Free haircut / “pay what you can”
nem
Posts: 410 Listening Ear
I want to ask the gay cafe I go to for a free haircut
They do “pay what you can”
I am scared to ask
I am unemployed out of uni on universal credit and disability benefits (PIP) , I regularly use the food bank , I am desperate to move out. I am 23 bisexual woman. I am scared to ask them. They seem nice but usually it is £20 for long hair but I really want a haircut , it has been since May. (That’s when my last cut was)
Would this be an okay message to send on instagram:?:
Hi
I hope you’re doing well, love the cafe:)
I was wondering if it would be possible at all book a long hair haircut for free as I am unemployed and on universal credit and disability benefits at the moment due to my mental health, if you are still operating with the “pay what you can system” I totally understand if this is no longer the case / not possible any more but wanted to message just in case this is possible at the moment . No worries at all if not!
Best wishes

That sounds very polite I reckon it would be alright to send!
Are you just planning to get a wee trim or are you doing anything else with your hair like dyeing it?
Is the hairdressers attached to the cafe? - I've never seen that done before.
I might have a look to see if there are any near me, I'd love a wee coffee and a cake whilst I got my hair cut!
I’m way to scared to ask
And I’m scared to go there now cus I’m scared to spend any money cus I’m scared I will never ever ever move out
