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?
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).
