Lol, Suz, I think that is the definition of insanity!
Thankfully, I don't have to get anything done to me hair... well, at least I don't want anything done to it. I don't care too much about color or what's in style, because I am totally not cool at all.I also hate the maintenance. When I start getting grays I may start getting it colored, but I will wait to see if it's that pretty silver gray or that yellow stuff before I do any coloring. But, with that said, I pay $65 for a cut and style every 4 months from the only person who truly understands my wild and thick hair - at least, she is the only one in our area in the past 8 years who hasn't botched it up and made it look like a horror movie. (I used to drive to Chicago to get it done, but my girl moved away.)

And you have beautiful hair, so I wouldn't touch it if I were you either!Ok, so how much does your hair cost? I went to Vidal Sassoon yesterday and dropped $230! Again! The haircut was 80 bucks, and the **gorgeous** highlights were $150!!
I know, I know, totally a fortune, but if I go to my local salon the grand total would be $160 (cut =60, color=100), and it wouldn't look near as good as this does. At the local salon, you can see where the color stops and starts, it doesn't look natural at all, it's sort of "chunky". Plus, they have trouble mixing two colors, so its lowlights and highlights.
I have light brown-ish red/dark blonde hair (as a kid I was a natural blonde) so I get highlights to punch it up, plus hide the gray (I'm pushing 50). At least, the highlights I only do twice a year....Who cares about the cost of gas, I gotta keep my hair looking good!
Wow, and here I thought $33 every 6 weeks was bad! Holy crap on the amount you girls spend on your hair!
I can't wear it shorter or it gets ridiculous. My hair is sort of an auburn (used to be redder as I was younger) so I think it will be hard to color, I'll probably go for highlights but around here $50 is about the most expensive.
Shellers....I'll loan you my Flowbee!
I think if I was tempted to throw away $200 on my hair I'd think twice and donate that disposable income to a soup kitchen, where people really need it.
Mine sure did. I was born with dishwater blonde hair and my head gradually turned squirrel brown between age 35-40. I think I finally got a single silver hair (I quizzed my co-workers but they all said I was crazy...) but I'm very good at hitting the roots regularly. I've been a "red" head now for about ten years and it's really livened up my white skin.My hair turned a dull, mousy, brown before I began to get a few grays. So, I have this horrible color that looks like death next to my fair skin. Not attractive at all.
Wow. I colour my own hair and haven't had it cut in months because I can't afford it. I won't go to a cheap walk-in place because I've had awful cuts in the past from those, but I can't fork out the cash to get my regular stylist to cut it either, so it's shaggy and gross. Oh well. Who am I trying to impress anyway?

And it's not just for people who deal with the public, either. Looking polished and tasteful is something that is always noticed, whether by bosses, co-workers or otherwise. It somehow conveys the idea that you're good at what you do, whether or not it's true!
