Hello!
I’ve recently been advertising my mobile hairdressing by leaflets. But I did a post on Facebook as well, which has attracted a few clients.
On Friday I went and did a full head of highlights for a lady and cut her daughters hair. When i had finished, she seemed happy with her hair and said she would transfer me the money over as she didn’t have any cash. She told me to send over my bank details and she would do it all.
This wasn’t an unusual thing for people do to and I normally put a lot of trust in people so when I got home, sent over all my details. I understood that she had children she would need to sort out when I left and it was her daughters birthday the next day, so it might not be straight away.
It’s now Monday morning, and she’s not even read any of my messages but has been active… i have only sent the details on Friday evening and then sent another message yesterday just to make sure she got them.
I am pretty sure she isn’t going to pay.
I understand that there is a massive cost of living crisis at the moment and I’m not even fustrated about the money; it just really upsets me I’ve taken my time to go and do her hair for her, which was a lovely colour and she never had any intentions to pay me?
Is there anything that I can do? I know I probably need to give her a little bit longer… or do I just take this on the chin and use it as experience?
