Cost of professional relaxer?

[LaReyna756]

$70 for a relaxer (mizani) and trim.

 

[sunshinebeautiful]

The going rate round these parts is $70-$80. I guess because there aren't many Black folks in the area. And guess what? The work is not all that great either. This is why I started doing my own relaxers.

 

[ChocalateDiva]

That is a trip for me!!!!!!!!!! I pay 45.00-50.00. Gosh - I love Cali but cant afford to live there.

 

[jayjaycurlz]

I'm texlaxed and I just paid $106 for a touch-up, wash, trim and blow dry. I used to get my touch-ups every 8 weeks but I've been stretching them out to at least 10 weeks. My next touch-up will not be until September. I'm not about to let my stylist get rich off of me!

 

[shesheshe]

Here in London I know people who pay £110 thats $220 dollars!

 

[SparklingFlame]

Ahhhh...a double post

 

[SparklingFlame]

I must be out of touch b/c when I was relaxed the most I EVER paid as $45 and I was mad as hellz about that! Wow $110 for a relaxer. I know I would be a self relaxer.

ETA: When I sported a "halle" cut back in the day I went to a stylist in downtown Charleston on King street and she was only charging get this....$25 for a relaxer AND a cut!!!!!! I was like . You know I was all over that since I was a broke college student at the time.

!!OMG That's ridiculous. I'm trippin over here about having to pay $65 for a touch up. I wanted to go to the salon this month, but I really don't trust hair stylists and I don't want to pay the money.

 

[YoungWavey]

Damn i thought $50 was too much for a mizani touch-up, trim, and doobie. I buy my own relaxer and ask my mother to put it in Lord just to save a few dollars.

 

[shynessqueen]

I pay $0.00 because i do everything myself. I'm a professional when it comes to my hair.

 

[Edmine]

he salon I go to its 30-35 dollars

 

[Jazala]

$0

I do it myself.

 

[SmartyPants]

I picked $50.00 - $75.00 because that's what it cost almost a year ago the last time I went to the salon. This coming August will be 1 year of me doing my own relaxers. I think I take much more time and care for my own hair than any stylist ever did!

 

[Cxshortie]

The black owned spa i go to charges 90 for a relaxer, the dominican lady I have been seeing charges 50. I get 4 touchups per year.

 

[PeggyFair]

85-90 bucks for a touch up and trim. This includes 5 tip to the shampoo girl, when there is no shampoo gal on duty my hairdresser shampoos my hair so I just give her a 10 dollar tip. Well worth it cuz my hairdresser is EXCELLENT!

 

[vonte422]

I didn't vote, my "stylist" charges $35 or 40 i can't remember, but i am my stylist now, so i guess thats free

 

[**SaSSy**]

Don't know why the AA salons charge so much, but when I use to go it was about $50 for everything and it was some sh*t I ain't even heard of that really didn't last.

For the past 10 years on and off I been going to the same Dominican salon and it's either $30 or $35 if you bring your own relaxer.

 

[cupcakes]

I have medium length hair and I am charged $110.00 for touch up/ rinse and trim. What about you. I get touch ups every 6 weeks too. My goal is start stretching time between touchups.

OMG THAT IS CRAZY ROBBERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I PAY NO MORE THAN $50 BUCKS

 

[MizzBrown]

I don't see how yall do it with those high *** prices.

My stylist charges a different rate for nonregulars. My rates under her are:

-Relaxer $45
Whether its Motions, Design or Affirm..doesnt matter.
That INCLUDES a trim or updating my layers.
I can get a doobie, a somewhat intricate style, whole head twists, etc. ALL INCLUDED in that $45 price

-Rinse/Dye= FREE w/ a service if you bring your own bottle of rinse.

-Eyebrow arch=FREE w/ service. $2 if you just walk in any other time.

I always tip her $5 and i have never paid more than $50 in my life for a relaxer....aint about to start either.

 

[skipper]

im really ready to self relax and not look back.

my stylist in the bay area charges me $75 for an affirm relaxer

i went to a stylist in la/bh he was recommended here he used an affirm relaxer and charged me $110 nothing to write home about so i haven't been back since.

so im just going to invest in the butter blends system and diy the whole entire system is around $120 and it will probably last me for quite a few retouches

 

[neyhla]

I usally pay 100€ --> $155
but i live in France

 

[TaurusAngel]

wow at some of these prices. I pay 35 and 40 if i get a rod set or something to that extent. I guess i'm blessed.

And my stylist uses Affirm.

 

[Lanea87]

I voted $50-$75 because I get charged that much for a relaxer, trim, and flat iron. Well its actually $50 on the dot!

 

[HoneyA]

I pay about $45. $110 seems a bit much.

 

[KAT25]

$60 dollars at the salon but I have been doing them lately myself so abut $6 dollars but for my next one I plan on going to the salon to have it done

 

[Queen V]

I pay $75 for mine.

 

[jujufireal]

I THINK $110-$120 is way to much money, no matter what relaxer they use

 

[LikeNoOther]

• $65 for relaxer (Design Essentials) and trim/cut
• $10 tip

 

[SmartyPants]

I THINK $110-$120 is way to much money, no matter what relaxer they use

Actually it's probably not all that off from what others pay if the stylist is using Phyto. Those things cost $60!

 

[Stiletto_Diva]

In the past I would pay $80 for a mizani relaxer and that included a flat iron and style. But then my stylist went on maternity leave so I had to find someone new and they charged $90 for the relaxer and a flat iron. This was way too expensive to do every 6-8 weeks, especially since I'm in college. So I decided to transition.
