Politics In The Salon

Remember way back in Beauty School when Mrs. Jones said "never discuss religion, politics, or sex in the salon!" Well Mrs. Jones wasn't just blowing hot air.

 

 I try to stay away from these subjects, but this election year I have found more than ever people are picking you for your opinion. I try to change the subject, but when that doesn't work I simply agree with the client. When it comes to politics, I have found People are so passionate, I fear they will leave you over your choice in Presidents faster than giving them a chemical hair cut! A friend of mine claims she has voted for both candidates at least 50 times!

 

I am in this business because I enjoy the interaction with people, and making them feel good. I don't want them to leave feeling frustrated and mad, even if their hair looks good.

 

Other stylists in our salon have voiced concern about this subject. How do you handle this situation?
