My daughter is a student at the Univ of MD, College Park and walked to the local Hair Cuttery for a haircut. Upon entering she was approached by an Asian woman. She asked her how much she wanted cut and then took her to the back to shampoo her hair. After wetting her hair she then asked her if she wanted shampoo. Then she proceeded to cut the hair. The haircut itself was fine, but then she asked her it she wanted it blow dried. Well, it was about 50 degrees outside so she said yes.
Now, on the sign posted, it states that a shampoo and haircut are $14.00 and a shampoo, haircut and blow dry are $18.00. After being told she wanted it blow drued, the woman went to speak with another hair (cutter) and then told my daughter the total charge would be $38.00. When my daughter questioned the price she was told it was because her hair was long, when she refused to pay $38. She was told she was told she could have a $3.00 discount, but my daughter refused and left with wet hair.
I called the Hair Cuttery the following day and when I asked how much it cost for a shampoo, haircut and blowdry I was asked if I had long or short hair, straight or curly. I then asked what the maximum amount would be for a blow dry and was told "probably about $25.00. I thought Hair Cuttery was a corporation and all salons charged the same price. Are they allowed to charge whatever they feel like even though it isn't what is posted?
