I think some people quite enjoy showing off how wealthy they are, and paying through the nose is one way of doing that. Restaurants. Weddings. Designer clothes. Fastest imported cars. Champagne by the carton in the New World trolley, we see that here in Devonport often enough.
I will say though, not only was she regularly overbooked, in a salon in a very pricey area, she had two apprentices as well. Having done her training over four years in one of Ponsonby's top salons including a six week finishing block in a salon in Paris, she knew the value of on the floor training v a certificate from one of the big schools. And that is where she picked up most of her long term clients. Inheritance, lol. No doubt her apprentices had that same benefit if they went out on their own.
And no one is holding a gun to the heads of these clients, nor is it a scam. They were regulars, so if they were being ripped off it was their informed choice. Funny thing about women and their hairdressers, it only takes one bad experience to never go back...
