Here at Bewitched Salon, the compliment is king…(or queen, for that matter.)
But when a client told me, “You’ve lost weight, haven’t you?”, what did I think? That I must have looked fat before.
The next day, decked out in my new (and very expensive) foundation and concealer, a client commented,
“You’re wearing new makeup! It looks better than that white stuff you usually wear.”
Now, had I known that I was looking like a cosmetic ghost, would I have wanted her to tell me? Possibly not.
The lethal compliment can be tricky.
Okay, there’s more. Last night, a friend remarked, “I love that lipstick you’re wearing! That red color you wore the other day was awful.”
Who asked you?
In life, we know that sugar gets us so much further than vinegar.
So the next time I get a double whammy of a compliment, I’ll do one of two things. I’ll recite my mantra of peace on earth, silently. Or I’ll swear like a sailor, inside my head.
Here at Bewitched, we are the flagship salon for cutting edge color called the Geo Palette. Go to www.geopalette.com and see what we’re doing. Our clients leave with gorgeous color and get unsolicited compliments that are as pure as snow.
