Well... you can PUT them on the Gc ( to encourage speedy use) but you have to honor them past the expiration date...OR you can refuse to honor it but have to send the money that the client spent to "unclaimed funds" in the governmental offices somewhere.... like really... who does that? But I think that makes sense..IF someone spends the money it shouldn't expire. > > > Pati > > 'Good friends are like stars... > You don't always see them, But you know they are always there. > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Anna Z-James <[email protected]> > To: nailtech <[email protected]> > Sent: Sun, Nov 14, 2010 7:39 am > Subject: Re: NailTech:: Help! > > > I am at an AWW with clients period they expect that you are their savior their super woman and want S##t for FREE all the time or expect that you shouldn't have a life or make time for yourself or your family, as if being a manicurist was my hobby or something.... > > I recently ran a special that if you pre-purchased a pedicure your received the a 2nd 1/2 off I had a client purchase the 2 certificates that had expiration dates on them...(Mind you she is not my only client and I don't have a memory of steal)...She came in got a pedicure and paid cash, 2 weeks later she said "oh I forgot to use my certificate" I stated to her bring it in and use it before it expires the next time because I didn't remember that you purchased them...She called to tell me that it had already expired....Well if you'd like I can honor it at half off...Now both of the certificates are expired cause she brought them both in for me to look at....I'm sorry the most I can do is 1 pedicure at half off, the special was designed so that you would come in and maintenance your feet regularly, 1 for each month I can not honor the special as they are already 2 months expired, not to mention that if you had a gift card from Target or any other major store and it was expired they wouldn't honor it either. > > Lynette - You did the best job you could have done to satisfy this client and yet she still did not respect your profession enough to allow you to do your job correctly nor did she respect the fact that you were using a professional product on her...Tell that poorlittle woman that you can't warranty the product that she purchasedfrom QVC cause it is not a professional product that you carry nor doservices with...had it been a product that you carried or used for yourservices that you would have warrantee it...Sorry...I'm also really baffled by the fact that she said she couldn't afford the services from you however she purchased a $30 item from QVC then turned around and asked you to used it on her rather then she do it her self....WOW! > > > This is mybusiness not my hobby...I do not receive a paycheck from a majorcorporation and I am the boss....I can not continue to keep giving upmy time and services to others that have not made my time for services as a priority or the respect of my business any more!

I don't feel that I am able to provide the level of service that you require any longer. I like to believe that I know my limits and I am unable to continue at the level you require. You are quite particular and I respect that, so I am going to let you find a new salon in which to have your nails done. Have a beautiful day, and it was nice to have met you!
