What is an “energy vampire manicure” – and why masters are afraid to do it

Energy vampires are people who “feed” on negative emotions. They get pleasure when they spoil the mood of others. Especially when they criticize and submit to their will those whom, for various reasons, they consider inferior and weaker than themselves.

Service professionals also often encounter the energetic vampirism of their clients. He can have several types, but in one case or another it is unpleasant to meet him. And even dangerous from the point of view of work.

“A middle-aged woman came to see me recently for a manicure. While I was doing her nails, she constantly told me how bad everyone is: her stepdaughter is not good, and her son disappoints her, and she was rude in the store today. Listening to all this, I immediately thought to myself, “Problems with such a customer cannot be avoided”, manicure specialist says on social media .

At the end of the procedure, the woman was satisfied with the result, gladly agreed to do a mini-photoshoot of her manicure and thanked the master. A few days later, she unexpectedly gave the specialist the lowest rating and wrote a negative review about her disappointment with her manicure, even though it didn’t deteriorate. What exactly did not suit the client, one can only guess: the reluctance of the master to participate in the discussion of strangers or other expectations of the procedure that did not come true.

“Yes, we know of such energy vampires!” I won’t be surprised if she comes in a month and starts saying your manicure didn’t last as long as she’d like. And she will insist on having it all redone for her at half price,” another master comments on a colleague’s post.

Of course, the customer’s desire is the law. But masters don’t have to put up with rudeness and toxic influence. Sometimes in-demand specialists even deny these women further appointments for their services. After all, it’s better to take a long break and get ready to receive other clients than to spoil the mood of the whole day and get mentally tired after the “vampire energy manicure”!
