How far are you ready to go to get a good deal on a haircut? This woman decided to travel across the world after her local hairdresser quoted a high price to cut and bleach her hair.
According to a mirror.co.uk, Bryn Elise was quoted a whopping $4,000 (Rs 3.12 lakh) in her hometown in the US. Bryn said that her usual salon had asked her to pay such a high price for the hair treatment so instead she flew to Turkey to get her hair done.

The same procedure in Turkey cost her $450 (Rs 35,000). Ms Elise travelled over 6,000 miles to get to her hair appointment. She posted a video on TikTok which shows her catching flights, getting a haircut, and spending a two-week holiday in Turkey. She claims that it cost less than the quote she got from her local salon.
She wrote on her viral clip: "When you get quoted $4000 to get your dream hair in the US so you fly to Turkey and get it done there instead. It cost less including my two-week vacation here."
The TikToker, who frequently posts travel content, also said that her hairdressers back home in the US weren't "trying to rip her off," but that the highly-quoted price was too much for her to pay.
She explained: "First off, I love my salon in the US - they do an amazing job. But $4,000 for anything is enough to make my jaw drop so I went looking for alternatives."

"I paid $450 plus tip in Turkey for 8 hours of blonding, toning, and high-quality 24¡± hair extensions for my super thick hair! No, my salon in the US wasn¡¯t trying to rip me off, I¡¯ve been going to them for years and they¡¯ve been slowly increasing their prices to keep up with demand. But when they raised extension prices for my colour, length and amount from $2000 to $3000, I figured with the colour I needed, treatments and tip it would come out to be over $4000 and that¡¯s why I chose Turkey," she said.
She added that she chose Turkey after coming across her "favourite hair inspiration picture" and finding the stylist who created the look who lived in the country.
She said: "I took a look at my favourite 'hair inspiration picture' I had saved on Instagram, saw that the stylist who did it lives in Turkey and thought, if I¡¯m going to spend a small fortune on my hair I might as well get it done by my dream stylist! Two months later, I made it to Turkey, got my dream hair done by my dream stylist for $450 and fell in love with this beautiful country along the way!"
