You go on about how to speak to people in posts and how to give YOU feed back .... Well when your clients nails lift or tan turns streaky will you tell them how to speak to you???
Your NOT in a nursery setting now!! LOL!
I actually find this really insulting and upsetting. I sincerely apologise for mentioning your daughter as this has clearly upset you and was not my intention, it must have been horrific for you to go through. However, I really don't feel there is any need for you to "laugh out loud" at me and speak to me like a child. I have already said that I know how to speak to clients and of course I wouldn't be telling them how to speak to me. I find your mocking very upsetting. I am a professional, I mistakenly thought that although this is ultimately a professional site, it was a friendly one too. Clients are a whole other topic. I am not asking about how to speak to or deal with a client and as said before, I DO NOT need to be told how to conduct myself professionally anyway.
Shedunlop, yes, you are one of the nicest members on here and have been very kind to me since I joined. You mention throughout your post about experienced therapists that have been in the business and on this site for years giving their advice and how newbies should take it as it's meant and not take it personally. But can I just ask you to remember back to when you were new to all this (and not just you, any of the members here) and just starting out, whether it be in a salon, at home, mobile and how daunting and nerve racking that feels? Or the first time you joined a forum and were new, I am one of the friendliest people you can meet. It is NEVER my intention to upset people, that is just not me, I absolutely HATE to upset people. Yes, I can be sensitive, it's one of my massive flaws, and so can many other people be, we're not all tough cookies and every single person reads or interprets things differently. So, as a newbie and this being pretty much the first thing I've asked for feedback on, I was just anticipating that feedback would be given less directly perhaps. But again, this is just me, I always make sure I deliver criticism as delicately as I can, not sugar coating it, just not saying it rudely, maybe why I had such fantastic staff working for me over the years, not something to mock, am very proud at the high standards my nurseries were run at and I intend on taking that same professionalism and high standard into my salon. I fail to see why just because you are professional you can't be friendly too.
I'm actually really upset by this now, so I won't be commenting any further. Thank you to all for all the advice you have given on this and other subjects.
