Not only does it cost a small fortune to have done, but then you need the specialty shampoo and conditioner that protects dye and then moose for the hold... and yes the morning routines of upkeep, this that's why I'm so used to getting up three hours before I need to get to work. Workout and then getting ready. I don't do too much now, but I still dye my dirty blonde full blonde and I still need the shampoo conditioner. And even though I don't do too much, it still costs well over $100 even before tip.
When I was in the Army, I would get jealous of the guys because it would costs them $6 for their buzz cuts. My styling was much cheaper, but still well over $50
