hypothetically, what would we do if a client had no way to pay after receiving services?  call the police?

 

I had a guy once come in and ask the price, we were charging 25 for mens, he stayed for 20 minutes trying to negotiate........he said he wanted to pay like 5 or 7 dollars, I told him I would cut a few hairs of his choice for 5 or 7 dollars.......

maybe you could just color a few of that guys hairs? 

 

Clients you really have to treat like cattle.........sounds harsh but true,  one of my friends/coworker told me a story once............once a upon a time...long long ago......"Edward" worked in a swanky top posh salon in NYC, at the time he was an assistant to "? ...I can't remember his name--Josh for example sake", well on a Friday night the salon had a party........clients came.....everyone was Josh this and Josh that..........well afterwards......Josh hit a tree or something driving home and died......the very next day....Edward was at the salon, and some of the same clients that were at the party the night before......Edward said NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON cared that he died........they freaked out and wanted to know who was going to their hair!

 

Edward from that point forward didn't care for the clients emotionally anymore. his word of advice..treat them like cattle!  Service them, get them in, give good customer service, charge them and get them out......
