Can anyone tell me how much a haircut costs in NZ? For men and women, please.

Haircuts in the Philippines costs less than NZ$3. And the hairdressers are really good!

So I dont think I'll be able to enjoy cheap haircuts when I get to NZ. :(

Hi Chuchi,

I have a dry trim (for cheapness!) and it costs me $24 each time. And that's not a posh hair salon.

My husband and sons expect to pay about $12 -$20 depending on whether it's the barber or a unisex hairsalon.

These are prices in a small rural town, not a big city which I'd expect would cost more?

Wish it was $3 like you pay!!

:(

Childrens haircuts where I took them in CHCH were $10 each. Richard went too and he was $17 - all done in a mall. They have a loyalty card where the 6th haircut is free. We have the one card so will make sure we use the free one on hubby.

There are shops called $10 haircuts - so I guess all cuts are $10 - not too sure on that though - I am sure someone will correct me! :laugh

there are $10 haircut bars about, never used them myself, for a wash and style cut it costs me about $35 which seems to be average. There is here in Christchurch a hairdressing college where the students do cuts for practise and these cost $5. The ones I have seen from there have all been good cuts too.

Duplicate post - sorry.

At a local barbers here in Rotorua it costs me $14 for short back and sides and bit off the top.

Oh my, I think I am turning into a Kiwi... I had an $18 trim today - usually I'd pay more than £60.

I daren't look in the mirror though... :oops:

I went to a hairdressers the other week in Rotorua (SteveR is my other half, the post above), I have my hair dyed as I am going grey :( , back in the UK I was a dark reddy colour, when I came to NZ I decided to have a complete change and go blondish :eek .

Well I walked into town one day, I had already seen the hairdressers I wanted to try (I am a bit funny about hairdressers, I dont now why but I am, I dont particularly like men touching my hair), anyway, I went in and told the lady on the reception what I wanted and she made be an appointment for the following day :P

I got up the following morning feeling rather nervous (Steve was in Auckland at the time on a training course) I got ready and walked into town and into the hairdressers. I was given a seat and yes you have guessed it a bloke came to me and asked me what I wanted :eek :eek anyway after about half an hour touching and running his fingers through my hair :uhoh he decided what to do. He put loads of foils into my hair and I looked like a turkey ready for the oven :laugh after what seemed like for ever, he came and asked me over to the bowls so he could wash my hair, well this was the highlight of my visit, I sat in this big dentist chair, sat back and he said "are you ok honey", I said "yes thanks", he said "I will switch this on honey, you just lay back, go to sleep if you want and I will come back in about 5 minutes". Well this lovely dentist chair was a massage chair, it was fab :nice1. After about 5/10 minutes a girl came over and started massaging my head, I thought I was in heaven :P .

To cut a long story short, I went up to pay :eek :eek , being as I had had alot of blonde put into my hair, I asked if I could have some special shampoo and conditioner, "certainly honey" he replied, he explained what to do etc.... I asked how much he wanted, I thought he said $59, not bad I thought, that was just for the shampoo and conditioner :no , I passed him my card and he handed me a receipt for $159.00 OMG.

I stumbled out of the hairdressers thinking, well I had a nice massage aswell :laugh :laugh .

I will be going back because my hair needs some more blonde in it and my back does need a bit of a massage :eek and thankfully Steve does like my hair :nice1

Oh Yes... the massaging chairs - forgot about those... I was a bit shocked when it started as no one had mentioned my butt was about to be vibrated ;)

$159.00 ??????????????

Blooming heck. Would you like me to send you over a couple of cartons of 'Nice & Easy'.

Never big a big fan of hairdressers (obviously). Rarely have it cut, trim my fringe occasionally with the bacon sissors - that's about it.

Maybe I'll make more of an effort in NZ. But there again, maybe I won't.

next time Jules is having a $14 cut like me.

:eek $160 :eek thats a years worth of my cuts.

Seems like there's an opening for mobile hairdressers/stylists. It can only be good news as the wife is a hairdresser, but would only want to work part time / mobile.
She's good at it aswell............. Haircuts/Styling/Colouring, that is ;)

Happy New Year and all the best for 2005

Cheers :cheers
