Salon Apex in Amherst.  I got a few recs to go there and so I called today and got an appt right away ... perfect!  The very friendly secreatry then told me, as a new client, what their prices are.  I'm going to paying $40 for a haircut.  I had to swallow my gasp.  I know that's higher end, it's not completely outrageous, but still.  And the thing is, I REALLY need my cut fixed.  I love the length and the style but I don't know what in hell my stylist did when I last saw her two weeks ago or so ... she was extremely distracted, talking non-stop and yelling at people, and took a personal phone call and got even more distracted after that.  I left w/ a cute cut, but one side is definitely more angled than the other and I finally decided this morning that I can't live w/ that.  So I guess I'm going to go and pay $40 to go and have this fixed.  I really, really hope this is worth the money.  Anyone been and have any insight?

I've never been there but I wanted to say good luck getting your cut fixed! I'm sorry your regular stylist was not giving you 100% last time, thats a little frustrating. Hopefully this place will be worth the money!

Wow! I've never been there before, but i couldnt intentionally pay 40$ for a hair cut.  Carl would be sooo mad, haha!

 At least you know the price now though.  It would have been horrible if you went in there not knowing.  Good Luck :-)

I have never been there before but good luck!  The last lady I went to didn't do a good job either!  Salon Mirabella in Merrimack is supposed to be pretty good ...I hear. 

PS....I don't think $40 is too much!  IMO!  I used to pay WAY more in Boston!

Honestly I think $40 is a pretty good deal for a great haircut!  I'm also coming from the Boston mentaility where I used to get my hair cut for years.  Although I do know Innovations and Cassandras are way more than $40 too.

Thanks for the input, and I feel a little better now spending the 40 bucks, knowing that's pretty average.  More than I wanted to spend but if she does a really great job, it's worth it.  A friend of mine today told me that she went to Cassandra's once for a cut and color and it was $250 and that her husband just about shat himself when she told him.  He said she could never go there again unless they were pouring gold into her hair, LOL!!

yeah, i can't remember the last time a cut cost me less than $40....i've paid at least that for a looooong time.

I would call back the salon you went to and ask for them to fix it. I have had to do that before at a nice salon. I didn't want to but I paid a lot of money. The salon would definately fix it. Tell them you want someone else to fix the cut.

Haircuts are so expensive these days = )  $40 is about average.  I can't remember the last time I paid less than $40 for a cut
