So this came to me out of left field today.
My hairdresser is also my room mate. Great right? Most of the time it is. But this has been a really hard month, and I let my roots go a little bit because I can't afford to pay $150 for hair right now.
So she's like oh it's cool, just pay me for the product, like $25. I thought that was fantastic, and to show my appreciation, gave her $40.
Today, she tells me that she expected me to give her $100 because she was letting me have the discounted price. She said if I wanted her to keep doing my hair, that is what she would expect.
I was fucking blindsided. The whole reason she gave me the discount was because I couldn't afford it, so how can I afford $100 tip?! And who was I supposed to know that's what she expected?
I'm feeling really hurt about all of it, and am considering going to someone else, even though I love how she does my hair. Thoughts?
