laurenfl15 Posted March 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 9, 2016 About to head on the Constellation on 3/19/16. Have a good amount of OBC. I know the spa is ridiculously expensive, but as some of you ladies may know, so is getting highlights done on Land. For that reason, I am considering getting my hair colored on the ship. Anyone had this done in the past? Just trying to see how it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_tchr Posted March 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 9, 2016 DW said expensive and just OK. About double the cost of home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrpanpens Posted March 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I have my hair washed and blown dry on cruises because it takes me over an hour to do it. They do a good job and charges are comparable to what I pay at home ($70). Dont know about color or cut but the hairdressers seem pretty good on board. I go to a well known Beverly Hills hairdresser for color and cut so price probably wouldnt be a deciding factor (within reason.) If I were you, I would go and take a look at other highlights they have done on passengers if you can before deciding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted March 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2016 If you have had highlights done at home and were happy, I wouldn't change and try it onboard. My hairdresser is a colorist that knows my hair and how it takes to different products. I have no idea what would happen if I went to a new hairdresser. :eek: It could end up a mistake that I'd have to live with for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisersTimesThree Posted March 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I don't think I would let a hairdresser who has never worked with my hair start messing around with color or highlights. I have been with my girl for many years, and even though the prices keep going up and up, I wouldn't think of switching to someone else who has no knowledge of my hair-type, how it takes to color, etc. As someone said above, maybe have your hair washed and blown on evening chic nights. A mani/pedi, a massage, a facial...so many other things you can spend your OBC on, I just wouldn't take a chance with a stranger doing something so drastic to my hair.

CathyCruises Posted March 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I wouldn't even consider it. First of all there's the whole knowing and understanding your hair issue, and I think the price would be absolutely exorbitant. I pay $125 for cut and color here at home and that's with the most expensive person in town and she does a great job but thats at the very top of my price range. I can't even imagine how much they would charge on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted March 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2016 One of the problems with having major hair work done on a cruise is there's no recourse if you're unhappy. You can't go back and ask them to fix it later! We had a lot of OBC on our last cruise. I wound up buying this year's makeup in the shops. As others have suggested, maybe take advantage of the spa ... I usually have an acupuncture treatment, massage, pedicure, facial .... getting jealous of you just thinking about it!
