I had to dismiss a client a while ago. I may have mentioned it here, I can't remember.
Long story short, this was a guy that I've known for a long time. He was friends with my brother, and I had even went on a few dates with him when I was in my early twenties....it was nothing special....I considered him a friend.
He had fallen on some really difficult financial times a few years ago, and I gave him haircuts for half price to help him out. When he got his hair cut in August, I charged him the usual ten dollars.....he acts surprised and asked if I had raised my prices. I felt horrible embarrassed and insulted at the same time, but I just let it go.
Then he replies to a post I had made on my facebook page...the one I use for business networking.... where I had asked my friends to like the post, and I'd tell them how we met, my favorite things about them, etc......he said "Don't tell everything, because this is a PG rated site"......Now, THAT pissed off royally. I felt that his comment was extremely rude and highly inappropriate, but I simply deleted the entire post, and went on my merry way.
He got his hair cut a few weeks ago, and after inquiring about the price again, he had the gall to ask me if I would cut his hair at home if he promised to refrain from grabbing my breast.......
That did it.....It was all I could do to maintain a level of acceptable professional composure and not cuss out loud in front of the entire salon. I've blocked him from all my social media, our manager knows I will refuse to cut his hair.....now he amazingly got hold of my cell phone number...... luckily, my carrier allows us to block unwanted callers.

Okay, good vent......
Dang! (((Sunny))) Whatever you do, don't feel guilty about this! You are doing what you must.

Can you request that your manager refuse further services. That was a form of sexual harassment. Hope he will leave you alone. Might be well to keep a journal , just in case.

:laugh: That's about right. I'm not afraid of him, and I'm fairly certain I can beat the everloving holy crap out of him. I'm severely angry and don't want him anywhere near me
Just give us the signal, Sunny. I've got a few friends in Joisey, also. :)
