In reply to: venting about frustrating clients....long and tangentially henna posted by Natasha on August 25, 2003 at 23:55:21:

I'm sorry you had to go through this, Natasha (long time no see, BTW,
How are you?? :)). In my henna work, I mostly do bridal (I actually
prefer it than fairs and such). Although 90% of the brides I've been
in contact with have been really nice, accomodating and friendly,
there were some brides from hell too. I'd accomodate time/date change
ONLY if the inconvenience to me is minimal and I don't have another
appointment at that particular time/date. I'd stand firm with my
decision and let them know that I have other appointments to attend
to. I'd recommend another henna artist to them (I actually have a
little henna artist clique .. hehehe ... and YES, the Fabulous Lezard
is part of it! How cool is that??) and most of them have no problems
with the substitution. Of course I'd let slip that the other henna
artists do fantastic work and that they are lucky to have them do
henna for them :).

I think you should follow your heart in this. She doesn't honour her
word and changed her plans with absolutely no regard to your
convenience (maybe these bridezillas think that we did nothing all
day but just sit around to attend to all their whims??). Alot of
brides seem surprised when I told them I have a day job! I know that
brides go through a considerable amount of stress before their
wedding day and I'm sure that you want her to have a happy wedding.
But you need to think of the yourself too. Maybe you can try again to
recommend another artist (show pictures of their work, etc) and see
what she says. Hopefully she'd be more acceptable.

I realised that if I'm not happy doing henna, then I shouldn't do it
at all (even though the $$ is good). So you should do something that
makes you happy. If you decide to take the bridal job over the other
gig and feel miserable about it, your unhappiness will show through
your work (at least it does for me!).

In any case, I hope everything will turn out well for everyone! Sorry
about the $$ problems, I could only offer a *hug* and a prayer.
Please take care!

Love & peace,

~Jewel~
