For some of us, a quick trip to a chain salon is all we need to get our hair in decent shape. Others treat a haircut as a moment for a long, luxurious pampering session — with a price tag to match. If you’re shopping for a hair stylist in your city, you’ll soon see that prices can have wide ranges, usually pegged to factors like the expertise of the person behind the chair, the type of salon where they’re working, the type of hair you have, the cut you’re getting and how much personal attention you’re expecting.
The national average cost of a haircut is $56, according to industry tracker You Probably Need A Haircut. The average cost of women’s haircuts is $69, with men’s cuts averaging $43. Geography plays a big role in what you’ll pay: the average haircut in Omaha, Nebraska, costs $31 (the national low), while in New York City it costs on average $148 (the national high). Cheaper haircuts are usually found in smaller towns, beauty schools and chain salons, while pricier ones are at high-end salons in big cities.
