Haircuts (wash/cut/blow dry) in the Big City (Toronto) seemed to be around $80. Now that I am retired and travel to the big city infrequently, I've sourced someone local and it is $40. And seems consistent with other salons in the area. DH is charged $18. for no shampoo and scissors-over-comb top and clippered sides.
If you have a simple style and easy hair, then it may not matter if you have an experienced stylist or not. I never understood $300. trims for bob style hairdos, however if you have a tricky cut or difficult hair, and a stylist who 'gets' you, it may be worth the expense.
