I called a hairdressers today to book an appointment for a normal (three or four inches off) haircut. As I don't "know" the salon, I asked how much it would be, she said £32. I was a bit put off by the price and asked how much it would be for a dry cut, and she said "we don't do dry cuts"
Huh? So it's physically impossible for them NOT to wash your hair when you go in?
So I asked why not, and she went and asked someone else in the salon, came back and said "erm... well we don't have to wash your hair but the price would be the same"
It's ludicrous. I know hairdressers have to make their money, that isn't the issue, I don't mind them getting paid for what they do, but surely they don't expect people to pay an extra £10-£15 for something that isn't going to happen? It doesn't make sense.
Didn't hairdressers used to do dry cuts? Is it just one or two crazy salons round here? (I got the "no dry cuts" answer a couple of years ago at another salon and ended up giving in and having a wash and blowdry- needless to say I had more disposable income back then)
Seems nuts to me, anyway.

AIBU?
to want a dry haircut, and to have the option of not having to pay for someone to wash my hair two hours after I've washed it and blowdried it myself?
