Basically I borrowed money from a client. It’s an usual occurrence in which I borrow money from him twice a month and give it back to him at bookings once I’ve made it back up. I have debts I need to pay off so it’s a secure way for me to get by.

The guy is a lovely regular but he turned sour yesterday when I said I could t take his booking, I was due him money yesterday. And he started to get angry with me and tell me I should be taking the money to him and not the other way around.
I told him he is getting aggressive and he needs to calm down but he thinks he is in the right.
Shows regulars can turn sour quick as anything.

Can you not pay him back with making a booking?

He was meant to be coming round to mine last night but I got an offer of a two hour booking instead of his one hour booking, so I took that instead. I just told him that my sister was coming round.

He then got angry with me and said if I borrow money from him maybe I should be taking it to his house and not him having to come to mine for a booking to get his money back.
I told him he is being aggressive by saying this but he says that he is right in his thinking.

So you cancelled his booking in favour of a 2 hour with someone else is that right?

Pay him back with the money from other booking. Then block him maybe.

You don't need him. Maybe focus on getting new clients instead

No I only expect money for services I provide otherwise it gets too complicated. You will get people angry if they feel you're using them. Are you in debt because it's slow right now? I had to stop any luxuries and focus on paying my bills.

I’ve asked other clients for money before but they don’t agree to give me. This is why I kind of need to keep him on side.

Do you have a way of getting extra money out of clients or who is likely to give you it?

Wow! quite shocking.

I know you think they would give money and trust us.

Why? I don't give my hairdresser money for no reason, I pay him to do my hair and if he can't organise his personal finances properly that's nothing to do with me or any of his other customers. If I want more money, I work more - that's how it happens.
