Sometimes a mouth shut is the money maker

I have learned a lesson since I graduated beauty school. We as nail techs or hair dressers need to learn to shut up n listen. Don't make jokes because the person listening may not know u well enough to know its a joke. I have had this lesson taught to me today. So a quiet mouth is better feed in some cases. Usually I'm the one saying a quiet mouth don't get fed. Well in the beauty industry it's the opposite. U wanna get paid shut ur mouth. Don't give your opinion unless asked. You are there to do what they want and that's it. Keep it professional even if you have known them forever.
My personal experience in this: I had a client that I have been friends with for a while. Last time I did her pedicure she was talking to me bout her wedding. So I jokingly said ill upstage u at ur wedding. Not meaning it but she took it personally. Now I'm out a client as well as a friend. She didn't take my joke well. It upset her n now more friend as a client. Even though I apologized it didn't matter it hurt her. So please learn from this experience of mine!
