exactly. If someone smells offensive it is an issue. I don't go round sacking people, so please don't threaten me with tribunerals for posting my opinions on a forum!!!!I agree that removing the microwave is perfectly acceptable. The smell of some foods fills the salon and can't be removed. For anyone not eating it and especially when you come in from the freshness outside, it can be repulsive.
There are lots of other options, pasta, salad, sandwiches, crackers, fruit salad, wraps, sushi.... If your therapists say they MUST have hot food, then they can go and buy it or they could make soup in the morning, put it in a flask and it will still be hot for them to eat in their cars, or anywhere outside the salon.
They can eat whatever they like as long as they ensure they don't smell of it afterwards. Mints, chewing gum, toothbrush, mouthwash, body spray, putting a jacket on when you go out for a fag...
In Dawn's defence, i don't think she was saying "eat what i say or else". It seemed like she was actually saying that if the clients refuse to have you as their therapist, due to an offending smell, you will lose your job because you won't be bringing the salon any money in. Unless you change your ways and the clients agree to seeing you again.
If a therapist smelt of body odour you would expect them to wash and use a deoderant. Is this really any different?
I have NEVER been taken to tribuneral and have been a salon owner for 12 years, so cannot be acting outside of the law.
However, if someone smells offensive, the issue has to be tackled. A therapist cannot do a facial with hands that stink, or a stylist smell overwhelmingly of garlic. My salon cannot smell like an indian
Hopefully those who disagree with my rules have the misfortune to pay good money for a treatment that is spoilt by an overwhelming personal odour. Possibly then they will see it from a clients perspective.
