When I do a mani and the client keeps repositioning their fingers so they can see what I'm doing and I can't. OMG! I want to pop their fingers with my file!
I let go of their hands, cross my arms and lean back. When they realize I've stopped working and look confused.. I smile sweetly and hold my hand up the same way and ask if they can see my nails. They usually smile sheepishly and say 'no', and then I reply "I'm pretty sure you'd be MUCH MORE satisfied with my work if I could see what I was doing" then we laugh because I'll make a joke about Drunk looking nails.
People calling and texting while im doing their nails...can it not just wait for a bit?!?
Been seriously considering putting up a sign that says no texting.....
After I scrub fresh and primer their nails they touch them or rest their face in them! Really!?! I just removed all the dirt, oil, and make up that you are getting all over them!
I make it a point of when I start, by saying "now this hand belongs to me, it no longer exists for you" and we joke about it. I explain that she's not allowed to touch anything or do anything with it, not even flinch LOL All said smilingly of course LOL
My pet hate atm is people messaging me on fb asking prices - the price list is in a picture album clearly marked 'price list'.
Also people messaging me for appointments - it CLEARLY states I don't take appointments on fb because the diary is next to the phone at the salon. And I am rarely in the same place as my diary!
IT WINDS ME UP BAAAAAD!!
DITTO DITTO DITTO lol
Clients who re-arrange their appointment 3 times only to cancel at the last minute!
YUP, drives me bonkers too
It's only slagging of if you wouldn't say it to their face... Which I most definately would (and do!)!! :smack: lol.
Yup, ditto. I don't say anything I haven't or wouldn't say to someone's face. Truth of the matter is: in other work environments, co-workers get to 'vent' their frustrations to each other so that they don't blow up. It just happens that our situation is different because many of us work alone and don't have a way to let of steam (because who understands better than a colleague?).
Granted, when I VENT, it's said MUCH differently than I would say to their face HOWEVER, more or less, the same message gets delivered.
When someone asks you a question and talks over your answer.....
'Erm, I'm still talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Oy, had one of those last week, newbie had never had nails before. Absolute DOLL and very sweet. TONNES of questions, which to my mind is GREAT because she wants to learn and understand. FABULOUS. But ummm please let me finish before posing another question, because the answer IS coming.... if you let me finish LOL
I teased her about it, and about her enthusiasm. Towards the end, I'd just smile and she'd realize that "oops" she did it again... LOL so we'd laugh.
Pet peeve: clients that brag about things they bought or vacations they've taken, shopping sprees etc..
THEN moan and complain about the price...
Sweetheart, you just went to Cuba for the 5th time... I've never been not once.
If you think I'm giving you a rebate, you're bonkers.
