I'd rather the client had responsibility for her own handbag to be honest and as a client, I wouldn't dream of leaving my bag at the station.
I had two fellas come into the Hair Salon last year and come straight down to the Nail station and to cut a long story short, they robbed my Blackberry ... as soon as the clients realised what happened, they all made a grab for their handbags and it was kinda funny to see them all clutching them to their chests in horror (bit late.. the thieves had gone)
It's very easy for someone to come into the Salon and take a handbag..... why make it easy for the thieves?
