This has been a very much requested episode for a while now and I have been putting it off because I don’t want it to come off the wrong way. In the end, we as stylists all deal with it, and honestly most of these stories my clients and I can look back on and laugh now. Some we can’t though and that’s okay! It’s okay to “fire” a client if you get stressed about their appointment, never feel good enough for them, get nervous about what they will say, and aren’t appreciated. We all learn the hard way, especially at the beginning! Listen in for some crazy stories, that will give you a good laugh.
