So there was this lady at work that was braiding my daughters hair. The first time she did it I did not even ask her to do it. The second time I asked her to do it and she was like sure no problem. She is doing it on the clock so its not like she is getting NOTHING for doing it as she is doing my daughters hair and I am taking on her work load. But come the third time I still felt kind of bad and I gave her $10 which is also what I paid a friend of mine to do braids in my daughters hair not to mention smaller braids and designs...this lady just did corn rows. Now mind you that she did not ask me for money I was just giving it to her. But after she got done she said to me next time give me $15. I thought she was joking and just laughed it off though it seemed rude to me. But then she did another co-workers daughters hair. This co-worker did not ask her to do her daughters hair either she just did it. CONTINUED...

But when she was done she went up to this co-worker and told her she wanted $15. That she could not be doing these things for free. But she was NOT even asked to do it by my co-worker (whether the co-workers daughter asked her to I do not know but that is not relevant she should have asked the mothers permission especially if asking for money). To me I just feel like it was really rude. First of all to ask me for more money and second to ask someone else in this position for money. Especially since like I said she is on the clock its not like she isnt getting paid and is making more than what we would be paying her anyway and I took on her workload. It really makes me want to use someone else...and pay someone who isnt so rude. I have no problem paying to do my daughters hair just think it was way RUDE. Am I over-reacting??? I really want your opinions!!!

Girl, your coworker is a trip! When I read that you gave her $10, I was like " Man this is one nice lady", but for her to ask for more IS rude. I wouldn't pay that heffa any mind and someone needs to put her in her place. If she is so bored on the job that she wants to braid hair to occupy her time than thats one thing but she has no business hustling people, especially when you're taking over her work load. Hey, a favor for a favor!

Rude yes ... I'm wondering what kind of company allows their workers to braid hair on their time or have children in the building during office hours. Have to say I'd be looking over my shoulder the entire time worrying I might lose my job.
If she was expecting money for her services she should talk about it up front before she even has the girls sit in front of her. 15.00 doesn't sound like much to braid someones hair, but in the work place isn't a wise thing for anyone involved.
If you want her to braid your daughters hair in the future have her do it off company time and give the lady her 15.00.

You're right, that person has no right to be abusing your kindness to her. You should just tell her that she shouldn't be asking for payment and that what you gave her was a one-time thing (explain nicely though, catfights are not necessary). You're co-worker did not ask her to do it either, so she doesn't need to fork over any cash because she did not request any kind of service from that person. You and your co-worker should stay clear of her, and not let her braid your daughters' hair anymore if that's the case. You and you're co-worker have no obligation whatsoever to pay her, (unless of course you ask(ed) her to do it) if she is the one doing it without you asking her to do so.
Hope this helps!

Don't let her do your daughter's hair again. She is stealing from the company she works for by using their time for personal things. You should have told her you would give $15 to the company, as she was doing it on their dime.
Tell her you will not charge her for practicing on your daughter's hair.
You should have known she could not be trusted when she was willing to take advantage of her employer this way. Steer clear of her.
Your question was too long winded for what you were trying to ask, and you still couldn't get to the bottom line.

I guess it really depends on how she stated the statement. Or next time just ask questions like ":..so how much would you really charge a person for... or ...how much do I owe you..." And then pay. This leaves a closure to the situation.
