Rant: That client who asked me to fix her hair after a box dye disaster at 7 PM on a Friday

Had this woman come in last week, her hair was this weird orange-brown patch mess from a drugstore box. She expected me to just slap toner on it and call it good in 20 minutes. I told her straight up it would take at least 2 hours and cost $150 minimum to even it out. She huffed and said 'my cousin does it for $40 at home.' So why are you here? Has anyone else had someone argue about pricing after they already messed up their own hair?

Wait, her cousin does hair AND taxes for $40? Is she getting a discount on the color correction if she also signs up for an IRA? That's wild to me that someone would argue pricing after they already proved they can't do it themselves. Like ma'am, you came to a professional for a reason, the cousin price is what got you that orange mess on your head in the first place. Some people really think we just wave a magic wand and everything costs $20.

Did that cousin also do her taxes and root canal her too? I swear people think hair just magically fixes itself if you throw enough conditioner at it.

Did you tell her that cousin's price comes with the same patchy results she already has, @baker.christopher?
