) products, I've seen most of the stuff used on my hair by stylists right in the bss or department store.If that stylist understands chemistry, has great technique, professional, etc..then it's ok with me. But at the same time this chick used box color on my hair and didn't get the results I wanted. She put it right on my hair that was previously colored black. And she charged me $80 for color alone. And if you got pump it up spray sitting at your station, I can't be bothered.Maybe I'm just hood, but I've never been to a salon where they were using products I couldn't purchase on my own if I wanted to. Whether budget or "high end"(I'm talking cheap people high end
Look at it concerning this person is licensed, has to pay for continuous education, location, customer service, techinque, does this person work off of commission, does she pay booth rent, are you able to use credit/debit cards, etc...

But hopefully, you get the gist.
As I was reading, I was thinking what is the big deal until I read the salon visit cost $340 If you and your daughter weren't getting braids or a weave, I would be honestly questioning why the stylist is using cheaper products on clients heads. I don't necessarily believe that lower end products are worse than higher end/professional products but give the client the sense that coming to the salon is a treat to try and use higher end products (if that makes any sense)....like the client is getting their monies worth.
This kind of reminds me of a story I heard a long time ago (not saying it necessarily applies to OP's situation). I don't remember all the details so I'll improvise.
A man's boat wouldn't start, even after he worked on it for hours. So he called a professional to fix it. The professional examined the boat, tested a few things, replaced a part and fixed the boat in about 5-10 minutes. Later the customer received a bill for $255, $5 for the part and $250 to fix it. The customer was upset and called asking why he had to pay $250 to fix something that cost $5 and only took a couple of minutes to replace. The professional explained that the $250 wasn't just for replacing the part. He was paying for his knowledge of knowing what to fix and how to fix it.
I'm sure someone probably heard a similar story and I probably chopped it up
It's a catch 22!This kind of reminds me of a story I heard a long time ago (not saying it necessarily applies to OP's situation). I don't remember all the details so I'll improvise.

but I understand from both sides of the coin. I used to bring my own products, but I would still get charged full price.

Around here a relaxer touchup is $65-$70. so maybe everything was a la carte? Plus tips?
Wait the shampoo girl? A steam treatment? Her eyebrows groomed? Idk?
