hi all been workin really hard on new treatment menus, hope to improve the salon and get the word out ready to go back tomorrow.

the hairdresser i rent from rang me this aft to say she doesn't want me back!
im so sad n so mad to her shes messed me around from day one.

her reasons are im not making her any money. I've only been there 6 month which in my eyes is normal

secondly i havent been in much during the last 2 weeks,in my defence it was xmas! lol and i worked appointments only xmas and NYE.

she has give me no notice but she did say " i was going to text you but thought i should do it in person" (hmm over the phone) and i'm going to get someone else in.

i was crying my eyes out and all she said was right i got to go im busy.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry for you. Some people can be so mean and horrible. Not to mention that you've only been open 6 months and especially in this time of money being so tight, she should be more understanding!

I wish you all the luck in the world for the future. I'm sure you'll be able to look at this one day and use it to your advantage.

Big hugs xx

LOL Ann, but surely describing that woman as bovine is polite in the extreme considering what she's done to poor Carla!

I once got given the elbow after about 6 months in a salon, it was in one of the first places I ever worked, and at the time I was upset about it, but after that I decided I was going to prove I could do it. I now have my own salon & she's out of business!

Hi

so sorry to hear your news. BUt i am a fair believer in what goes around comes around and what is for you won't pass you . This place is obviously not for you - if it was you wouldn't be so miserable there. Onwards and upwards - i'm sure you find you feet whether it be working mobile or maybe renting a small room somewhere. Anyway whatever you do best of luck for the future

Hey Carla I know what you´re going through just remember that when life forces you out of your comfort zone amazing things happen. You weren´t happy with your situation at the salon, so thank god they´re forcing you out so you can refocus your energy in something that will work for you and not against you. It´s not going to be easy but the things that are most worth IT in life rarely are. Good luck to you!!!
