Ep. 262: Ask Your Best Friend in Beauty: My Client Left Me For Another MUA! - Akua Robinson
🚨 MAKEUP ARTIST DRAMA ALERT! 🚨Imagine this—you’ve been loyal to your client for years, only to find out they went behind your back and booked another MUA… who just so happens to be your friend! 😳
In today’s Ask Your Best Friend in Beauty episode, we’re diving into a letter from "Beat & Betrayed," a Makeup Artist who got blindsided when her long-time client switched artists without saying a word. Instead of dwelling on the drama, I’m giving her REAL advice on how to professionally handle the situation and make a powerful mindset shift that could transform her beauty biz forever. 💡✨
IN THIS EPISODE, WE’LL DISCUSS:
✔️ How to detach emotionally from client decisions
✔️ Why scarcity mindset is hurting your business (and how to shift it)
✔️ How to have uncomfortable conversations with clients with ruining the relationship
