It’s a valid thing to worry about. I’m sorry you have to continue dealing with it–but look on the bright side–at most, you have another year of this, and that’s plenty of time to refine your business plan! 🙂

I’m currently looking into starting my own business, but my family & I will be moving in a year, so I’m thinking I should take time off and focus on what I need to do to begin it the right way. Talking to her wouldn’t change anything, her professionalism is nonexistent to the staff & to clients alike. I have a good following but I worry about retaliation.

I’m sure you’re probably already doing so, but if I were you, I’d be looking for another workplace. You might be replaceable, but doing so would be expensive for the owner. I’d remind her of that. If they want you to stick around long enough for their weak attempt at investing in you to pay off, they better change their attitude. That said, I think it’s unlikely that they will. People who treat employees that way don’t deserve them.

A little over a year ago I started working for a lash studio after leaving a chain that wasnt benefitting me financially. The new studio came with a large commission rate and the possibility of training for new services. Over the last few months she has been making me do services out of my scope of practice. The promised training has been lackluster with a “I’ll show you once” attitude. Whenever I express my concern and discomfort I’m then told I’m replaceable. If I’ve never performed a service before, I dont think its appropriate I do it on a paying client. I love my lash clients, but the other services I’m not familiar with, make me uneasy.

YIKES! Well, typically, any time you lie to a public official it’s considered a big deal. Where the state board is concerned, it’ll likely result in nothing more than a fine, but still, that’s extremely inappropriate. I’m not sure what your liability is here, since you did sign the document (I’m guessing none, since it sounds as if your state just requires the signature of a license holder, which you are), but I’d be upset too. If the manager doesn’t meet the state board’s standards for salon managers, she has no business holding that position.

When the inspector asked her for her license and to sign the report, she refused stating she was only the money holder. Instead she told the inspector I was the manager and made me sign. I am so upset. How can she do this and get away with it? Isn’t that some kind of fraud?

Sorry, I was checking this on my phone and didn’t see the second half of the comment, lol. Personally, I’d have said something even if I knew it was out of my control, if for no other reason then to let him know that his behavior was unacceptable and that he wouldn’t be welcome back at the school, but other people suck, so it’s not surprising they didn’t.

Lol! Well, you have my email address. The last month I was overwhelmingly busy, but I usually respond to emails at least once a day, and Facebook several times a day, so fee free to contact me there. 🙂

Okay, I promise this is my last comment on here because I don’t mean to blow up your comment section, lol.

But do you think that the instructor and director at my school should have done something about Mr. R? Or do you think it was out of their hands because he no longer attended the school?

I completely agree. It’s so important for people to be cautious, particularly when professionals are working in fashion, doing shoots with random photographers.
