Not sure who was making this one? Thanks to Goddess for doing the last couple.

    I got quoted 520 to 580$ to do a pink ombre on virgin hair (pretty short, just below chin length) and I know they use Olaplex etc, but that feels excessive? Am I wrong?

      If you’re brave enough you could try a teaching salon? Like Biba?

        I am not, sadly! At the moment my self image is pretty fragile, I would not be able to brush off a bad cut or colour :')

      Sounds a bit much. But in saying that all I ever get is micro foils.

      I tried to look up what my hairdresser charges but they only list balayage which they do for $172

        I looked around on some other salons, and they quote between 150 to 200 ish (without treatments like Olaplex etc, which seem to be another 70$ on top). I think I might ask around for salon recs, I remember I did a full ombre on long hair like 5 or 6 years ago and it was 300, roughly. (I know things are more expensive now but the jump to almost 600, for short hair, seems just crazy).

        I’d never heard of balayage until Sarah Millican talked about it on Taskmaster and one of the other contestants called it ‘Bally-wigwam’.
