Evening all!
I haven't been around for a few weeks,I have been so busy, so I thought I would sit down tonight and post away!!
I just need a bit of reassurance. Over the past 3 weeks, I have had loads of clients with contraindications to treatments e.g 2 x clients who have just finished chemo! 2 insulin diabetics! fungal infections 2 pregnant ladies who want their bellies waxing! the list goes on honestly, I have never had so many clients with lists of medications and problems, I am starting to wonder what is going on. I nearly didn't set up for a hot stone massage today cause I knew the client would have a contraindication. (which she did!).
To top it off clients are saying, that they have had treatments elsewhere and I have had to do the 'well Mrs Client with the greatest respect e.t.c a few have turned shirty!
I am insured with the Guild who are saying not to get a client to sign a disclaimer as I am not insured, and that I shouldn't treat any client with a contraindication.
I am at the point where I am on the verge of asking clients when they are booking the appointment what their problems are! would you be offended if I asked you over the phone if you were taking medication e.t.c.
Me thinks I will be running out of clients soon!!
So basically I think I am asking, does anyone else get this quite a lot or do you think clients are trying it on cause the salon is only 7 months old?
What do you do with clients who are contraindicated?
I try my hardest to be professional but it seems to be going against me at the moment!
Any advice as always very welcomed!
