How Much Does a Haircut Cost in Plano, TX? (2026 Price Guide)

A haircut in Plano, TX generally runs about $55 to $115 depending on whether it's a men's or women's cut and how experienced your stylist is. At Lee Graves Salon, a women's haircut and style starts at $93, a men's haircut starts at $55, and a children's cut starts at $35. Add finishing services like a conditioning treatment or a gloss and the number moves up from there.

That's the short answer. The longer answer — why two salons a mile apart can quote you $60 and $130 for what sounds like the same appointment — is worth understanding before you book, because it's the difference between paying for a trim and paying for a shape you'll still like in six weeks.

Haircut Prices at Lee Graves Salon

Here's our current cut menu. Prices are shown as a range because they vary by stylist level, which we explain below.

For the complete service menu across every stylist level, see our pricing page. Prices last updated March 2026.

Why the Price Is a Range: Our Stylist Level System

Our stylists are grouped into five levels based on experience, advanced training, and how booked their calendars are. Level 1 is our starting rate; Level 5 reflects our most experienced and most in-demand professionals.

This isn't a quality tier in the way people assume. Every stylist on our floor has been trained to the same standard, and a Level 1 stylist is fully licensed and fully capable of giving you an excellent haircut. What you're paying more for at Level 4 or 5 is years behind the chair — the pattern recognition that comes from having cut thousands of heads of hair, and the ability to look at a cowlick or a dense crown and know exactly how it's going to behave three weeks from now.

Practically, the level system means there's a price point for every budget in the same building, with the same products and the same standards. If you're new to us and price-sensitive, ask for a Level 1 or 2 stylist when you book. If you have a complicated grow-out or you're making a dramatic change, the extra $15 to $20 for a senior stylist is usually money well spent.

What's Actually Included in the Price

A women's haircut at our salon isn't just the cutting. Every cut appointment includes:

• A consultation. Your stylist looks at your hair dry, talks through what you want, and — importantly — tells you honestly whether the photo on your phone will work with your hair's density and growth pattern.
• A shampoo and conditioning at the bowl with products chosen for your hair type.
• The cut itself, sectioned and executed based on the consultation.
• A blowout and finish, so you leave seeing the actual shape rather than guessing at it, and so your stylist can show you how to recreate it at home.

Women's appointments typically run 45 to 60 minutes. Men's cuts take 30 to 45 minutes. When you compare our price to a quick-service chain, that time difference is most of the gap.

What Makes One Haircut Cost More Than Another

Length and density

Long, thick hair takes longer to section, cut, and dry than short, fine hair. That's the single biggest driver of variation inside the same service. Our blowout service, for example, adds $20 for hair more than three inches past the shoulders — cutting follows the same logic even when it isn't itemized on the menu.

Complexity of the shape

A one-length trim and a heavily layered shag are not the same job. Precision work — a sharp bob line, a disconnected shag, a pixie that has to be perfect from every angle — takes more time and more skill than cleaning up ends.

Texture and cutting method

Curly and coily hair is often cut dry, curl by curl, so the stylist can see where each one actually falls. That takes longer than wet cutting. If you have curls, our guide to finding a curly hair salon in Plano covers what to look for and what to ask before you book.

Add-ons

Most of the price spread people run into isn't the cut — it's what got added to it. A gloss, a bond treatment, or a deep conditioning mask all get built into the same appointment and the same ticket.

Common Add-Ons and What They Cost

Our Signature Haircut & Style ($148 – $168) bundles the cut with a deep conditioning treatment, a gloss for shine, and extra finishing time. If you were going to add a treatment and a gloss anyway, the signature service is usually better value than buying them separately. Our full breakdown of in-salon conditioning options lives on the hair and scalp treatments page.

One practical note: a 3% service fee applies when paying by card reader. There's no fee for cash or check.

How Often Should You Get a Haircut?

For most styles, every 6 to 8 weeks. If you're actively growing your hair out, stretch it to 10 to 12 weeks and ask for a light dusting of the ends rather than a full shape-up — you keep the length and still cut off the splitting.

Short, structured cuts are the exception. A pixie or a tight taper loses its shape fastest, and those clients usually come in every 4 to 6 weeks to keep the outline clean.

Here's the part that matters for your budget: the interval is a bigger lever on annual cost than the price per visit. A $100 cut every eight weeks is about $650 a year. The same $100 cut every five weeks is over $1,000. Talk to your stylist about a shape that grows out well, and you can genuinely stretch the calendar without looking overgrown.

Is a More Expensive Haircut Worth It?

Sometimes, and it depends entirely on what you're asking for.

If you want a clean trim on hair you already like, a lower-level stylist will do that beautifully and you should save the money. Where experience earns its price is in the harder problems: fine hair that goes flat, thick hair that puffs into a triangle, a grow-out from a cut you hated, a first-time dramatic change, or curls that have never been cut by someone who understands them.

The other thing you're buying at a full-service salon is the cut's behavior over time. A shape cut with grow-out in mind still works at week six. A shape cut only for the day it's finished doesn't. That's the difference that shows up on your calendar and, eventually, in what you spend per year.

If you're weighing salons rather than stylists, our guide on how to shop for an affordable hair salon in Plano covers where it's genuinely safe to save and where cutting costs tends to cost more later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a women's haircut cost in Plano, TX?

At Lee Graves Salon, a women's haircut and style runs $93 to $112 depending on stylist level, and includes consultation, shampoo, cut, and a finished blowout. Our signature cut, which adds a conditioning treatment and a gloss, is $148 to $168.

How much is a men's haircut in Plano?

Men's haircuts start at $55 and go to $73 at our most senior levels. The men's signature cut — which adds a hot towel, neck shave, and scalp massage — runs $65 to $83.

Do you cut children's hair, and what does it cost?

Yes. Children's cuts start at $35 depending on stylist level. We work at your child's pace and are happy to take breaks if they need them.

Is a blowout included with a haircut?

Yes. Every cut at our salon is finished with a blowout so you can see the actual shape and learn how to style it at home. A standalone blowout without a cut is $50 to $70, plus $20 for hair more than three inches past the shoulders.

Why is my haircut more expensive than the price on the menu?

Almost always because something was added to it — a gloss, a bond treatment, a deep conditioner — or because your hair's length and density pushed the service beyond the starting rate. Your stylist should tell you before adding anything. If you want to stay at the menu price, say so at the consultation and we'll keep it there.

Do you charge extra for long or thick hair?

Menu prices are starting rates. Very long or very dense hair takes meaningfully more time, and your stylist will quote you the difference at your consultation rather than surprising you at checkout.
