Well for starters you can't tell her that she is "too expensive". The truth is she wouldn't be charging these prices if noone was paying them because she would have no clients. Someone must be paying her. However, you must have a heart to heart talk with her and tell her that there is no way you can afford these rates. If you put it that way it takes the blame off her and she will understand. That way you guys may be able to work something out since you are a freind of the family. Take it from a hairdresser, don't just leave her without talking to her about it first though...there are people you work out special arrangements with. Just remember to be tackful with your choice of words. Good luck with the conversation...I know it can be uncomfortable.

Well it depends...is she worth it? I got a haircut from a designer place in Boston and it WAS worth it, even if it was expensive. If she is good enough, then you can just ask her if she can lower the price a little, because you have to make a living. Imagine if you ever have kids and you still go to her, you would have to pay like $300. Switch for a little and if you don't like your new hairdresser, then go back. Maybe you can go to her when you are getting it styled or you are in desperate need for a nice cut. Hope this helps

Your friend has the right to charge what she wants for her services. You also have the right to decide how much you're willing to pay for a haircut. Just tell your friend that the price increase means you can't afford her service anymore, and you don't want to disrespect her by asking for discounts, so you're in the market for a new stylist. If indeed a friend, she'll understand.

tell her that, while you're very happy with her work, her new prices are a bit of of your comfort zone. if she is bold enough to ask friends to pay that amount of cash, then she should be professional enough to manage a business relationship with you.
btw, that is an outragous price for a cut. i've had cheaper cuts from the best salons in la and san francisco. you are getting taken.

i would just look other places. If she ever asked you why you stopped going to her, tell her the haircut price was to much for you.
