hairdresser rip off

'If you didn't check the price up front or argue the toss when it came to paying and you were not happy with the bill then you were not ripped off. QED as far as I'm concerned'

Clubman not going to keep arguing already annoyed enough today
but for the last time I did argue the toss as i said in my posts below and I was aware of the price I should have been charged not the one I was eventually charged.

I queried the price when presented with the bill and then complained both to the stylist involved and their manager -All i got was ripped off

You entered into a contract without asking the price. This was asking for trouble.
 
Did you ask the stylist for a "restyle"? This would, in my opinion, form the basis of the implied contract.

No I didnt ask for a restyle -I just asked for a cut I told the stylist I wanted exactly the same just shorter

Perhaps I can explain things just a little clearer for clubman
Say you take your car for a car wash
You request a car wash and then come back to pick up your car
You are then charged for a valet and are told that this is because the mud on the car took a bit longer to clean off then on other washes.
You are charged for a service you have not received nor requested

You have not entered into any contract except the original one for the wash

You never asked the price of the car wash. Big mistake.
 
no clubman you are deliberately picking this up incorrectly at this stage
The price of the main service is not what i am querying what I have a problem with is the additional charges for services that were not provided
If you can provide some helpful suggestions that would be great
If your only purpose in responding is simply to troll and have the last word in this then this is a waste of everyones time Thanks

As I have said before, agree the work to be done and the price to be paid up front to avoid any confusion. If additional work not requested is carried out or is alleged to have been carried out and an attempt is made to charge for this then don't pay it. Simple really. Not my problem if you can't recognise this as constructive feedback and prefer to dismiss it as trolling.
 
Was a rip off. Name and shame I say...Name and shame and never go back there!!! (am joking about the name and shame btw)

Have I missed out or do we know where in the country this happened.... not that it matters as this is a rip off for sure!
how can these people sleep at night?

 

I have to say I have never asked how much it's going to cost to get an extra inch off my hair. That is simply ridiculous. Maybe men might ask those kind of things but certainly us ladies don't. I know in the salon where I go it is cheaper for a cut & colour if your hair is short rather than long. I can understand the the colour element but I would consider a lot more time and effort goes in to cutting my hair when it's short. I know a girl who uses the same hairdressers as me and she was charged a huge amount to have her fringe trimmmed (can't remember exactly how much but it was a lot). She rang afterwards to query it and she was told that if you had long hair it was one price and short hair another price (long hair being dearer). She was agog at this as she only got her fringe cut and does it really matter how long or short the rest of your hair is if you're only getting your fringe trimmed. It's taking the mick if you ask me.
 
Ever since being charged over 1000Fr in Lyon in 1986 I always ask before the scissors and combs come out how much it will cost to do the cut/restyle/colour etc.. requested. In my experience anything that invloves trimming off more than a centimetre constitutes a "restyle" !

Why exactly is it ridiculous? Not asking and then being annoyed/surprised when the bill is presented to you is even more ridiculous in my opinion.
 
''Why exactly is it ridiculous? Not asking and then being annoyed/surprised when the bill is presented to you is even more ridiculous in my opinion''.

Clubman, It's ridiculous because a lot of ladies go to the same hairdresser and have some relationship of trust with them. Sure we can query or dispute something before, or afterwards!
 
That'd be another instance of the [broken link removed], I'm guessing?

You can't put a price on that!

I'll thank you to withdraw that vicious slur, Madam...

I'd a 'hairdresser rip-off' moment myself the other day. I cut my hair, refused to pay myself, and didn't even leave a feckin' tip!

 
hi everyone

I am still trying to get over the shock of the price of what my girlfriend paid for an upstyle for a wedding last saturday, She went in at 9.35 and was out by 9.55 and was 60 euros lighter in the pocket, just wondering is this the price to pay for this kind of hairstyle, Her hair is sholder length and was washed the night before so it was just put up, thanks
