Ok…update! She loved the offer! These are the terms- I will cut her hair on a Saturday that she is babysitting. I will make her my last customer of the day and she can bring Greg. That way it won’t be hard for her to find the time to get a cut and I won’t have to come in on my day off. It turns out she doesn’t get perms or colors.

As for products, I told her she can choose whatever she would like, even the most expensive one. Here’s a secret (don’t tell her!): I don’t pay what you guys pay. I pay way less, as a matter of fact. So a bottle of shampoo once in a while won’t be a problem, and she’ll think I’m a goddess for spending all that money (snicker) on her. This is going to be great for everybody involved. 🙂
