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!"
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.
I usually always get the kids done with mine and it's $75 for the 5 of us and I get a wash and blowdry as well, but I have been going to the same place for years so I think they give me a bit of a discount. But I did have to take the boys to the barber for theirs the other day and it was $10 for DS2 and $17 for DS1 - both had short back and sides done. $10 is pretty good and still way less than what you'd get charged in a salon if she is having a proper cut and not just a trim
