A woman was taken aback to discover that a blow-dry was not included in the nearly $300 price of her hair service.
Colleen McKee shared her salon experience on TikTok, feeling like “a wet, blonde rat” post the additional blow-dry cost.
She questioned whether it was common for salons to charge extra for drying highlighted hair, especially after shelling out almost $300.
McKee’s video, posted on April 27, went viral with over 2 million views and 89,000 likes.
She clarified that the extra charge wasn’t the decision of her hairdresser but a salon policy.
Seeking opinions, McKee’s viewers voiced their astonishment towards paying a hefty price without a proper blow-dry. Some hairstylists mentioned that ensuring color and cut quality required a blowout, adding it to the overall price.
Salon-goers chimed in, mentioning that it’s common for salons to charge for additional services, especially as pricing structures evolve.
