I've just got to tell you guys about a so called client that rang me Thursday evening. She asked me some strange questions that made me think she could be another nail tech checking me out. I don't have a problem with this as we have all done it. It was when she asked me what i could tell her about acrylic that got me thinking. It wasn't a sort of question you normally get from jo public.
Anyway i told her what i would normally say, then she proceeded to tell me she worked near me and wondered if she could pop in Friday afternoon to have a fullset done. I am usually mobile which i said to her, but as i had an opening i said i was willing for her to visit me at home so she could have a set for the weekend. She booked an appointment for 4.15 for a fullset of L&P.
I had quite a busy day on the fiday, ut made sure i was ready and set up by 4pm. My hubby looked after our daughter for me so i wouldn't be disturbed when she arrived. The weird thing is, i had a feeling while i was setting up that she wasn't going to show, and sure enough she didn't!!
It really annoyed me as i was putting myself out for a client and she didn't have the decency to ring me to say somethig had held her up. Then i had a thought, that if this was another tech, would they really book an appointment they had no intentions of keeping???
I wondered if anything like this has happened to you guys, as this has shaken my confidence in people booking and being honest. I know this sounds silly, but it really annoyed me.
Just had to vent my feelings as i knew you would all understand.:evil:
