Hairdressing: three chic tips to get a cut and blow-dry without spending 80 euros

Paying 80 euros for a cut and blow-dry has become the norm in many salons. Yet some people refuse to accept these excessive prices. Here’s how to cut your hair-care bill without sacrificing quality .

Why salon rates will soar in 2026

Hair salon prices have risen significantly in recent years. Between the cost of products, charges and skilled labor, the bill is rising. What’s more, some salons in city centers charge premium rates that are hard to justify.

Faced with this reality, many customers are looking for alternatives. They want to keep their hair looking good without spending an inordinate amount of money on it. So they develop clever strategies to space out their visits to the salon.

It’s a simple fact: there are ways to save money. With a little organization and the right tools, you can cut your hairdressing budget in half. It’s a question of method, not compromising your appearance.

Spacing out appointments with home care

The first tip is to maintain your hairstyle between visits to the hairdresser. By caring for your hair at home, you can prolong the life of your haircut. This allows you to space out your appointments by several weeks.

The Silvercrest ionic technology hair dryer is an invaluable ally in drying your hair without damaging it. Thanks to this technology, your hair stays shiny and disciplined longer between visits.

Investing in the right equipment pays off in the long term. You can easily reproduce the blow-dry you achieve in the salon. The Silvercrest straightening brush helps you achieve professional results at home, without any special effort.

• Space appointments at least 6 to 8 weeks apart
• Maintain your blow-dry with the right tools
• Choose off-peak times to benefit from reduced fares
• Opt for less expensive out-of-town salons
• Take advantage of sponsorship offers or loyalty programs

Hairdressing schools as a cost-effective alternative

Hairdressing schools offer highly discounted services. Students work under the supervision of experienced professionals. You benefit from a supervised service at a fraction of the usual rate.

This option does require a little more time. On the other hand, the savings are substantial. Some customers even find particularly talented apprentices who they then follow in their careers.

The quality of our services is constantly improving. The techniques taught are modern and the products used are professional. It’s an excellent way to pamper yourself without breaking the bank.

For simple touch-ups between cuts, the Silvercrest multi-function blow brush offers a range of styling options. It combines drying and styling for impeccable results in just a few minutes.

Negotiate and compare rates

It’s essential to compare prices before choosing a salon. Prices can vary by as much as 30 to 40% from one salon to another. Take the time to find out what’s on offer.

Some salons offer preferential rates during the week or early in the day. Taking advantage of these less popular times can save you money. Your hairdresser will also appreciate these quieter times.

If you want to create curls at home, the Silvercrest curling iron lets you vary your hairstyle without going back to the salon. This gives you greater autonomy while preserving your budget.

Investing in capillary autonomy

Learning a few simple gestures transforms your relationship with hair care. Cutting ends, maintaining bangs or freshening up a short haircut becomes accessible. This autonomy naturally reduces the frequency of visits.

For men’s haircuts or finishing touches, the SilverCrest hair and beard trimmer, available from Lidl for 9.99 euros, represents a minimal investment. It makes it easy to maintain a short cut or clear the nape of the neck between hairdressing appointments.

In the end, all these tips add up to considerable savings over the year. You’ll keep your hair looking its best, while keeping your expenses under control. The secret lies in the balance between occasional professional care and regular home maintenance.
