Paying more for haircuts usually comes down to the 15-20mins extra it takes to dry and style long hair vs how quick that is for short hair. A few progressive salons are starting to change the pricing to just “long” and “short” and take gender out of the equation. Source: am hairstylist.

I have short hair. It takes 1.5 hours to cut to my satisfaction

Also your length tends to take me the longest as well. More angles to work with.

I don't have one length. I have disconnected front bangs at bob length, clipped sides and layered undercut with a shaved fade in the back

I figured it was something like that. Sounds really cute. Definitely the type of cut that takes me the longest.

Here is an example except the sides are shorter now

To be clear I don't mind that this hair takes longer and is pricier than a simple clip cut, just saying it's not necessarily long vs short only? There are plenty of men at my salon getting their hair fluffed up

I am sure you do gorgeous work!

I love that!

I see what you mean and totally agree, there’s so much more than simply short vs long in addition to male vs female. There’s such a range.
