i have been going to my hairdresser for around two and a half years now. she is a mobile hair dresser but wouldnt come to me as i was too far so i go to her house.
when i first started going she was great but slowly over the past year she is spending more and more time on the phone planning her social life while doing my hair and doesnt always fit me in on a saturday cos she expects me to come on a thu or fri when im off work but i have a 19 months old baby and 3 hours at a house not equipped for kids is hard for her.
how do i get out of going to this woman without bad feeling as i could easily bump into her in our small towm. im due baby number two in april so i want to go with another mobile hair dresser who will come to me. she wouldnt be any worse than the one i have now.

Say to her you will have to rearrange it to be in your house due to number 2 arriving and that it will need to be a weekend. If she says no, then you say regrettably you will have to look elsewhere for future cuts

Just don't book another appointment.

DrRichandNimble · 27/02/2011 19:47

the point of a mobile hairdresser is that they come to you. If she is unable to do that she can't really be offended if you go elsewhere.

just don't book any more.

Just go elsewhere. If you do happen to bump into her just say it is more convenient for someone to come to your house.

im such a coward but feel like im being ripped off. going to grow some balls and tell her straight. do you think a text message is out of the question or should i phone her up or tell her to her face. i hate this sort of stuff.

You don't need to apologize or explain yourself at all. Don't text her, honestly.

If you bump into her and she asks, just be pleasant and breezy and say that you needed someone who could come to you. Then change the subject.

PepsiPopcorn · 04/03/2011 16:28

Agree with BitOfFun. Just say you need someone who can come to you.

Why do you have to tell her anything? Or are you friends and see each other socially or something?

I would just sort myself out elsewhere and if she asks just tell her the truth, that you need someone who would come to you and you know that she can't.

I don't see the problem tbh.

If it is purely a business arrangement then you don't need to tell her - just don't rebook.
If she asks tell her that you need someone who can come to you (on the day you want) and as she can'r do that you are looking elsewhere.

If it is a friend or a friend of a friend ......don't know! (Ask me who does my hair!)
