Ladies haircuts in Pretoria: prices by hair length
A ladies haircut at the Soma Blow Wave Bar in Pretoria costs R210 for short hair, R295 for medium, R340 for long and R380 for extra long hair. These are cut-only prices. You can add a blow wave to any ladies cut for R100, so you leave styled and ready.
How much is a haircut in Pretoria at the Blow Wave Bar?
The ladies cut menu is priced by hair length, with four bands. The price below is for the cut on its own.
- Ladies Cut, ShortR210
- Ladies Cut, MediumR295
- Ladies Cut, LongR340
- Ladies Cut, Extra LongR380
Most people like to walk out with their new cut dried and styled, rather than wet or rough-dried. That is what the R100 blow wave add-on is for. The table shows what each length comes to with and without it.
| Hair length | Cut only | Cut + blow wave |
|---|---|---|
| Short | R210 | R310 |
| Medium | R295 | R395 |
| Long | R340 | R440 |
| Extra Long | R380 | R480 |
Why do ladies haircuts cost more for longer hair?
Longer hair typically takes more time at every step: more sections to comb out, more length to cut and check for balance, and more hair to dry and finish. Thick or very dense hair can add to that time as well. Pricing by length keeps the menu simple and means you are not paying the same for a quick trim on a short crop as someone with hair to the middle of their back.
Your stylist confirms which length band applies when you arrive, so if you are unsure whether you sit between two bands, simply ask when you book.
How often should you get a haircut?
There is no single rule, and it depends on the style you wear and what you want from it. As general guidance:
- Short, precise cuts such as pixies and sharp bobs often lose their shape quickest, and many people book every four to six weeks.
- Medium lengths and layered cuts are often refreshed every six to ten weeks to keep the layers sitting well.
- Long hair that you are growing out may only need a trim every eight to twelve weeks, mainly to tidy the ends.
- If your ends feel dry, split or tangle easily, that is usually a sign it is time, whatever the calendar says.
If you are growing your hair, tell your stylist. A light trim that removes only the damaged ends is a different job from a full restyle, and it helps to be clear about the result you want.
How do I explain the haircut I want?
A few minutes of conversation at the start of the appointment makes a big difference. Many people find these steps useful:
- Bring two or three photos of cuts you like, and one of a cut you do not want.
- Say how much time you spend styling your hair each morning, and be honest about it.
- Mention anything your hair does on its own: a cowlick, natural wave, frizz or a parting that will not sit.
- Show with your hands where you want the length to fall, as 'a little off' means different things to different people.
Should I book a cut only, or a cut and blow wave?
A cut only suits you if you are happy to dry and style your hair yourself, or you are heading straight home. Adding the R100 blow wave makes sense before an event, a work function or a weekend away, or simply when you want to see the full shape of the new cut styled properly before you leave. Many people also find it useful to watch how the stylist dries and shapes the cut, so they can repeat it at home.
On its own, the blow wave menu lists a Volume Blow Wave at R290 for all lengths. Ask which price applies with your cut when you book.
How can I make my haircut last longer?
A good cut grows out more gracefully when the hair is looked after. General habits that many people find help:
- Use a heat protectant before blow drying, straightening or curling.
- Detangle gently from the ends upwards, rather than dragging a brush from the roots.
- Sleep on a smooth pillowcase or tie long hair loosely at night to reduce tangles.
- Use the home-care products your stylist recommends, as the right routine supports the cut between visits.
If frizz, dryness or damage is part of the reason you want a cut, mention it. The Blow Wave Bar can recommend a treatment or product to go with your cut, such as one of the Inoar basin treatments.
Can I get a cut and colour together?
Yes. The colour menu is also priced by length, and after any colour service you can add a blow wave for R200 or a cut and blow wave for R290. Here is how a full tint compares across lengths, as one example:
- Full Tint, ShortR450
- Full Tint, MediumR590
- Full Tint, LongR760
- Full Tint, Extra LongR890
The full colour menu, including foils, balayage and toner, is on the main Blow Wave Bar page and explained in the colour posts below.
What about kids and men?
Children under 14 have their own kiddies menu, with girls and boys cuts at R190 each. Men's cuts and colour are on the gent's menu, with a gent's cut at R250.
