I was extremely flattered last week, when I was offered the great opportunity of being hired, to fly all expenses paid with an assistant to Greece to do wedding hair and make-up for a bride. With wonders like the internet and the use of my web site, the client found me and loved what was on the site so much that she wanted to hire me as a result.
The wedding was to be held out side a hotel on an October’s day. Fantastic I thought, a chance to practice my rusty Greek ( once learnt from an old boyfriend ) but, when I checked, I was mortified to realise that I was already booked for the same date! Having wracked my brain for an alternative solution and the possibility of some one else taking my orriginal job, I realised that my loyalty was to the client who had already made the booking and given a deposit to secure it.
Oh well I thought! It takes a long time to build up a good reputation a short time to loose it and hopefully another chance will come to do a wedding like that.!!
