So before you jump to immediately saying I am being unreasonable I just want to confirm that I don’t think people should under sell a trade and their time and skills are worth the price they want to charge.
My friend is a hairdresser, she earns 50% of whatever she charges her client (other 50% goes to the salon and I assume she has use of their products).
I have hair extensions which require regular refit and I go to her directly, I drive to hers at a time and day that suits her (I’ll use my lunch hour) and she still charges me salon prices. It costs £80 for a refit and £30 for a trim - so instead of making £55 from me if I’d go to the salon she’s now making £110.
Aibu to think as a friend she could do it cheaper? I don’t mean she should charge me 50% but just reduce it to 75% - then she’s still earning more than she actually would have done. It’s cash in hand and the only material she’s using (apart from scissors) is tape which I know she just takes from the salon and she’s not even using water or electricity.
Am I being really unreasonable here?
