I was told to expect that it would be closer to $200 unless it was an extreme case that required a substantial amount of more product than expected. When I arrived to pick my daughter up…

It was pretty expensive for a cut and color but it was well worth the price. There is an accessibility issue. There are two HUGE flights of stairs to reach your destination.
