    Wow wheres your friend.. if i go to even the 'cheap' places here it costs me $15 for DD1's hair, it honestly took the lady less than 5min last time and i didn't even get a smile.

    I think $10 is a great price even if it is from a friend, i guess a price rise isn't general conversation so she may not have thought to forewarn you.

    I agree with ZF!! If I only had to pay $10 per child, they'd get haircuts more regularly!! We go to just cuts and I think we paid $15 each child last time. Mind you DS's hair is not easy to cut, he screams like someones cutting his ears off!

    I pay $15 at the local salon express for DS. My own hairdresser will do his hair for $10 but I prefer not to take him with me nowadays. He gets bored and the hairdresser is me time

    I pay $10 at my hairdresser. She takes far less than 1/2 an hour, she has a racing car chair and lots of toys for the boys and they get a lollypop at the end. If it was much more than that I would probably go back to doing it myself. lol.
    If I had a hairdresser friend then I would probably try to go to them, but not if it was far less convenient. Do whichever is easiest for you.

    Eluned, I would never take DS with me to the hairdresser. We make a special trip for his haircut. I really need a haircut though, so might call and book myself in right now.

    We used to pay $7.50 last year but it's been bumped up to $10.50 now.
    DH usually does DS' hair with his clippers until we had a mishap and DH took a chunk of hair out of the back of DS head
    All I heard him say was "Oh no, Mum is going to kill me!"

    Thanks heaps for all the responses so far.

    So $10 is pretty good then!!!
    I suppose I have to decide whether to do the hairdresser thing at a time convenient to me or stay with my friend and when she is available. Hope she's not offended if I don't ask her again.
