Student Life
The growth mindset card “Your most unhappy customers are your biggest source of learning” is up there as a top worry for any new learner, Barber, or stylist going on the shop floor that a client will complain about. This fear and anxiety can carry on through your career and this is called surviving not thriving. You want to enjoy your job and relationships with your clients. You know you are a nice person, you know you would help anyone. Can you own your part and put your ego aside to find the truth and lesson in the complaint? It might not be your fault but remember you bring your half of the relationship and they bring theirs. You can't control an online review or client but you can be kind,honest with your manager and bring your half. Sometimes it's nothing to do with the hair but that's a deeper discussion for another day.
