After moving to Valencia six months ago, I recently got a haircut and found that prices here are similar to what I experienced in Madrid, though there’s quite a variation depending on the type of salon. Today I’ll share what I’ve learned about haircut prices in Valencia, along with information on Valencia battery prices.
Basic Haircut Price Range
In Valencia, standard barbershops typically charge between 10 to 25 euros for men’s haircuts, while women’s haircuts range from 20 to 50 euros. The corner shop I regularly visit charges 15 euros for men and 28 euros for basic women’s cuts, which is quite affordable. If you go to those well-decorated salons in the city center, prices usually start at 30 euros and up.
Here’s a breakdown of approximate prices for different services:
| Service | Price Range | Notes |
|---|
| Men’s Basic Haircut | 10-25€ | Excluding wash |
| Women’s Basic Haircut | 20-50€ | Including wash and blow-dry |
| Hair Coloring | 40-120€ | Depending on hair length |
| Perm Service | 60-150€ | Including cut and styling |
| Children’s Haircut | 8-15€ | Under 12 years old |
Features of Different Tier Salons
Street-side Small Shops are usually the most affordable option, many being family-run establishments that have been around for years. The technique is actually quite good, though the environment is relatively simple. There’s a barbershop downstairs from my apartment run by an Italian immigrant for over 20 years, with excellent skills charging only 12 euros for men’s haircuts.
Mid-range chain salons like Llongueras or Marco Aldany offer moderate pricing, comfortable environments, and you can usually book online. For reference, Valencia housing prices vary by district. I’ve tried them several times - the service is fairly standardized, you won’t have a bad experience but nothing particularly outstanding either.
Money-Saving Tips
If you want to save money, consider visiting a hairdressing school. Valencia has several beauty training schools that offer student practice services at half the normal price or even less. Although students perform the service, teachers supervise closely, and friends who’ve tried it say the results are quite good.
Many salons offer discounts on weekdays, especially during off-peak hours like Monday to Wednesday mornings. Last time I went on a Tuesday morning, I got a 20% discount and saved several euros. You can also check deal websites that occasionally feature salon discount coupons.
My Personal Recommendation
Honestly, when it comes to haircuts, finding the right stylist for you is key. While price matters, skill and communication are more important. I now regularly visit a small shop in the Ruzafa district that charges 25 euros, but the stylist understands my style preferences perfectly and I’m always satisfied. I once tried a 10-euro shop to save money and ended up wearing hats for two months.
I suggest newcomers to Valencia ask neighbors or colleagues for recommendations, or check reviews on Google Maps along with Valencia cost of living information. Many salons offer first-time customer discounts, so you can try several to find the best fit. Overall, haircut prices in Valencia are mid-range for Spain - cheaper than Barcelona, slightly more expensive than smaller cities, but generally acceptable.
