When a client says "I don't like this lip," they aren't rejecting you. They are rejecting a colour. Treat it as data. Become a detective, not a victim. How do you handle it when a client asks for a change? Do you freeze up or dive in?

We lean over clients, straining the lower back. Fix this by engaging your core (tighten stomach) while applying liner. Bring the client's face to your level; don't lower your body to theirs.

Sending a "Venmo me" text screams hobbyist. Sending a PDF invoice screams professional. Invoices create a necessary paper trail for tax season and legal protection. How do you currently collect payments? (Honeybook, Square, Excel, paper?). Let us know your workflow.

-  A contract isn't just about getting paid; it's about protection. A "Force Majeure" (Act of God) clause protects you from being sued if you can't show up due to something out of your control (like a hurricane or severe illness). Have you ever had a client cancel last minute or refuse to pay? Briefly share your story below so we can learn what to look out for.
