Well that's different. I'll say that charging a black person and a white person two different prices to style the same type hair is wrong. When I used to go to a salon, some girls made it seem as if they didn't want to do my hair. I was so big inconvenience to their assembly line wash and set situation. I've been to do different salons and home is best :-)

I fully concur with same service, same price.
My actual knowledge of the mechanics of much of this is limited to observation, i.e. I have never had my hair set, but the concept of more work = higher price seems reasonable.
It was interesting to read the posts here about different skills for different hair types. That had never occurred to me. However, that should not be an excuse to price things differently.
I brought this topic up at breakfast. The ladies validated much of what I had read here. #2 brought up an interesting point...that many black women spend much more on their hair than many realize. Her best friend does braided looks and changes them every couple of weeks. The time and cost floored me.
