How to break with hairdresser?

I would tell her the truth. You have been a loyal customer for a long time. She will want to know and will be pleased you are changing for purely financial reasons. She may even offer to do your hair in her spare time for a lower price. Definitely tell her the truth.

I think you should be honest with her and explain your situation. As you have been such a loyal customer, and the fact that she is a friend of your son and his wife, she may offer a compromise. You could go less frequently, or just have a wet cut, rather than a cut & blow dry? I hope it works out for you.

I agree.. just tell her that you really appreciate her as a hairdresser but the cost is no longer possible now that your circumstances have changed.. of course she won't be offended.. she must know you very well by now..

Do you go to her or her come to you? If I was you I would just compromise and don’t get it cut as regular she might ask why then you can tell her your just trying to economise.

I told my hairdresser that when she decided to back to working in a salon, rather than coming to my home, I wouldn’t be going to her anymore. She was lovely about it, said she totally understood my reason and thanked me for my custom. It was absolutely fine. Good luck, I’m sure it will be for you too.

I have the opposite problem…I think my hairdresser is trying to break up with me 😭

I would tend to be honest about it and as you have known for some time, I imagine she would understand.

I was an absolute coward and just disappeared to another hairdresser after covid. I feel a bit bad about that so possibly be braver than I was.

Are you nicking the hair care products to 'use later'

😂😂
If she asks me if I want a drink, I have five sherries and outstay my welcome 😉

In all seriousness, I think she wants to retire

I’m sure your hair dresser will be fine OP but I do understand your predicament

I changed last year as my hairdresser put her prices up again I simply told her I couldn’t afford it any more and went to another who was £20 cheaper and cut it better
Be honest

OP - £11:50 for ?wash&blowdry.Wow this is cheap- . I buy a course of 6 which averages out @£18:30. .. I don’t go every week but more every 10/11days - this is my only luxury and love the salon - very chatty team and friendly to everyone 👌

EllaMary worked out that it came to £11.50 a week it doesn’t mean she has it cut every week Bea if she has it cut monthly which most people do then she’s paying £46 a hair cut

So, how much do people pay for a cut and blowdry these days?

I have a cut, colour and finish for £90

Every 12 weeks I suppose
I’m not sure how much that works out to a week.

£6.92 apparently

Nottalking about colour JaneJudge- just cut and blow. Colour is always expensive (and how glad I am I have accepted my salt and pepper look).

Over 20 years ago a local hairdresser was charging me the same amount .
I wasn't even thrilled with her efforts .
It was far too expensive and I stopped booking appointments .
Your situation is difficult as you've gone to the same one for so many years and she's best friends with your family .
I'd take a deep breath and tell her .

As others have already said, just be honest and say that you need to switch since your circumstances have changed, they will appreciate the honesty and then it doesn't give cause for any issues with your family members.

Cut and blow dry £18 and I have it done every 5 weeks
She cuts it exactly as I like it been going about a year and very very satisfied

I'd let your son know at the same time.
