Any parent knows it's difficult to control a child's emotions - and taking them to get their hair cut can be a bit of an ordeal if they don't want to do it.

Tantrums can start at the drop of a hat, which is why one hairdresser has sparked outrage after putting up a sign threatening to charge customers a surplus charge for children's haircuts if they cry.

It was reportedly spotted by a parent in Australia and posted in a mums' community Facebook group, according to the Daily Mail Online.

The poster read: "Any children that cry during a children's haircut will result in a $10 increase in price."

One Facebook user commented on the photo: "Riiiight.. well if I saw that sign my child's haircut wouldn't even be starting... that's just ridiculous"

"As a side note, I wonder what happens if an adult cries during a haircut.. a discount perhaps"

Another, who revealed themselves to be a hairdresser, commented that it was "darn right rude".

Others said they wouldn't give the business owner the time of day "let alone their business" and one suggested they shouldn't be cutting kids' hair at all as they obviously don't "get" them.

The location of the salon is unknown.
