Other salons do something similar, and I don’t like it either. Gary & Manuel adds $5 for employee health insurance. My impression was that they were making a political statement, which is always risky. I don’t see the point of making the announcement unless you are offering a voluntary payment option. Otherwise, it’s part of the cost of doing business and therefore only their business – not the clients, especially if they’re not itemizing the entire cost of the service. It seems as if these salons are virtue signaling at the expense of the clients. If you want to use your employee’s health care or your recycling practices as marketing tools, fine, but don’t then turn to the client and say “and now YOU have to pay for it”. IMO, this has the opposite effect of what was intended.
