[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hairstylists are wilding out lately, I swear.

Mine just upped her prices for a one hour curly cut from $85 to $100. That was hard to swallow, but she does a good job and I hate finding new stylists.

THEN she announced if you go more than 16 weeks between “maintenance haircut” appointments, you have to book a $150 “new client cut.” I think that is a disgusting way to wring money from your clients who can’t afford a $100 haircut every 8 weeks, told her so, and canceled my next appointment. [/quote]

If she said 16 weeks, why did you jump to 8 weeks in your rant?  Is it reasonable to say that for many people, 16 weeks is enough to make the difference between a trim and a full cut that takes more time?    I imagine that many people who stopped getting their hair cut while observing COVID precautions returned to the salon with more time consuming needs.

PP, it’s obviously fine for you to cancel your appointment and go to another salon.  My sympathies though, lean towards the salon. Many closed, or lost a lot of money over the course of the last two years. Some are spending money to reorganize their shops with updated safety precautions.  Many are limiting the number of clients in their spaces  at any one time, when before, they could overlap some services for maximum efficiency, and, as a client, I appreciate the concern for my safety and for their own, and I recognize the financial impact of these types of decisions.

Not when the salon owner goes to those lengths, sorry. You want to force people to go more then every 16 weeks? That doesn't work for me. Particularly when prices for women's haircuts, as basic as the trim may be, are ridiculously more expensive than a similar trim, using the same techniques and utensils, as men's haircut. My husband and son pay less than $25 each for a very good haircut at their barber's. When I just need a trim, meaning something much easier than what my husband and son need, I was quoted $100, at my nearest women's salon. One time I ended up asking the barber. Another time I just did it myself. I reject this gender-biased pricing.
