And was prepared to sit in the chair for the day to get it?
Putting aside this may not be your ideal client, and the expectations may be too high, how much do you think she was prepared to pay?

Now this was the time, early on in the salon days when I the ‘Queen Bitch of Everything’ was ‘helping out’, learning about everything from the ground up – a bit like McDonalds.
