I agree that it's expensive, but, that's the way it is in a big city.
I paid $220 for my last visit to the hairdresser because I wanted a balayage. It was actually a good deal, 20% off in May...And you get a massage, relaxing atmosphere, and you feel/look good afterward!

A lot of products for women cost inexplicably more than products for men. Stuff like deodorant, razors, etc. Some health insurance plans also charge higher premiums for women, arguing it's to factor higher health care costs for women because of gynecology appointments and potential pregnancies. But even if you're a woman who doesn't regularly go to the gynecologist (I personally haven't gone in over 2 years and the last time I went was because my orthopedist thought he saw tumors on the fallopian tubes in an MRI of my hip/pelvis) you could still be paying higher premiums because your insurance company weighs it into how they charge women.

I remember when you raised the same point in the other thread about men paying more for auto insurance no matter how good of an individual driver they may be. Kudos for you for remaining constant to the theme. You are truly a consistently fair person when you argue for women to pay more for auto insurance and men to pay less.
