Isn't this just sexism? or are they allowed because they are Lady-men?

i honestly think it's because they know women will pay more for it. my husband won't pay more than $10 for a haircut and he doesn't care where he gets it. if i pay less than $60 I assume it's not a good cut. I know - ridiculous, but society made me believe it!

Ladies will usually have longer hair, better style more color more in demand and want a perfect result. Business outlooks their target market are females so if they raise their prices higher for females they know that they will make more profit as if the prices were to be the same for men they wouldn't make much. Hey us girls just want the best cut, color, service and all the inbetweens that's why. No its not sexism .

They dont it just depend on the length and what they have done. They have an average ammount for men and a different ammount for women because usually the lengths and what they ask for is different. Female styles are also a bit more difficult to cut. But again that depends.
Women are also willing to pay more but men would groan if they were over charged were as a women would prob go to the most expensive salon to ensure a good cut

I don't like having guys cut my hair, they always get too bossy about it. I think the price difference is due to women s styles being more complicated. It should be that you are paying for the skill level of the hairdresser, but I am not sure that it works out that way in the end

Men= less hair
women= more hair
They charge more because generally there is more to cut and it takes longer. That is the only reason Ive ever heard from a hair dresser.

Well I'll give you the male consultation...." So what are we doing today?" " Short on the back and sides and leave it finger length on top so I can wear it messy if I want." ( Cut time...10-15min )
Female consultation..." So what are we doing today?" "jgfkl;h;awu;4hjfieo;ajek;kjfaeijfieo;am;j....so you get what I mean right?" With women, we must take more time to be sure we are on the same page because what they explain, might not always be what they mean....Women's cuts and styles can take 45 min to an hour depending. Now not always a rule but it is the majority!

Well...look at it like this. If you had to dig a whole 1 foot long....you would charge one price...but if you had to dig a whole 4 foot long..you would charge extra right? Would you charge the same price for more work needed done? Probably not. Same with women's hair. Usually most hair salons set it at one price for hair above the shoulders..and a different price for below the shoulders.

Because sometimes ladies have long hair and more women will have longer hair than men. Also hairdressers usually take more time and effort with blow drying women's hair.

my best friend is a stylist, her shop charges more for womens hair because it is longer, they never want "just a cut" it is always cut to look like someone else's(styled), conditioned, blow dryed and styled. whereas mens cuts are pretty basic, usually a "businessman's cut" or a "buzz cut".
hardly ever any "styling" to a mans cut, but then again, more and more shops are using "menu's" and charging for length of hair, what they want done, how they want it done etc.

It takes a bit longer to do a ladies hair than just a "short back and sides"!
