  • Zagreb residents shared recommendations for women's haircuts costing between €12 and €21, including services without washing or styling.
  • Other users cited higher prices, including €29 for medium-length hair and as much as €80 for a basic cut at one salon.
  • The discussion reflected complaints about rising prices and differing experiences with salons and hair products.

A Zagreb woman turned to Reddit with a practical question: is there still a women's hairdresser in the capital who cuts hair for around €20? She said location was not important and joked that she needed someone to repair bangs she had “personally massacred.”

The replies produced several lower-cost recommendations. One user said she paid €12 for a cut without washing or styling at Vrbik, or €20 with both services, praising the hairdresser as “excellent.” Another recommended a hairdresser working from a garage, where the haircut reportedly comes with coffee and a biscuit.

Quite okay.

A salon near Stara Trešnjevka Park was also mentioned. One woman said the hairdresser had cut her hair there twice for €21 and that the result was “quite okay.” A salon in Dugave was reported to charge €29 for medium-length hair, although the commenter assumed trimming bangs would cost less.

Excellent haircut.

The discussion also revived complaints about much higher prices in Zagreb. One woman said a former hairdresser now charged €80 for a basic cut on straight, long hair without styling, while a nearby salon charged €60. She acknowledged that materials had become more expensive but questioned whether the service justified the price.

Another commenter accused salons of using poor-quality products and changing prices depending on which shampoo customers chose. Večernji List noted that Reddit users' comments do not represent the editorial staff's views or the majority opinion.

I personally massacred them.
