Seriously - I've never seen anything quite like it. It made a zz top beard look trimmed. Kissing him - well it was like being assaulted by an goddamed animal. I don't mind beards - but bloody hell. He was a bit odd but harmless - I think he was overcome with nerves and guilt. I don't screen for beards  But would you have expected a client to mention this when they booked?

No. It’s a beard. He wouldn’t have given it a second thought.  I had a client with hair right down his back yesterday.

As with all things we dislike, which is our prerogative, I put them in my FAQs and that’s my get out clause.

For example (amongst many things I will not tolerate) I do not entertain morbidly obese men as I have always found hygiene issues.

They won’t know what you don’t like unless you specify it and then if someone hasn’t read your properly you can turn them away.

I find when men tell me about beards they are often seeking reassurance, checking it's ok. I actually find longer beards absolutely fine, it's the shorter spiky ones, designer stubble and body hair stubble that irritate me the most.

I don’t like beards 🤢 I’ve seen food stuff in a few, slavours etc etc it makes me feel sick. So if a guy does have a beard it’s no kissing. This is mentioned in my FAQ’s
