This should be a lesson to all hairdressers. Make sure you have the details of your customers on an index card for later use. Not just their telephone #, but information on their hair. I have never used a salon that does not have this information on file.

I discussed this with my hairdresser at Salon Jaylee. She said they have no access to customers information and they would be in trouble if it was discovered that they were collecting phone numbers and email addresses. I used to go to Color Me. When my hairdresser left they called me and let me know where she went. What a better way of doing business! Salon Jaylee will probably lose most of Lindsey's clients anyway so why not give the customer the choice of following her?

I actually found a stylist that cuts my hair better than anyone at Jaylee.
I was surprised to find her at Hair Cuttery.
$18 for wash and cut.

Better yet, don't sign the non-compete agreement. How dare they impose such ridiculous on a person who has paid for their education and who isn't paid a lot for their work.

I have been in The Villages 8 years and I have yet to find someone who can cut my thick wavy hair....no matter what they charge. I very carefully explain what I want and they cut it how they want it. I leave every salon with a mullet! I would love to meet Lindsey!

Are you going to share her/his name?

For those of you starting with a new stylist, perhaps asking the business if they require their employees to sign a non-compete agreement and refusing to use the salon if they do have such a requirement will decrease the practice. It is true that the business provided the opportunity for you to meet the stylist, thus it should own the goodwill. But if consumers simply say, in enough numbers, I will only use salons that do not require non-compete clauses, perhaps they will disappear from the industry. Maybe Gracie's posse can post the results of asking at all the local establishments to determine how widespread this may be.

Her name is Dusty.
She is at Grand Traverse.
I have very fine hair, she texturizes the roots, razor cuts and layers the top.
She is the only person that will razor cut my roots. It gives lift and volume.
Love her

I've been with Lindsey for 8 years. She's become another daughter. I drove to Salon Vo in Inverness last week. It took 45 minutes door to door from Sabal Chase. Easy peasey drive. I love Lindsey. She's a doll, and she's great with my hair. She'll be back in this area in two years. That's only 12 haircuts. Nancy Simmons

Lindsey is at Salon Vo in Inverness. Due to the no compete contract signed with Salon Jaylee she was forced to go to Citrus county.

People are in business to make money. If you work hard then you can be the one to own the salon and demand your employees sign a non compete clause. It's the American way.

Apparently Lindsay is at Salon Vo in Inverness. To bad that she is no longer accessible by golf cart!
