I really doubt she is going to give you that information. Can you blame her? She has to protect her business. What you could do, is stay where you are, and gather the information from your clients yourself. And I also think you learned a good lesson about how important it is to stay where you are, so you don't lose your clients. Good luck! Amy |

Today my friend quited and will work with me @ my old shop. I'm afraid to leave too. Do you think she will ask me why my friend leave? I thought it is my fault because I told my friend that my old shop is very busy and walk-ins. She wants to work with me. Oh boy! Now she quited. I have to wait for 2 weeks because I have to go hair show with my boss for a weekend. We are having girls night out. I stay over night in hotel with her. I have to leave her shop after the show show. Should I give her a notice? I'm a bit nervous. I'm not strong woman. Are you sure she will give me my clients information. I will tell her I'm not taking any walk-ins. Should I tell her why I'm leaving. Bad location and no walk-ins will hurt her feeling??? Please I need your answer. Thanks for your help. |

No, you misunderstood me. I said I don't think she will give you the information, and with good reason. I don't think you should ask her. If you feel you need to leave now, that's fine, I'm sure you'll rebuild your clientel really quick. I'm sorry, but you should have taken your client's information before decided to leave. |

If you have decided to leave give your boss notice. It is wrong to go to a hairshow that she is paying for i bet and have a girls night out at her expense. No she wont give you client info. You have to rebuild your own clientelle at the other place. Donna |

Moving salons sucks! I have done my fair share of it myself. Its really hard when you get into a place and in a short time, you decide you don't like it. Then you are stuck there or have to move again. The one thing I have done is to book my own appointments. I have a cell phone just for my clients and I don't move to any salon I can't book my own appts. It REALLY helps when you move and makes keeping all your clients easy. I've lost clients moving cause the receptionist doesn't tell them where I've been or convinces them to come to a stylist there first. So my cell phone is perfect. My clients know that I don't answer while working on someone, but take breaks between to return calls. My voice mail states that too. They don't mind and prefer booking directly with me as I can find spots for them a receptionist never found. (ie: stay late, come in early or a spot I see I can put someone between 2 other clients easily, etc.) Good luck to you. Its no fun moving salons.  ------Karla |

Drew, I agree with so much with that statement! I say, where ever you go, there you are! And Karla, I prefer speaking directly to my clients too, because nobody knows how to book my time but me. |

hi, iv'e been in this situation a lot of times. i been doing hair for 17 years, been in four different salons, just recently started at another. this one feels right for me. it is regis salon. anyway, is there a way u can get your clients phone numbers that are booked for appointments? there has to be something, chemical cards with customer info on them. my old job had all the clients numbers that i done since i been there and address in the computor i printed them out. there has to be something. because most company send out coupons and offers to get customers to come back. look into it. be careful though. i put my cell phone number on my busness cards when my clients ask for my card. that way, when they can't find you, they will call the number. i also have a customer log book. which i put their chemical info, address, and phone number. or just stay there long enough to tell your clients and give them the info. be careful though. i would'nt tell anyone either be careful who u trust. good luck, if u need more ideas, feel free to write me . dee dee |

me again, forgot to tell you, don't feel guilty about leaving.if you feel like you can talk to her, be honest with your boss, she seems like an understanding person. she knows the shop is'nt busy. we have to do what we have to do. just make sure your prepared to leave if she acts funny and tells u to leave right away. they still have to protect their business. good luck, write back if you need me, dee dee |

Those were excellent ideas Spikey! It's a good idea to put another form of contact on business cards, even an email address. Leslie writes on her cards, http://www.wheresmystylist.com. Also daisy, can your new employer advertise for you? |

Thank you for helping me. Anyway, my last boss asked my friend to stay for couple days and works another salon for a months. She tried to give her a try over there. My friend doesn't want to and want to leave now. So today, my boss was asking me if I knew anything about my friend's leaving. I told her I didn't know that. She said she was sad that my friend's leaving for a while. She hopes my friend will come back. My last boss doesn't know that I'm leaving too. I hate to hurt her feeling. I felt that I'm liar. I hate being lie to her. I didn't get a chance to give all my clients a card it has my cell #on the back. I don't want to be sneaky. I'll wait for a week or after hair show. I'm not going to give her a notice. I'll tell her on that day. I still have some of my clients informations. What will happen if I tell her that I'm leaving too. I bet she will be mad at me because I lie to her. I don't want to say anything and I want to stay out of it. This is not my bussiness. This is my friend's buissiness. If she ask me why I steal her and work with me. I don't steal her. She's the one she did herself. I have nothing to do with her. I'm not strong enough and am afraid to tell her the truth. My boss is very sweet and nice but the shop is very slow no walkins and bad location. I hope she'll understand. |

I really think you should give her notice. Not only is it common courtesy, but you don't want to burn any bridges in case you ever want to go back. A coworker gave only a few days notice today that she was leaving, and the district manager told her to pack up her stuff and leave now. Another girl quit by not showing up at all. Now we're short handed again, and I'm planning taking my vacation in about a week. I'm taking it anyway because I earned it, and I'm taking over for my manager when she takes hers. We'll get by, it's just really inconsiderate in my opinion. I doubt either one will be hired back. 2-4 weeks notice is very considerate and professional. |
