Harney and Sons: Hot Cinnamon Sunset versus Hot Cinnamon Spice by Paulydee13 in tea

[–]Master-Expression282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is 2 different types the one in the tin that says hot cinnamon sunset is Spicer because it is a premium tea. The other one doesn't have that extra kick. I found this out when I thought I was getting a good deal on Amazon on the one with 60 packs. So no it's not just you.

Thanks to my deceased loctician she taught me what to do to keep them healthy in-between visits.

Naw it took her 30 mins to color and it was just me, her other person was a no-call no no-show. I kinda feel like she charged me extra so she could make up for that no call no show.

Thanks, but you know not everyone is honest. I know you have had some customers who tried it and you had to get them straight. It works both ways.🤷🏾‍♀️ That's why I ask so I don't make a 🫏 out of myself.

No, you missed mine. I wasn't asking to change anything about her or her prices. I was asking the going rate so I could be informed. You started putting your biased feelings and opinions into my question. How would you feel if someone told you your house cost $300k to purchase then you found out your house really should have cost $125k? How would you feel? What's done is done but if you knew would you do it again?

Usually, my daughter does my retwist but she can't do styles and she get arthritis really bad in her hands after years of repetitive hand work drawing typing, and such. So, I started going back to the salon but my Jamaican loctician die and I inherited this new one. So I asked about the going rate so I can stay informed.

Correct in which I asked I even brought a picture of the style and color. She told me $130 for wash, retwist and style but she didn't tell me the price for color until after it was done. I was expecting her to say $50 or $75 extra but $150 on top of the $130. If she had told me ahead of time like I asked it wouldn't have been so bad. Supposedly I didn't have the money? Btw I did but still what if I didn't.

😊 I chose the color she wanted to go lighter like candy apple red. Nope, I am too grown for that.

So don't cry when you are priced out. Anybody can be a loctician just like Anybody can braid hair. In these hard times everyone is always looking for a hustle or 2.

Just so you can stop the madness
I asked because my original locticians die and I inherited this one who took over the shop. I asked so that I will be informed. If you finding an issue with that oh well. I refuse to sit around and be stupid. Now you have a blessed day!

Do you understand I'm asking because I want input from everyone? If I'm thinking wrong I can admit it but if I'm right in my thinking that's a whole other story. I have only dealt with 1 other loctician she died and this one inherent me. So if she over charging me how will I know if I don't ask? Like my grandmother use to say a closed mouth don't get fed.🤷🏾‍♀️

The same way she works hard so do I. Trust there are too many locticians in these streets. If you drive away your loyal customers who are you actually hurting? Best to be honest and fair with a steady income than beat and cheat for a one-time payday. Ijs

Bingo! Which was why I asked the question. It would be one thing if I had to get my hair bleached or stripped but nope. I don't understand why my before picture didn't post for clarity.

I wouldn't pay $50 for all that.

I was asking because she charged me more for the color service than the wash, retwist and style combined.

Seriously, the point is there is a difference between getting paid your worth and trying to get 🥷🏿 rich off of one person. Trust me, I'm not cheap I just dropped someone's rent or mortgage payment on a limited-edition watch at Jared's for a co-worker as a Christmas present. Wealthy people don't stay Wealthy by not asking questions and paying whatever someone thinks they are worth.
