I have a question and I am interested in answers from everyone but am particularly interested in receiving a response from Diana Bonn and Karen Hodges. (a friend suggested them as a good source) Let me give you a little bit of background: ~I am a booth renter. I also contribute extra when the shop advertises. (advertises only occasionally) ~there was no contract signed nor any verbal agreement in regards to these issues listed below, when I began booth renting. ~The owner does take bookings through a shop phone number and delegates any new clients how she feels. In a recent meeting the owner stated that "all" of the clients serviced at this shop are "shop clients" and not our own individual clients. I have had referrals "stolen" by other nail techs because the referral called the shop number vs. my cell phone number. I have had messages left by my clients that have never made it to me for whatever reason. I try and get my clients to use my cell vs. the shop phone number but this is making the shop owner angry. She has stated that all clients must use the shop line. She has told us she is overwhelmed by all that it takes to run the shop and keep up with her clients so she has asked us to take on a job like dusting, cleaning the bathroom etc. so things will be a little easier for her to manage. I do not mind doing this, because i consider her a friend, but i feel like she is not recognizing that we are not salaried employees. Again, i do not mind helping her because the tasks that she is asking for help with really are minimal time wise. But if I didnt feel this way and decided to take a stand that I am not "an employee", i would be the bad guy. We just had a recent situation where I went out of town and tried to book a client that I service with a specific nail tech in the shop (not the owner). This client does not like the way the owner does her nails and was very clear that she wanted a specific nail tech to do her nails. Because she is a regular client of mine, i offered to call the shop and reschedule her with this other nail tech while I was out of town. The owner booked the appointment and let me hang up the phone thinking i booked with someone else but she put it in her spot. To make a long story short, it ended up causing some drama the actual day of the appointment and when i discussed this with the shop owner as to what happened with the appointment and how did she end up in her book, she got angry (probably because she was caught in a lie) and hung up on me. When we did talk again about it (a week later) she said it is her salon and her appointment book and that is the way it is gonna be. She could rebook my client with whom ever she wanted. I again pointed out to her that i kind of felt she was being deceptive because she let me hang up the orignal call thinking i had booked my client with this other nail tech. She basically said that was too bad and kept asking what the problem was and i finally had to tell her that my client didnt want her to do her nails and my client had a right to request any other nail tech that she wanted. *there obviously is more to these stories, I just gave you a quick synopsis. It is so frustrating at times to deal with this stuff. I just want to go to work, have fun, do my job and go home with no stresses. It seems like the drama and immaturity is making this place unenjoyable. Is there a place or website that specifically outlines the rules for booth rent vs. employment. If i do decide to bring these issues up with her the only way i will have any foot to stand on, is by giving her these rules from an independent source other than myself.
