Can we talk about that fancy salon in downtown Austin that charges $400 for a cut

I visited this new high-end salon on 6th Street last month and I was shocked at what I saw. These stylists were using the same basic techniques I learned in cosmetology school 10 years ago, but charging triple what I do. One stylist even admitted they just use a regular razor and some thinning shears for texture work. Meanwhile, I'm over here using the same tools in my chair for $120 a cut. Am I missing something, or is this just good marketing? Has anyone else checked out these overpriced places and felt the same way?

Sounds like they're selling the experience, not the haircut.

Lmao it's a haircut, not a concert.
