Mom drops staggering amount on kids haircuts: Is that standard?

An Aussie mom has sparked a discussion about the cost of kids’ haircuts in these crazy cost-of-living times.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 girl’s fringe trim, was “standard”.Spoiler alert: it’s not.The mom 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 adds, “I’m happy to pay if that’s what everyone’s paying.

It’s not something I could do myself.I’m happy to pay a professional, but I 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, pointing out a couple of places where the cut is not exactly what she wanted.“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.”The comments on the mom’s post were generally helpful and supportive in sharing of experiences… of paying significantly less.These viewers said:“My husband pays around $40 [$25.67 USD] & we paid around $40 [$25.67 USD] for my daughters full wash, trim & style.” Stay up on the very latest with Evening Update.
