Of course we'll have to change the names of the clients ..  but they will reconize them selfs..LOL!!!As for doing what the client makes you do .. and then goes off to another stylist for a wedding.. it should have never gone that far.. you must have an ucler by now or stomac prombles.. never never let a client make you a servent.. kick it in the butt  and get rid of clients like that.. (nicly tho)yes cater to them while there in the salon .. ask if they like a drink or a book  and if ther comfortable..  ..remmember what you do and except comes back to you over and over again so don't do that ..keep it postive...What you resists persists..  i enjoy my clients as clients.. there're a few that will befriend you...so keep it business.. and charge!!!let them leave you because they can't afford you.. i heard that over and over ..Oh  he's good but to expensive.. so be it..
