I think, strictly, that they don't do children's discounts at the weekends (as they did actually cut her hair). They probably don't do pensioner discounts either as Saturdays must be their day of peak demand - and they would want to use price to move demand to less busy times.


If they advertised discounts for children without indicating restrictions then they are at fault. But if you didn't yourself confirm this with them (assuming they weren't advertising discounts on Saturdays) then I'm not sure they can be blamed. Taking overheads, employers NI etc. into account your ?35 for 20 minutes probably equates to ?50-60 an hour for a qualified cutter and stylist - which isn't an unreasonable wage for a skilled person. If they are not salaried but are independent (self employed) - as sometimes happens in salons - then again not unreasonable.

Can you remember any signage in their shop? - if there wasn't any then they do appear to have been misleading - did you mention when you booked it was a child's haircut (my wife often makes appointments for my fully grown-up daughters, so it wouldn't necessarily be obvious, unless you stated it, that it was an appointment for a child).

I have not been there in years - left the day having been there for years and put up with "flexible" price structure hairdresser when I asked just for a French plait told me it would be ?30.00 on top of just paying for cut and colour..!!!


Now have another great hair dresser locally where you know exactly what you are paying for..

Dear Sol


We apologise for the misunderstanding on pricing for your daughters hair.We would like to make a goodwill gesture to you if would like to call this number 07570302658 and it will be dealt with.

we do try and tell people on booking, and it has always stated on our Price list that Kids, Teenies and Student prices are Monday-Thursday only.

I would like to say we always have encouraged "All the Family" to our salons but we cannot afford to discount services at the weekends.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Kind Regards, Jo Partridge

Dear Penquin68

Thank you for your post.

As you mention our overheads, especially our Business rates are a factor when taking these decisions.

Also if clients start to bring very young children into salons on a weekend when busy we do get complaints from other clients that they are paying to have a quiet time away from their own children!!Its very hard to please everybody!!

Having said that the young girl that came on Saturday wasn't a very young child!!

Kind regards, Jo Partridge

Dear Beansprout

I'm sorry you felt that way but plaits/hair up are always extra as they take more time.

Our price list has always been graded due to experience of Stylists as are most salons.

I believe our prices are competitive and we do run promotions throughout the year on varied services which give everybody a chance to have a bargain!! So to speak!!

We use the best products we possibly can in our salons but its becoming increasingly difficult with all the outgoings for small business now...

We hope to see you again,

Regards, Jo Partridge

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
