Op- well handled. This is the reason we go self employed! X
She sounds horrendous! I would have done exactly the same. Who cares about being fair and giving her a chance when your instincts tell you otherwise. Being mobile you need to trust them. I'm intrigued to know if she's been in touch again?
I knew it! She's messaged me on facebook asking for an appointment :/ I don't know what to do!
She is pushing you around because you let her. Set limits and stick to them. Hun, you need to get a backbone, stop letting her push you around, and be very clear with her that you do not want her for a client for these reasons. After you make it clear to her, you need to block her on FB and anything else you need to. Be polite and unapologetic, but firm and unyielding. She will probably bad mouth you to others, but you must never bad mouth her.
The last message I sent her was beginning of December saying to find someone else because I couldn't do fit her in I was quite firm and I thought she'd got the hint but obviously not lol! I'd love to tell her exactly why I'm ignoring her but I don't want to offend her :/ do you have any thoughts on how to word it?? She left me a 3min voicemail today saying 'you don't know me I don't know why you're ignoring me don't you like me what have I done' and I feel awful about it now but I'm not being emotionally blackmailed into doing her nails by her. I just don't know how i'd deal with it without really upsetting her which I don't want to do!
Thanks for your help xx
You are going on your second month of stress because of this woman. You don't want to offend her, but you're willing to continue to stress yourself out about her?! Be honest. Say, "I am sorry, but you've been extremely difficult with me to date, not respecting me, my privacy, or my time, and I simply don't think we'd be a good fit. I can give the names of some other excellent nail techs." If she pushes further, just say, "I'm sorry, I don't think we're a good fit." Use the broken record technique.
Within the limits of the law, you have a right to choose who you do business with. She might bad mouth you to others, but it is likely that they already know what she's like and won't take it seriously. Better she bad mouth you for telling the truth and ending it, than for stringing her along for months. You need to get this done and over with.
