Many years ago I wrote an article for NAILS mag "Who Owns The Client?". There was a sidebar about non-competes there. It is my understanding from someone who has broken MANY non-competes that it would be hard to find a judge that would hold them up in court. Especially in this day and age with people losing jobs like crazy. Judges do not want to keep anyone from putting food in their mouths or a roof over their head. No slamming me on this. I am only telling you about someone I know who has gotten out of MANY non-competes. Bottom line-- do not sign a non-compete. I never would. The first place I applied at wanted me to sign a ten mile non compete. She could pound sand. She is no longer in business. Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I agree, don't say anything. Unless you signed a non-compete what you do when your not at the salon isn't her business. The only time you'd need to tell her is in a few months if you plan to move there because its working out great. Of course at that point you'd be telling your clients too and planning a move. If you don't move then she doesn't need to know, in fact some of your customers there may go to you at the other salon if they need you on one of those days. You are giving yourself another opportunity to be seen and get new clients. I say go for it (but don't get too burned out, you are only giving yourself Sundays off!) -Jess On Aug 31, 8:32 am, LuvKisselle <[email protected]> wrote: > I currently work in a salon Wed-Saturday.
