To tell my mum she's taking the piss?

[KungFuPandaWorksOut]

I'm a hairdresser who is currently on Mat leave. My mum meets up with her old university friends a couple of times a year and makes a night of it. She asked at the weekend could I do her hair and four of her friends hair for Tonight. I told her no problem but I will charge her friends but not salon price ( I always do my mums for free) she asked me do I know how much it would cost. I told her without exactly knowing what they want doing I wouldn't be able to give a price. She said she thinks majority will have a wash,cut and blow and maybe an updo. I told her call it £15.00 each then if they don't have updo £10. She said that's brilliant.
Now ive just recieved a text off my mum saying how excited her and her girls are to have a "pampering" with me and such a bargain for only £30.
I am so annoyed that my mums pulled this stunt. But now she's told her friends it's £30 collectively so I'm going to look a massive twat saying no it's £15 each if you have an updo!
Would IBU to tell her to piss off
She's due at 3 o'clock and I'm half tempted not too answer the door!!

Sounds like your mums web of lies is going to unravel pretty quickly when it becomes clear that your baby is fine and that she and the friend have both had their hair done!

I hate manipulative people who pull shit like this :(

Can't believe your mum thought that £7.50 was an acceptable price for having your hair done.

Wonder why she thought it was up to her to decide?

Unless it was a genuine mistake, but then you just admit it & if friends think it's too pricey, then they decline!

Cheeky bloody mare!!

"Accidentally" shave her head.

Can you do mine as well if I come round!

I'll give you £15 without an updo

I can't get over how cheeky and selfish she is!!!

Sees to me your DM has done everyone out of a good deal. Her friends have missed a very cheap hairdo and you've lost income. When the friend asks after your baby I hope you look puzzles and say, 'great thanks.'

Such an odd thing to do.

Dare you to give her an undercut

Or just cut a chunk of the front off at the root

Keep us posted!

Are you sure she didn't tell them £30 each instead of £15 so you'd make a nice profit?

I'm actually wondering if she made a genuine if not very silly mistake. She seems to have halved the price you quoted. You did say you'd do it for half didn't you? If you always do her hair maybe she thinks £15 and £10 is full price.

Maybe it's just me being over sensitive but I'd be pretty upset if my Mum lied my baby was ill. Like some horrible karma/ tempting fate thing.

Rosie, what a beautiful story. Am in tears

Hoping she hasn't turned up with them all.

Oh Rosie, that is so very lovely

That's a lovely story Rosie and goes to show there are kind people all around, especially when we least expect it.
True words about not taking things and people for granted, too.

That's me as well BummyMummy77 and why I wouldn't lie about an illness.

oh Rosie, you've made me well up

rosie that's a beautiful story. Most hairdressers feel honoured when doing hair when it's related to cancer/cancer charity, simply because how much people value their hair.

My DM turned up with two friends in tow. One being the one going through the divorce and couldn't afford my excessive rates
I told my mum which friend will be joining her, for her hair to be done and which is being a spectator. Mrs Excessive rates huffed and puffed and said she won't have her hair done then and couldn't understand why I couldnt "squeeze" her in.
My DH made a point of keep pottering in with baby in tow who was happily gurgling away. Friend who had hair done gave me £15, Mum ushered her friends to the car and then asked for a "private" word.
She said I embarrassed her by not doing Mrs excessive rates hair, she couldn't understand why I just couldn't do her four friends hair for £30, it wasn't as if I was doing colour on their hair. So I technically wouldn't be down any money
I told her if that's how she feels, try and go to a salon as a party of five and expect the same treatment that I was offering for £30 and watch yourself get laughed out of the salon. I also told her I won't be doing her hair for free anymore if that's how she feels.
I've never felt so insulted in my bloody life

Well done for sticking to your guns!

Good God. Is your mother always like this, OP? Because this is completely, absolutely unacceptable.
