I need some enlightenment here. In the first panel, she intones she was already coloring her hair (since she was unhappy with how it was growing out), no? Why would the cost of a new but different color be any different than the coloring she was already getting?
A close friend kept having her hair dyed, pretending it wasn’t going gray—in her 60s! She thought darker hair looked more professional. I’ve just let mine do whatever it wants, and I was equally successful in the same profession.
I suspect our different approaches come from our different types of hair. Hers is straight, so she’s always had to choose between letting it hang kind of lank or paying for elaborate cuts. Mine’s crazy-curly, so I’ve always just had a trim now and then and let it do as it pleased… including turning kind of gray now that I’m in my late 70s.

Lightening and toning dark hair while keeping it healthy is a huge process.
If the stylist got Janis to her natural gray in one visit, she’s ended the cost of monthly root touch-ups.

I stopped coloring my hair 5 years ago. One less thing to worry about.

Covid brought out the natural hair color in lots of folks and obviously saved them a bunch of money along the way.
