Melody, This reminded me of when my oldest was getting married. I went to a stylist that did great updos for a trial. My biggest fear was that she would not be there the day of the wedding. Well, sure enough, she was not there. The owner had to do it. The reason? The stylist got smashed the night before, had a fight with her boyfriend and just could not come to work that day. The whole time the owner did my hair, she was on the phone with another friend talking about the whole scenario. This business has lots of gossip and we all hear it from one another. I get it from clients all the time about how they saw "so & so" at a function and she was totaled. Anothter stylist actually left her client sitting in the chair to run to her boyfriends place to finish their drama. No thank you. Nothing can be said about me in that realm. I am a lightweight anyway. Last week my one client brought in beer for her Testosterone Free week-- a yearly thing she does with me each time her husband and son go skiing. We do the works--facial, nails, pedi and she brings the beer. I wait until I am almost done the pedi before I open mine. Just cannot drink and work. Another thing to consider is what you put on your Facebook or My Space. I have clients on my FB so I will not comment about anything that could be damaging, but just like the college kids who put incriminating photos online that could hurt them come time for job hunting, so could this hurt us. Just my dos pesetos!! buenos dias, Lynnette

If your clients….or potential clients… see you out in public, away from where you work or not, and you are doing drugs, being a sloppy drunk…. Missing appointments, late for appointments, cancel appointments frequently or any undesirable or "politically incorrect" behavior WILL REFLECT in the number of people who get on your book!! You are on the clock TWENTY-FOUR-SEVEN! The way you conduct yourself away from work as well as AT work WILL, INDEED, AFFECT the reasons people choose to do business with you! Right or wrong… like it or not…. I have seen it too many times….
