January 18

On January 17 th I wrote that I had a pixie model I was excited about. Well they didn’t show up- and I was honestly so flabbergasted the fact that I got no call no show by a fucking model. Like, a free haircut (pixies are my favorite to do) and free color. I was honestly just so tired- and just astonished at how rude people can be when it comes to reserving someone’s time. I came to work at 8 am and I swear every time that day comes for Kiabad’s 8 am appointments so many emotions go thru me when I have to wake up at 6 am. I tell my self “today🥲 today is the day I tell Kiabad we need to figure out another time schedule..” 8 am to be at the salon means 730 and which means I need to be up by 6am to do my makeup, make my breakfast.. cuddle my dogs until one pisses me off so I can be out the door by 7:20am to get to work at 730 to set up for my 8 am. I regret every single time we say we’re both ok with 8 am lol but we both always arrive late to the appt. And then we murmur some words to each other but it’s a mutual understanding that we both hate early mornings .. & we’re dumb for rescheduling so early. But then I start to cut Kiabad hair and we do small talk. Sometimes, if I’ve had by cup of coffee I’m talking more than him. He just raw dogs his mornings without coffee- because a man who is engaged to a barista aka his fiancé blu 🥰 doesn’t like coffee lol WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THAT!?😂

My 9am client Aka my model – aka doesn’t show up after 15 minutes.. hasn’t opened my messages of me asking for her eta to the salon.. doesn’t show up. Can you fucking believe it? I was so annoyed, but my dumb ass gave her the benefit of the doubt.. I thought “ she’s never been here, so maybe she’s lost… maybe she’s one of those people who doesn’t text and drive” but then 9:45 am came around and I started to get mad.. but then panic. What if she got into a car accident- all because I needed a model. But then 10:30am came by she sent a message saying she thought I meant February 18- then she said “I’m just going to another stylist. Thank you for the opportunity.” Cory said that I maybe just needed some humbling. Lol the lords way to tell me to stop thinking I’m the shit. Even tho I don’t think I am. I was frustrated because I don’t like my time being wasted. I went back to the messages to see if there must of been a miscommunication- but there wasn’t. I said “I have a opening this Wednesday the 18th.” She got a text message with the date and time. I took the time out of my day to block out a day where I have as a day off but also have it available for clients. I lost content to create, I lost time and I lost money. This is why it’s important to set boundaries with clients. You cannot be a people pleaser in a business. It’s just not good business. You can’t say yes to everything and not have some sort of boundaries and understanding that saying no- is ok. Model or not she will never be able to book with me. My boundaries with new or old clients.. is you no call no show- you will be blocked. I do not like my time being wasted- and I don’t like to waste anyone’s time. In my business I expect my clients to respect my time.. just like I respect theirs.. I take my time to ensure I do quality hair as best as I can.That way their time isn’t being wasted. Anyways, Vic… I mean this in the nicest way possible.. THANK YOU FOR WASTING MY NF TIME. Next time you agree to something that is free.. make sure you communicate and don’t leave someone fucking hanging. PSA all the beauty industry wants .. the small businesses in the beauty industry wants clients to know is we don’t get mad that you reschedule or even cancel- I guarantee you 98.9% of the small businesses in the beauty industry would want from clients in a moment of canceling or rescheduling is to fucking communicate with us! End of rant
