Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand - Part 5

[the_interloper]

Are you telling me you're a prick or just a dumb****?



Easy to tell people to calm down when it's their livelihood, and it's an argument that they have every single day of their working life.


OP's daughter has cheaper options available, just as my clients have AI options available to them.

Use them if you want.

Don't devalue my worth, and don't expect my price to be competitive with your shitty cheapo option that I guarantee won't be as good, and probably won't meet your brief.

And definitely don't expect me to give a rats arse when you end up having to pay me even more to do it last minute, cos you tried to cheap out on it, wasted all the time you had, and got a product that you couldn't use.

It probably became half my work in 2024; in December I literally only had to work 5 days...

Most of my job now is providing last minute, exorbitantly priced creative services from people in a bind, who need the job done yesterday, because they thought they could do it cheaper. (My favourite is when they come to me the day before they need it and want me to do for the price I quoted them 6 weeks ago.)

The point I'm making is that the OP has multiple options:

• pay the $780
• find a cheaper option

Disrespecting and devaluing the work of the hair stylist is neither of those options, it's extremely disrespectful, and I'm beyond stunned at how many of you are lining up to tell someone else what their work is worth.

You guys must be great in your loser office jobs when you're negotiating. "Yeah, I'll just take whatever you want to pay me, I'm sure it'll be fine!" Classic bootlicker behaviour.

This is the best

Twice the price of your best cut/colour/blow wave deal!

That was so odd. Fitting for the thread.

You expect a punch on like this in the Israel/Palestine thread or the Maccas/Mackers thread but not here!

I'm hoping you havent engaged in any of the teacher threads or discussions then

I don't think I have, I'm not sure why you've posited this as though I have.

Don't really have an opinion on teachers (or their holidays). My mother is a teacher. And I usually try not to criticise people doing jobs that you couldn't possibly pay me enough to do.

You could literally give me a million dollars and I wouldn't spend 1 day with 25 children who belong to other people, let alone every day.

Depending how much was used ..
Some people are very hairy.
Time and wax used = how much ..

Hairdressers are more creative these days.
And don't question thier pricing .

If I actually saw a hairdresser during the first five years of my life my folks were getting robbed blind whatever they charged.

 

[JackOutback]

I believe $780 is expensive for a haircut and I believe that to be objectively true. The ‘quote and consult’ is pretty pretentious too. Just because you can do something doesn’t make it right.

 

[Big Bryza]

So anybody getting a hair cut any time soon?

If so, i'll do it for $779.

Wow... yeah me too. I thought 50% of the discussion on this board was pretty much "I need this job done. Tradesperson has quoted me <<$ amount>>. Reasonable?"

As for the steady rise in basic men's haircuts, I reckon it's countered by the frequency I'll get one (might just be because I'm an old fart now). In my late-teens and early 20s (00s), I'd pretty much be going monthly. Now I wouldn't be going even every two months, maybe five times a year.

I'm just grateful that I still do have that "Geez I really need a haircut" moment in the mirror once it's got to 2+ months. With my follicle genes, I've definitely been playing with the house's money for quite a few years now.

My Mum entered me as a model in a hairdressing competition so I could get a free haircut. Without using a bowl the girl managed to recreate that same 'style'. I got my photo in the local paper as one of the prize winners.

A friend recently posted on fb a newspaper picture of her in her mid twenties (now in her 60’s) as the winner of a Maurice Meade hair model competition

It was the worst….
She was screaming with laughter now but at the time she said she went home and hid in her bedroom for days
