After being a steady and loyal customer for years, he called me around 9pm the day before my appointment and said he doesn’t want to do my hair anymore. I tried to find out why but he was breaking up so much I couldn’t make much out (he was using his cellphone). I did hear “Good luck to you” and he hung up on me. I hate how he waited till the last minute to tell me that. And I hate calls that late from anyone.

I only made out something about his clients lives and I think he was pissed I never confided in him or got him in my personal life but I didn’t feel comfortable. He was yelling into the phone….I thought he was tell him stuff. I also think he was offended when I said he’s abrupt sometimes when telling me how to handle my hair. He then said “I’m not talking to you anymore.” So he finished my hair in silence but had to speak when I booked the next appointment. He could’ve told me then but maybe he’s too cowardly. He never apologized to me for his demeanor or say he didn’t realize he comes off that way or SOMETHING.

I think it was stupid for him to turn away steady business, since he’s self employed. I even accommodated him on occasions when he preferred cash!
And this is how I get treated. He did do good work and had reasonable fees but I’m not obligated to open up to him, if that’s what pissed him off. I’m just guessing as I don’t know what else it could be. I was on time, I knew about when I wanted my next appointment to be, etc.

Again I know I’m a bit off topic but I wanted to make a point that even a business relationship may not be as solid as you think.

In hindsight it’s funny but just in a dark humor way. I mean wtf??

Oh yes in this scenario he was way too involved with his clients, he offended too easily as well. I find it so cringy when people open up about their personal lives whether it’s between coworkers or between employee and client, they act like they’re best friends. Most people really don’t care, although sharing positive stuff like weddings and graduations isn’t as bad as negative stuff. Overall, I agree that even professional relationships aren’t as solid as they seem.
