The difference

My friend Alice needed to see her client on next monday, She intended to trim her long hair.
Yesterday Alice went to hair salon A, Alice talked to the hair designer:" I need to trim my hair to look neat because I need to visit important client." Hair designer A [look serious and no smiling ] said:" Your hair needed to be permed straight, it costs $130." Alice said:' I just want to cut it shorter. Hair designer said:" No, no matter what, your hair must be permed straight, in order for you to look good, there is no other way." After hearing this, Alice felt hurt and said:" Let me consider first. " Alice walked out and went to other hair salon.
Alice went to hair salon B, the smiling hair designer was very friendly and said:' Hi, how can I help you? please take a seat and have a cup of coffee.' Alice told her about the intention. The experienced hair designer said:" to make your hair look neat, there is two solution, cut it shorter or perm , need not perm straight. Alice said:" ok, cut it short."
She look really neat, she spent only $23.
My friends, do you notice any difference in term of their customer service.

Hi,

Salon A is crap when it comes to customer service and just lost a customer.

Salon B gained $23 and a customer because of their good customer service.

Take care :]

Salon B has the best customer service. Salon A should study more about customer service. Lol.

well, yeah of course... definitely there's na difference between salon A & B! salon A is just after what he will earn from the client/service... salon B is more of being concern, sensitive and responsible to the needs of the client! attitude counts!

thanks coolingstar for sharing! take care! : ) cheers
