However, I suspect female hairdressers would defend their prices on the basis of selling an "experience"; the theory being that women often get their hair done to feel good, whereas men just want shorter hair. Additionally, women can take an hour or two; men usually get done in £15 minutes.
I don't say I agree with it - and certainly if you're a woman and "just want shorter hair", you're being ripped-off. But that's the argument.
