We know everything that's a must-have for the prom is costly, so why do hairdressers raise their prices for updo services at this time too?I suppose it’s because they can.
The last time I was in need of a fancy hair style (updo), it was $25 at the salon or $35 if the stylist came to my home. That was in 2005. Did I get a bargain, or have costs actually risen twice as much in 3 years??
My 17-year-old daughter is having her hair done at a local salon for Saturday night’s prom, along with 2 friends. Having called early enough in advance for appointments, they were fortunate to get their scheduled times together.
Each girl is paying $50 for an updo. Add on manicures and pedicures too!
Has anyone ever heard about the concept of a volume discount?
Since all the girls attending the prom from each town need hair styling done on the same day, salon services are in demand. I suppose most are happy just to be squeezed in for an appointment.

Its really a shame that everything goes up during prom season. They only do that because they know that their parents will pay for it. Its sad.
