tanning... divorcee mecca? - tanTALK

glowtanning530 · 03-23-2006, 09:39 AM

Recently I have had a flood od divorced or soon to be divorced wives coming in and tanning... which is fine and to be expected, but intrestingly enough right behind them would be the husbands tanning. This creates intresting dynamics. I tell both that no information is given about either and keep their issues outside the salon.
I had a wife who tanned with me first come and say my husband never had an intrest in tanning before... why is he coming now. I wasn't sure if she was implying something or if I was just someone she wanted to ask a question to. I got really nervous that this could lead to some drama. Truth is I think I have seen the husband once. Anyone else have these issues... how do you handle them?

A client's personal information is private..... Just keep to that unless it is a minor then I would tell a parent.

I do keep it private I stress that to each one. The problem is they are usually walk ins. This town is a very small town, I am the only salon... it just is a pain to deal with it all.

I am in a small town and everyone knows gossip about everyone. We get the divorcee's or soon to be divorcee's coming in and the funny part is when they are coming out of the room and their ex is sitting on the couch waiting for the same bed. YIKES talk about awkward. Best part is stay out of any conversations....at that time they are both looking for anything to run back to other to make em feel like shiaaaat. We just conduct our business the same with everyone....that way nobody can say other wise.
