I have an appointment in two weeks in NYC to get my hair cut for $165; wash, condition, cut, and style. But I have curly hair, and it only needs to be cut twice a year. Plus, this salon ONLY cuts curly hair; it's their speciality, as half the stylists (as well as the owner) have curly hair. I've been to cheaper places, but quickly realized after very disappointing results, that cutting curly hair and straight hair are two TOTALLY different processes!
