LOL, omg, are you serious? Your boss was charged with wage theft and then tried to extort the money from you? Don’t pay her. Send a copy of the letter to the state labor board. Seriously consider talking to an attorney about this harassment. It’s absolutely absurd. SHE stole from YOU. Not the other way around.

Things have become tense, rocky, and tumultuous. The place I once loved to be is now a place I simply go to, put my head down, do my job, and leave. Yes, there have been a couple of times in the past when I thought about leaving the industry altogether, but this is the first time that I have truly considered just walking away and trying something else. The words you have written in this article will stick with me during the meeting being held to discuss the changes in the very near future of the spa. I know who I am, I know what I will and won’t do, I know what my clients do and do not want. Thank you for your support, even though you’ve never met me and I’ve never met you this has been exactly what I needed from somebody in the industry. I don’t know what the future will bring, but I hope for some joy very soon.

Every one of us has been there before–multiple times, lol. I swear, the first three years we spend in the salon out of school is the absolute worst because it seems like every couple of weeks we either botch a service or make some kind of devastating professional mistake. Even after that, there’s always some experience that makes us think seriously about giving up and doing something easy, like office work, lol. I would have a career crisis about every 18 months, lol. My coworkers could practically mark their calendar. Once I started evaluating what was causing the problems, I could just work through them. I haven’t had one since.

Your website has been a god-send for me. I recently messed up on a service and had an unsatisfied customer that left me at a really low point and questioning my abilities. They asked for a refund and didn’t let me try to fix it. These types of things are so hard for me to move forward from, because I know that people talk and “spread the news” about bad experiences (especially when you’re in a small town like the one I work in). I’ve just moved from a commissioned salon and started booth renting a little over a month ago. Work has been slow and every little thing has me stressed out. I’m a little discouraged, and was even thinking about switching careers, but this post gave me the nudge I needed to feel like I want to stick around a little longer.
