There is a thread I put up about the perm previous to this, explaining in more detail what had happened... My "employer" (which is what she likes to call herself towards me) has pushed out 2 other stylists as I started, it put me off right away... But I felt sorry for her as I was the only...
I rushed that post, as I was quite busy, I don't have to give notice to take days off if I have noone booked in. I went to a 'make a claim' solicitors and he couldn't understand why I was being upset as he had read through a contract I had been given and said technically I am employed, yet I pay...

I am absolutely horrified with what had happened! I spent 2 hours apologising to a screaming woman and angry husband, I can't begin to imagine how she must feel, but I don't know if she's going too far in my own opinion!

Saturday 30th of July, I had a perm booked in at 1 o'clock. (as I am a newly level 3 qualified hairdresser.) I didn't book the client in, a friend who used to work with me did. And from recently leaving college, I assumed...
