I'm sorry to hear about that Leslie, I know you were looking forward to the new location. I believe you're right, it's better to keep to yourself, make your money and go home. That was what I learned from my experiences that I talked about in the other "salon drama" thread.
Donna, now that you have over 200 clients, have you ever thought of opening a store? Now's a great time since your ex-boss's shop closed. Hire a staff, and let the money work for you. You will have total control over everthing and everyone! Just something to consider.
