Cracker, it all depends on what type of client John Doe is. Is he a high end client who doesn't really care about money or is he your average Joe who is on some type of budget. Also, you need to analyze your overall customer base. By now, you should know whether or not they would accept such a price increase even though 5-10% is really nothing IMO. I know where you are getting at, but you and I know there are people out there who will spend $200+ for a haircut. Not so much because the stylist does such a great job, but for status reasons instead. And there is the person who pays $200+ and is fine with it because of the service or atmosphere at the salon. You need to show your client why spending more at your establishment/ or in your case using high end products is worth a price increase.
I think it's important to understand why the customer is spending more in the first place. Is it the atmosphere? Is it the stylists? Is it because of their location? Is it the personalized service?
But you're asking someone that cuts his own hair so what do I know?

I hate paying more than 5 bucks for a haircut. I end up paying like 13 bucks because the place is 1 mile from the house. The most I'd pay for a haircut is what ever the cheapest would be.

that is not true at all silverknight.
if a person is going to the salon, paying $$$ for an haircut, should they be using the best shampoo already? i know paul mitchell only goes to select salons, so, maybe you should carry them but to charge more? i think the amout you end up charging them will cover that fee. why not just split the cost. 2.5% each side.

Kekoa: Paul Mitchell is stingy with volume discount, because they know they are elite.
DKhl: Paul Mitchell Shampoo is 35% more than Mr. Alexander pays for GOLDWELL, or KMS.

just up the prices 
it.
when the customer ask's why say, Because I'm Rick James bitch, I can do that!, they will laugh at the reference to Dave Chappelle, buy the overpriced product and everyone will be happy
