shmoo Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 found this on a website! might pin it up at work Why does my Dog's Haircut cost more than mine? 10. Your hairdresser doesn't wash and clean your bottom. 9. You don't go for eight weeks without washing or brushing your hair. 8. Your hairdresser doesn't throw in a free Brazilian! 7. Your hairdresser doesn't clean out your ears. 6. Your hairdresser doesn't have to clean boogies from your eyes. 5. You sit still for your hairdresser. 4. Your haircut doesn't include a manicure or pedicure. 3. Your hairdresser only washes and cuts the hair on your head. 2. You don't bite or scratch your hairdresser. and the number 1 reason your dog's haircut costs more than yours: 1. The likelyhood of you pooing or weeing while your hair is being cut is fairly slim!

JulesP Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Oh and what about fleas! I remember doing one dog that was so flea infested that I looked down and my socks were crawling with fleas! It was disgusting. Have done a few dogs that smelt so badly I was gagging too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 And I never got close to charging what I pay at the hairdressers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachie Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I am sure we could come up with a hundred of them Hairdresser doesn't have to physically lift you into the chair when you dont really feel like it. Hairdresser doesnt have to carefully cut around hotspots and skin infections due to matting. (that goes with the non brushing one) Definitely the flea one - but then i guess hairdressers get to deal with nits sometimes. Great find Shmoo - i think i will stick it on my trailer as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmoo Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Definitely the flea one - but then i guess hairdressers get to deal with nits sometimes. but ive heard from hairdressers that if they find nits in somebodys hair they are legally no longer allow to proceed and have to ask them to leave! could you imagine if we did that to clients with fleas?! gee we would loose half our work!

gareth Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'm glad my haridresser doesn't have to squeeze my anal glands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I'm glad my haridresser doesn't have to squeeze my anal glands I dont even do that..... I refer them to a vet if asked - just in case there is an infection or something. But yeah, it would be a great one to add as i am sure a lot of grooming salons do it as part of 'the service'. Couldnt bring myself to do it tho. Eye boogers, daggy bums, gross ears, even ingrown dew claws - not a problem, but i wouldnt touch an anal gland for any amount of money. Shmoo, didnt know that about nits and hairdressers - makes sense tho. And yes, if we said that about fleas and ticks, well, we would all be broke - that's how i get a lot of my clientèle in the first place as i am sure you do!

Ari Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 that's how i get a lot of my clientèle in the first place as i am sure you do! You mean your clients actually realise they have fleas before they call you? Mine never seem to know! Or at least pretend they didn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poodle wrangler Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sad thing is that a dog haircut costs less than mine AND they look better than I do . Don't go grey early (started in my twenties!!!!)- it's expensive to look normal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
