Hair budget?

I honestly have no clue how much to budget for getting my hair done.. I have long hair (several inches passed my elbows) and I want it curled using curlers not a curling iron because my hair will not keep a curl for more than five minutes with a curling iron no matter how much hair spray or what ever you use. I went to school for a year for cosemetology and have had even the teachers try to curl my hair with a curling iron because they did not believe me when I told them that. Trust me, it just won't work.

So to get my hair in curlers and then styled in a half up do, how much should I budget? Taking into consideration that I will not be going to some super fancy place, probably just a small local salon.

    You have to shop around and ask for the pricing. Every salon/stylist have different price range and that's common. They also have different prices depending what you want done. 

    I'm paying around 75 for an updo. If I was getting half up and half down it would be 60.

    I would ask your local board for some recs and also what you can expect to pay, as it varies greatly.

    Definitely look at your local boards. Updos seem to range from $50-100 approximately.

    Have you ever had your air put up in curlers before? I'm guessing that you have since you say you took a cosmo course, and while curlers definitely keep the curl longer than an iron, your hair may still fall a bit flat as the day goes on.

    Yes I have, and it the curl does fall out a bit, but it will keep a loose curl for the entire day. My hair will litterealy fall flat with an iron though.. like a curl was never even there....
