    Can a hairdresser charge you twice the price for a haircut and threathen to call the guards if you dont pay????
    This happened a few months back i was getting my little sisters haircut told him to cut it 2 inches short, he did an excellent job but i thought it was still too long so he cut it an inch more, i was delighted that it turned out great. Then i went to pay and the manager/hairdresser said " you got it cut twice so i am going to charge to twice now" i was devestated.

    BS. Hair dresser is a chancer. It was one visit. One charge.
    Either reason with the person or go to Small Claims Court.
    Don't involve the guards, it's nothing to do with them. I believe this would be classed as a civil matter.

    Yeah i know the guards wouldnt do anything any way, but him saying i will call the guards is that legal like the price was clearly stated.
    That has never happened to me before no matter how many times i get my haircut.

    I'd just never ever go there again and tell everyone you know not to go either...

    It's illegal to threaten invalid legal action in the enforcement of a debt to my knowledge.

    The Gardaí will not get involved in such a case, as it a civil matter. They probably would have been on your side, as he was harassing you.

    BTW - did you actually pay the double fee?

    I was hesitating and was on my own called my dad up and the manager was arguing with me and my dad, he was very rude. As i was on my own i gave him the fee at first and asked my dad to come, my dad kind of sorted the matter out and i got my extra money from another employee. I was going to complain about him but my dad told me to leave it. Dont know if i should have though he didnt give me his name.

    If it was part of a chain, like Tony & Guy or Peter Mark, then complain to the company's head office. If not, there's not really anywhere to complain to. Move on, and never give them your business again.
