Help! I am having trouble with un-supportive friends and need advice.
My best friend went elsewhere whilst I was away just after Christmas.
She had white tips applied, and just had clear acrylic over them.
She never said anything and came back to me for a re-balance as thoiugh she hadn't been elsewhere, and then 2 weeks later asked for a soak-off & new set.
Then on Saturday asked if I had the white tips as she didn't want pink & whites because she liked the way the other lady did them. I was really offended as I am Creative trained, she has been coming to me for 2 years, and I do not cut corners in anyway I apply extensions.
I told her that I only apply nails the way I have been trained as it is relaible, and I find I get a better result.
What I wanted to say was "If you have a problem with the way I do nails then go elsewhere!"
I then went out for my birthday on Saturday & our another friend came up and told me how she had her spray tan & nails done at this other Salon. I asked why she couldn't come to me, and she said "Oh, well it was last minute!"
I have got to the point where I am boiling with anger that they show me no support or respect! They always fail to comment when I have done anything new to the Salon or ask me how it is going. One of them has only ever seen my Salon twice, and I have had a new Sign put up which they didn't even comment on.
It might seem like I am being silly, but it is really off putting. Then to ask me to do nails the way somebody else does like my way is wrong knocked me totally.
I am Creative trained and proud, I have worked hard for what I have got. But I have reached a point where I am so down hearted about it. However at the same time it is making me want to aim higher and become the best of the best.
Any advice on Friends like these?
