A close friend has recently opened her own hairdressing salon.
She's done my hair twice now - she's a bloody good hairdresser and I wanted to support my friend, but she won't let me pay.
The first time I'd helped her out painting, bit of baby sitting, etc, while she was setting up so she said it was to say thank you. That was fine.
I went again yesterday to sort my roots out and have a trim but she still insisted on doing it for nothing. I have highlighted, dyed hair so we're not talking about a quick 5 minute trim
I feel really awkward, like I'm taking advantage and I wish she'd at least let me pay for the hair dye but she won't - I sneaked £20 in her tip jar in the end
DH thinks I'm being daft, and she herself said I do her plenty of favours and not to worry about it, but this is her business. While I'm in there she's turning away paying customers, and incurring costs for the stuff she's using on my hair, so I just feel really guilty about accepting the freebie.
AIBU? I don't want to take the piss.
Half of me wants to go elsewhere but I that would just offend her
