All Style, No Substance
Me: “Thank you for calling [Hair Salon]. How may I assist you?”
Customer: “Yes, I was in there last week and I got my hair done by [stylist].”
Me: “Okay. Is there a problem?”
Customer: “No, I think it looks great.”
Me: “I’m sorry, I’m a little confused. Is there something I can help you with?”
Customer: “Well, I’d like to come back in and have it re-done.”
Me: “Ma’am, I thought you said you liked it. Is there a problem?”
Customer: “Every time [stylist] does my hair my friends all tell me how great it looks, this time no one has even noticed I got it done. I’d like to come back in and have it re-done so people will notice it.”
Me: “Well, [stylist] is very busy this week. I’m not sure if he will be able to get you in.”
Customer: “But what am I supposed to do?!”
(By this time I had looked up her name from the caller ID and found the day she came in 6 days prior.)
Me: “I was here last Tuesday and I remember when you left, your hair looked amazing!”
Customer: “Oh really? Great! Tell [stylist] I’ll see him for my next appointment in 7 weeks, and I want the color he did this time. I just love it!”
