The Dogmother Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 That's a lot Laura. I had a conversation about this with my hairdresser once; people who can do 'hair up' can charge a lot, there aren't many people who can or want to do it. They make a fortune for weddings and balls. I'm obviously in the wrong job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 i know, same here!! i need to start retraining immediatley. i really dont know how they can justify all the cash for a few bobby pins and a bit of hairspray. outragous. if only i could make a neat job of it myself!

The Dogmother Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I can do french plaits because I used to have very long hair, but it takes me ages to get them looking right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Its a real licence to print money. I think I might retrain as a plasterer Sorry Laura that is not much help to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I still can't get over my Toni & Guy experience a couple of weeks ago Every time I check the credit card statement online, there it is! £122 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 My plasterer can afford fancy foreign holidays, I can't; there's something wrong there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 My daughter loves her hair in french plaits, and because she does a lot of dancing she has the ideal style for that.... long all over, no fringe, no shorter bits (to be easily s"Ooops, word censored!"ed back off the face), and I have tried time and again to french plait it...... whatever I do it looks dreaful. I have zero ability at french plaiting I wish I could do it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I wish mine was long enough! I've only been growing it from VERY short since November and it's barely s"Ooops, word censored!"able into a pony tail at the moment but I would baulk at paying that much to just get it put up! That's daylight robbery! I had it washed and cut last week for £19 and it took 15 minutes! How long does it take to do a french plait ?

Paola Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 My dad was the best at doing plaits when I was a kid. My mum was hopeless *whispering as OH is sitting near me!* I used to go out with a guy who worked at the palace backing horses and he was great doing french plaits I cannot do them for toffee My girls have to settle for normal plaits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
