I came very close to assaulting a client today

I agree with everyone's comments... I think you we're very restrained I'd have gone ballistic and asked him to leave. In the long run you probably did the best thing, finished and let him go, but I'd refuses to see him again and as others have said report it, he def sounds as my daughter would say "a wrongun"

'Chelle, really hope you do report that pig to someone

I only say that because my husbands brother is a pervert like that. We are not in contact with him now however. It started with him saying comments and such like that, the we heard he had been creeping around schools shout descusting things and little girls.

Finally oneday I walked in when he was over (like he had stopped by for a few mins to see my husband and was by himself for tops 3 minutes) and he was watching rape porn on his phone I freakkkeed threw him out of my home. Somebody we know had also caught him watching those kinds of things and found recent webcam feed of his ex from 7 years before he had been somehow gotten pics with out her knowingHe was reported. But because some of it was hear say nothing can be done. But now that he has been flagged it makes me feel so much better.

All it took was one comment who knows what this guy is really doing at home, if he has no shame saying something like that to a mother what would he say to a child? Sorry dont mean to be lecturing lol its compleyely up to you. I just hate descusting dirty men who get away with crap like that xoxo

That was definitely an inappropriate comment! What a pig of a man! I would've been hard pressed to keep my mouth shut or not accidentally nipped him with something sharp!
Dirty old letch

I agree with all the above, and really feel for you. I would definitely call 101 & give his details over & the details of his inappropriate conversation. He may have moved into your area already being on a "register" & I think it would be advisable to report him PLEASE, if not for you, for the sake of a child. With the current news, please don't sit on it..... :hug:

Never in my life have I been so incensed. Please tell me if you would feel the same in my shoes...

A "gentleman" rang me yesterday asking for a single nail enhancement to try and resolve a problem he has with a splitting nail. I was at home when I took the call and as I was chatting with him and booking him in my daughter was chattering away in the background. The client asked "oh have you got a little one there?" so I replied "sorry yes that's just my daughter" then immediately changed the subject and got back onto the subject of his nail booking.

Anyway, this chap came in to the salon today. He began by making a couple of comments I wasnt comfortable with (e.g I bet the reason you agreed to do my nail is so you have the opportunity to sit holding my hand) but I laughed it off because I thought perhaps he's just trying to be friendly and its not coming across well. Some of the comments he made I would describe as lewd but again I thought perhaps he's just trying too hard to be friendly so I brushed it off.

So, I was sat doing his nail and he says "so you have a little girl then?" and I said "yes, although she's not so little really, she's 16", to which he replied "ooooh you can introduce her to me then, that's the age I like them at" :evil: . I literally put my tools down and gave him a frosty stare and he tried to laugh it off and said "ooh I suppose you cant say that in this day and age" but I failed to see the funny side.

Maybe I am over-reacting. Me and my girl have been through some rough times together when she was little so I am perhaps more protective of her than your average parent, but I was absolutely enraged that this man was sat there making lewd comments about my girl and laughing about it. I'm still angry with myself for not asking him to leave the salon there and then, but the instinct to be nice to the customer was foremost in my mind so I just smiled (or rather grimaced!) at him and got on with the service as quick as I could because I just wanted this man out of my salon. Seriously I am not a violent person by any means but the urge to jump over the nail desk and give this excuse for a man a slap round the ear was unbearable!!

Honestly, is it just me? Would you feel the same? She's my girl and it's my job to look after her and protect her from old men who like 16 year old girls. She's been through a hell of a lot in her younger years and has seen and experienced things that no child should ever have to see (my ex was abusive and violent). We have a good life now and she's really turning into a wonderful young woman, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let some middle aged perv sit in my salon and letch over my girl and laugh as he does it.

I've not read the other posts yet, but be she 4, 16, or 56 you would still be as protective. Children are always your little baby at any age and your reacted naturally as a mother should.
I would note his name and number and not book him in again. Xoxo

I think you did well to keep your cool, what a disgusting thing to say to someone.

I don't have kids but if someone said something like that to me I would want to junk-punch them!
