I dyed my medium-brown hair red for 20+ years. I finally decided to stop, close to 4 years ago. I have long curly hair and was not about to cut it off. I tried using semi-permanent color to get through the grow-out phase, but that did not prove to be a satisfactory solution. With about 3 inches of new growth, I went to a colorist for help. She did a balayage that created a gradual fade from the new growth to a sandy blond. It was a life-changer... the best $350 I ever spent. No maintenance required at all. I recently went back to the same colorist for some teal highlights, just for fun.

I would cringe at spending $4K on my teeth for less than structural reasons, or for a face lift. That much for HAIR??? I am seriously out of touch here.

Same here! We bought our son's used car for less than that. That is half the cost of replacing our roof. I could never spend that on my hair!

I think both Jane and Sharon look fabulous. That said, I'm not spending $4,000 on my hair, unless it's over a 10 year period. I can't see myself at a stylist for 7 hours either, so there you have it. Then there is the probably $4,000 worth of makeup on that a professional also does for them. I'm not in the public eye so fortunately I don't feel the pressure as a famous woman to look a certain way. I figure that if I ever am in a living situation where it won't be feasible to have my hair colored professionally, that's when I will let my hair do what it wants to do, color wise.

I went to my hairdresser today and we had a good talk about Jack Martin. I told her about the $4000 and we both agreed that's CRAZY! She wondered if that's what he charges celebrities but gives real people a better deal. I didn't get that impression, but who knows. I asked her again about maintenance and she said as long as someone has gray hair, there shouldn't really be much coloring maintenance -- that's the point, in her mind. She also said she thinks he does multiple clients a day because there's so much waiting time. Yowsa!
