A friend of mine, Gina, started getting waxed by this young esthetician a couple months ago, we'll call her Nari. She describes Nari as a " super nice late 20 something girl who does her job b/c it's familiar to her and she's good at it". Apparently she's the best at body waxing, threading eyebrows, etc. Gina genuinely liked her enough to want to be friends with her outside of Nari's work. I told her that's great, but would it be weird? If people asked where did you guys meet, what would be the response? Would you say, " Nari knows me in the same regards as my gyno"? I mean at least it would be a good conversation ice breaker.
The other day Gina went to her appt. w/Nari. Afterwards she called me and asked, "How do I tell Nari she didn't do a good job"? My response was to tell her she didn't do a good job and see if she can do it over. This was not what Gina wanted to hear (Kanye shrug). She was worried that if she told Nari this it would sound mean. Nari had confided in her that she was going through some family stuff, which is why she didn't feel like herself. So this situation is EXACTLY why they can't be friends at both her job and outside, she has to pick one. Either keep it casual at her job while she's performing her services or don't go to her professionally and just hang out. Customer service whether a friend or not is the most important. I mean it's a paid service, Nari isn't doing this for free and even if she was she still needs to do it right. The conclusion of this Gina and Nari episode is that Gina did not tell Nari she didn't do a good job but promised next time she would. Nari sounds nice and all, but get a grip girl and by grip I mean around that waxing stick and do it right.
Took this on my iPhone. Since we're talking about waxing, a bird and a flower have perfect alignment.
