Steps to follow concerning “How to break up with a client?”
If you are attempting to break up with a client with no probability of success, act upon the steps discusses as follows (which may or may not be in order):
Know that you deserve respect
Understand that you deserve as much respect as your client does.
- If they are not able to respect you, give you the wage you want, and are not able to come on time, they do not respect you and your life at all.
- In this case, you should feel no doubt and no embarrassment concerning what you have to do, and you shall be able to ask them with utmost confidence to accept your “resignation”.
Be respectful towards them
You should make sure you are as respectful as possible to them as you communicate with them. Being harsh, grumpy, and totally rude will now allow a good end.

Be totally honest with them
You need to be totally honest with your clients. If you hide anything from them, it will cause problems for both of you. Don’t tell them “I’m busy!” or “I’ll do your hair in the future.” Just tell them you cannot work for them honestly. It may be harsh at first, but it will be liberating for both of you in the end.
Be firm and do not take the pressure
You have no reason to take the pressure. By taking pressure here I mean giving in to their emotional blackmailing or their empty threats. You will have a lot of second thoughts during the break up, just like a break up from a long-term romantic relationship, but it will liberate you, eventually.
