Economy of Coastal NC?

[LRoyal10900]

I've gone to high-end salons in Raleigh and NEVER paid $60 for a cut/style. I've paid $60 for a perm, but not just a cut.

$ 60 for a perm sounds like a steal , not a high end salon.

I pay $ 45 for a basic haircut , know of many friends that pay even more
here in Wilmington. high end salons can be found in most big cities.

In Charlotte it is very common to pay $60 for a haircut, add coloring/perm and it's even more.
perhaps the economy has brought prices down a bit but these prices used to
be quite common.

I would research before moving and perhas you can land jobs in Wilmington
and get to live where you want.
if not Raleigh is only 2 hours away.
