevs, the concern trolling here is off the charts.

No, the incels here are just off the charts.
Shall we find out the national average for color and highlights?
2025 Hair Highlights Cost | Average Salon Color & Dye Prices
Hair highlights and dye coloring costs $60 to $150 with most paying $80 on average. Trends like Balayage, Babylights, or Ombre highlights costs are $100 to $150.

Hair coloring and highlights cost between $60 and $150 on average with most spending about $80. For more complex trends such as Balayage, Babylights, or Ombre highlighting expect to spend $100 to $150 or more. Get free estimates from hair stylists near you.
That's the color, without the cut. The low-lights is in the high end of that range.
What you all here fail to realize is cut and highlights is about 3 hours work.
That in a major market including overhead will cost at LEAST 200, more like 250 from an AVERAGE salon.
Tell me, what is 3 hours skilled labor plus overhead?

My billing rate for consulting services is $250+/hr. I know what in demand services cost.
This was never a debate about what it costs. You can always get a standard massage for < $50 or a luxury $500 massage. You can get a manicure/pedicure for $40, or you can get a luxury one for $300. You're still missing the point.
But you guys keep missing that and also ironically calling us incels for no apparent reason. You sure you guys can keep up with the personal insult rule?

Why would they pay you $250 when someone else will do it for less?

Here is a price list at a local salon near me.
This is not a high end salon. It's actually a trendy low end salon in a mixed income area.
This IS the cost of being a woman. And it doesn't surprise me much at all the the usual suspects have no idea how much a professional woman has to spend on her appearance.
It's not my fault you don't have a woman in your life to know what these things cost them.
Meanwhile, 3 hours skilled labor, plus overhead, plus tip, in one of the highest rent areas of the country.
In what world is that not $300?
A cheap massage is 30 minutes. A cheap pedi is 20 minutes.
A cut and low-lights is 3 hours of skilled labor.
And it's funny how I've actually POSTED average prices for these services while all you guys have done is make shit up.

I've been married for 35 years and don't have a clue as to what my wife pays for a haircut (though I damn well better notice when she has it done). Am I still an incel? Would I not be an incel if I asked her what she spends for a haircut?Actually, this thread is a case study in incels who have no idea what a middle/working class woman pays for average services and clothes.
Seriously, I'm military retired. I do personal training part time to keep me on my feet. I'm in no way wealthy.
And even my GF pays about 300 including tip for a cut and low/highlights or color. And that's the LOWEST range available for that service in our area. She can color on her own, but low/highlights is pretty hard to do by oneself and requires a skilled worker to do it right.
ANYONE with an actual, live girlfriend knows this.
But the last remaining holdouts for Trump are incels and trailer park trash who think Trump will make them rich so...
This article shows how surprised average, working class women are that anyone would think that 300 including tip for cut and low/lights is in any way extravagant:
AOC's Haircut Isn't That Expensive. 10 Women Share How Much They Pay for Their Own.
In solidarity with AOC, women have been sharing how much they paid for their last haircut.www.teenvogue.com
But we're glad you incles are finally out of the incel closet now. Maybe, just maybe, you could get a real, live girlfriend if you weren't so busy being, well, you.
Just "incels" would have been ok. "You incels" is an attack on the quoted poster.

I don't care for AOC's politics, but if she chooses to spend $5000 on a haircut it's of no concern to anyone. She earned the money, she gets to spend it in any manner she sees fit, or not spend it all. There is no hypocrisy involved either way as she's never (as far as I know) suggested that anyone shouldn't spend their money on grooming or cloths. I don't recall her taking an oath of poverty either.
Lol. I wouldn't dare date those plebian women who get their hair cut at standard establishments.

I get you listed the prices from places. I'm sorry you're not understanding the topic of discussion. As I said, no one here is arguing what these types of luxury services cost.
And I'm also married. So, yeah... no. But nice try with more continuous personal attacks.
Lol I get my hair cut at great clips because I don’t want to spend a ton on it.
Now can you back up sao123’s claim with actual evidence?

It really isn't that much, especially considering it was done in DC. Women generally don't have to get a cut as frequently as men, and even the color/highlights is done in weeks. People splurge on eating out all the time, which adds up if you do it frequently.
This isn't even surprising if you've taken Econ 101. A haircut is a normal good. AOC makes much much more than a typical person. This is peanuts, and she has even more reason to do this since she is a public figure.
Propaganda and snipe hunting. It's a great combo.

They. Aren't. Luxury.
They are the cost of being a professional woman. Ask any professional woman.
Thousands of professional working and middle class women have been saying just this on social media ever since the incel brigade started trying to prove some kind of point with this. Pointing out the basic, (not luxury) cost of being a working woman and calling it the "woman tax."
Rather like the cost of suits for a man. Calling it "luxury" only shows your own ignorance.

But hey, at least the discussions are civil. /eye roll
What else do they have? Certainly nothing based in reality. It's a template that they learned and they use it. <shrug>
AOC fires back after getting slammed for paying an average price for a haircut
The Washington Times on Wednesday ran the headline, “Self-declared socialist AOC splurges on high-dollar hairdo,” after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez...

Meanwhile, women in major cities across America collectively asked, “So?”
According to data compiled in 2016 by Square, the mobile payments company co-founded by Twitter’s TWTR, +2.07% Jack Dorsey, $80 is just about in line with haircut prices in costly areas like Washington D.C.

My great aunt always had a beehive hairstyle. Lords knows what she spent over the years on her hair. You should also look into the costs of getting your nails done and makeup prices.
