DD got $300 straigtening and the stylist asked if she wants a trim as well. DD said yes (she should have asked the price, but they didn't volunteer it) and they added another $85 to bill. Anything we can do about it? Can/Should I do anything through credit card?

Whenever I'm offered anything at a salon (even having my hair dried), I ask if it'll be extra. It's like being offered wine with dinner. Just because it's offered, doesn't mean it's comped.

I know it's a lot of money, but they charge what they charge. I'm not familiar with the place, but I know there are some pretty expensive haircuts out there. I don't think you can dispute it. Just teach your daughter how things work, so she won't say yes to anything without asking price.

well if you ask me $300 is a lot to begin with ... and while $85 for a trim is exorbitant - it seems to go with the original price ... you definitely have to ask the price for any such services ... so while they should've mentioned it - you cannot withhold their pay ... that would be stealing ...

Guess it's DD's fault.

it's not really anybody's fault ... it's merely a mistake ... so who is paying for such an expensive haircut and how old is this dd ... can she earn some money towards it ...

Hey, they made an adjustment. They were nice. They cut the price drastically.

I had something similar. when I went there to get my hair blown for my graduation pics, I was told a wash and blow would be $35. it wasn't crazy at that time and u get what u pay for. when I was done, they said would u like for us to put ur hair in a half pony? I said sure. they took exactly two min and 4 bobby pins to do it. I came to the desk (I don't know how much extra) but they claimed that I had a half updo. I said what???? I have seen half updos and my hair was not that. I ended up bargaining down a little but I left with a very bad taste and a lesson learned. I had never been to a fancy place like that before. since then I always ask.

The place I go to get get color and highlights, or , last time, just highlights, they include cut and style in the price. The price of color and highlight is about $120, just highlight is $75, and they both included the cut.

I hack hair for free. As for straightening...I used to use an iron. Burnt my scalp a couple of times. That's the beauty of a shaitel!

Yes, you too can look like a Yeshiva Buchur mit the peyos (to attach the combs to) if you do the bubby-cut. It's pretty freaky though...until it grows I look like "a pea on top of a potato" (MY mother's saying, not about me B"H!!) Then when it's grown I look like a bush on top of a melon.
I LOVE my shaitels
