How do I tell my godmother I don't want her to do my hair anymore?

Question

My Godmother has been doing my hair now for 12 years for free. It was a great resource when I was in high school and college and didn't have much money. Unfortunately, she's not the best at it and my hair always ends up with spots and weird streaks which look awful. Now that I'm working, I can afford to go somewhere where I know I'll get a quality service. How do I tell her that I don't want her to do my hair anymore?

Answer 1

good luck

Answer 2

just tell her and make sure she doesn't  have any hair tools around in case she gets agitated.

(: goodluck

and offer to take her to get one with you.

Answer 3

Had you pointed out the short comings all along you could have helped her improve her work and would still be able to have her do your hair. Now you will have to tell her exactly what you told us.

Answer 4

Just tell her you don't want her to do your hair anymore.

Answer 5

just tell her that you really appreciate her doing your hair but you want to try some hair salons.

Answer 6

Can't you say that you have a friend taking a hairdressers course and she wants to do your hair for her project, and then when it comes out all nice, get it done again without saying anything and if she asks just say that your friend likes doing it and you dont want to dissapoint her, and that becuase she does them for her course and a portfolio for when she looks for a job, she does extra special hair cuts.  

Answer 7

Hi,

Ok let me understand this question. The way I read this is:

I've taken advantage of my Godmother for 12 years and now I'm not sure how to finish her off by hurting her feelings.

You do realize that you have been entirely selfish in this situation.

First thing you should do, now that you're working and can afford it, is to find something that your Godmother has wanted but could never afford and buy it for her. That way you can thank her for the 12 years she was supplying you with free hair care.

Then just explain to her that you appreciate her doing your hair for all these years but you're wanting to try someplace new, that doesn't know you and will do something new with your hair.  This way, just in case you end up hating it, you can be upset with them and it won't effect the bond you two have. That should satisfy her and get you off the hook.

Just make sure you still go and visit her once in awhile.  Take her to lunch or dinner instead of having her do your hair.

Good Luck
