[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you single out certain clients, you get retribution. Bad reviews, lies told about you -- people find a way to get even when they think you are uppity or acting above your station. It's a lose-lose.

Set it as standard practice and people may leave, but it isn't personal in the same way.

Instead, there's an edge of "how dare she!" Even "she should know her place, or we'll have to show it to her." Am I wrong in reading it that way?[/quote]

Because if you follow the thread, the contract is very poorly worded, and there is actually a big problem with one of the clauses, such that you really shouldn't be signing that. Clearly it's something the hairdresser doesn't understand and just pulled from somewhere, so the educated people here, who can actually read and understand contracts, aren't happy at being told to sign a ridiculous one.

If the contract is reasonable, I'm sure no one would have trouble signing it.

Fair enough, but I'll ask again:

It's one thing to say it's a shame that stylists are doing this, and you'll have to change. Or unfortunate that they are trying to address the problem this way. But many of you are making it personal here, too -- not just that you acknowledge it's probably a bad business decision. Instead, there's an edge of "how dare she!" Even "she should know her place, or we'll have to show it to her." Am I wrong in reading it that way?

If someone less educated is making an error when backed into a corner, why is that anger the response? Shouldn't it be pity, or sorrow, or regret, or something?

My anger comes from the fact that I am overpaying for a service and I don't feel I'm being treated well by my salon or stylist.  So the idea of a contract is a slap in the face.  It is annoying to get there on time and find out that she is running late because she accepted a client who came in late.  As far as I'm concerned, the second I walked in the clock starts ticking.  She needs to stop working on the late person and work on me.  The late person should not be in the front seat, either.  That should be me.  And I should get the full range of services.  If anyone is getting shafted it should be the late person.  It makes me angry that the stylist is trying to basically double-dip and expect me to be happy about taking a back seat.  She needs to man up and run her business the way that she would want to be treated.  [/quote]

So why did you ever go back even once, after you felt you were treated in a way you cannot tolerate?

You don't need her to do anything at all, whether manning up or changing her business or anything in particular. You just need to take your business elsewhere -- done. Finis. Over. Out of your life.

Has this been a pattern? Why are you staying, and why does she matter to you at all after any of this happened, much less all of it?[/quote]
