In truth, each hairstylist is entitled to how much they want to charge based on how much time and effort they invest into their trade, including what expensive products they use. But do you agree that this particular hair venture cost too much?

Policarpo did get people who supported her, emphasizing the point that people are free to charge what they want as long as they get customers who are willing to pay them.
