Mom drops staggering amount on kids haircuts…
An Aussie mother has sparked a dialogue about the fee of kids’ haircuts in these loopy cost-of-living occasions.
Creator @itsjustmilliee posted a clip on TikTok, wanting to know if the staggering amount she just paid for her toddler son’s haircut, and little woman’s fringe trim, was “standard”.
Spoiler alert: it’s not.
“My husband pays $30 for his haircut”
The mother begins in her clip:
“I just got my son’s hair cut and my daughter’s fringe trimmed. It cost me $120 [$77.02 USD].”

Reasonably, she provides, “I’m pleased to pay if that’s what everybody’s paying. It’s not one thing I might do myself. I’m pleased to pay a skilled, but I really feel like that’s a lot for a short back and sides and fringe trim.
“Is that standard?”
She then shares a shot of the back of her son’s head, declaring a couple of locations where the cut shouldn’t be precisely what she wished.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s just hair. I was just curious to know what everyone else is paying. So if you could please drop a comment, that would be appreciated.”
The clip was captioned: “I didn’t question it because compared to the price of my hair appointments I thought it was ok … then I got home and my husband told me he pays $30 [$19.25 USD] for his hair.”

“Hairdressers are living in a fantasy land”
The feedback on the mother’s post had been usually useful and supportive in sharing of experiences… of paying considerably much less.
These viewers mentioned:
“My husband pays around $40 [$25.67 USD] & we paid around $40 [$25.67 USD] for my daughters full wash, trim & style.”
“I lost my mind when [our local] wanted $32 [$20.54 USD] each for 2 girls “trims” (they’re 4 and 2 for reference).”
“$20 [$12.84 USD] at the barber for my 10yr old. $25 [$16.04 USD] at the hairdresser for my daughter.”
For comparability’s sake, I pay $45 [$28.88 USD] at a barber for my 18 yr previous son, and $50 [$32.09 USD] at an superb hairdresser for myself in Chinatown.
There was also one remark on the post that unkindly learn, “Hairdressers are living in fantasy land. It’s not rocket science.”
Finally, this viewer made a sensible suggestion:
“$35 [$22.46 USD] in Mudgee. He has related hair size to your son’s.
“I don’t even pay $120 [$77.02 USD] to get my hair cut. I would be going back and questioning it. Maybe they charged you the wrong price by accident??”
The creator agreed, saying, “This is a good idea! Based on everyone’s comments I think it must have been a mistake – I’ll call up tomorrow and ask.”
