That's not why black salons charge so much. They charge so much because they have to pay minimum wage, unlike the Asians. Their technicians have to be licensed. They need certain insurances. They get inspected regularly and therefore have to spend money staying up to code. As Americans, we have what they call 'a higher barrier of entry' to starting businesses. Illegals be doing any ol kinda shyt and getting away with it. Here, Mexicans be out here cooking tamales on the damn side walk, but little black girls can't sell lemonade cuz the police on they ass.
About men wanting to spend that money, yeah... I think it's a leftover from the 'provide and protect' days. Courtship includes spending on your lady. Don't deny him his joy, girl. Let that man cook.
