I would ask your customer what he/she is listening on, and at what volume. If they're listening on headphones, suggest they try speakers, and at a low volume. Even listening very quietly, you want to still be able to hear all elements of the mix, not just the vocal. Also, ask for a reference,

I'd love to meet the mastering engineer who can supposedly bring those louder than already too loud vocals back down. This is just the same thing as saying "fix it in the mix" but one stage removed. IE, not a good idea. My advice is simple. Give him your opinion, along with some reference tracks.
