How much should I pay for highlights?

We have a family friend who is a hair dresser. She is giving my daughter who’s blonde, some more blonde highlights to lighten it. Daughter is 12. She said “pay whatever you think is good”… I don’t get my hair done so have no idea what’s fair to pay?!?

Where I am, these services in salon prob start off around $60. Give or take. Time is money. Products cost money. So keep that in mind.

I pay around $150 for a full head. I would pay probably $75 for a kiddo and to show appreciation

$120 for half a head $200 for a full head plus tip

Depends on your location. Call around to local businesses and ask for pricing. Here locally you can get it done for $80-90 before tip.

Half or full head? Also my hair broke getting highlights on the very blonde bits… I’d be nervous letting someone that young get highlights.

+I think I would get a kit and do it myself!!!

A family friend does my daughters full head highlights at home and charges her $100

My sister just got her 12 year old some highlights at a salon and they charged her 75, I’d say 100 is good.

I wouldn’t get a 12 year old highlights but if I did I would expect to pay around $75. plus tip.

Cost me $55 to get highlights in my hair earlier in the year

$80, $100 including the tip

I would rather she gave a price , hate when someone does this .

$100 … If she didn’t give a set price she truly just appreciates your business and whatever you offer!

Prices also depend on where you live.

  1. If you as an adult mother don’t go get your hair professionally done, then neither does a child !
