Okay, I'm a bit tight with money and hate paying more than I have too.

I usually take my kids to one of the mums in my mothers group who is a hairdresser. She has charged me $5 each in the past and it takes her about 1/2 hour.

Well she just doubled her price, now to $10 each. Still took the same time and it's cash in hand for her. My local hairdresser costs the same and I can go at a time that suits me rather than fitting in with my friend.

Writing this seems a little petty......I know......I suppose I should be supporting my friend, but I think I was just so surprised that she sprung the price rise on me without warning.

What do you pay, and who do you go to? Local, out of area, out of home or other?
