‘She gave me no apologies’: Professional wedding esthetician helps out an old friend from high school, gets left to deal with the Karen mother-in-law, which ends the friendship

At what point as a professional is it okay to give your friends a discount and when is it okay to tell them no? If it's your own business, it's truly up to your discretion. We suggest only giving slight discounts to very close friends and family, but even then, it should be a rare occasion. Here, we see a small business owner make the classic blunder of giving some not-so-close friends a discount and it blowing up in her face. 

 

She is a licensed esthetician and very proud of the work she does. Some friends she new in high school reached out to hire her. They weren't the closest friends, but she gave them a discount anyways to be nice. Plus, she got invited also as a guest with a +1. Everything would have been fine if it weren't for the entitled mother-in-law. She was a total Karen and took it all out on this makeup artist. The esthetician, aka the friend doing the bride a favor, tried to get people on her side and seek help from the people who were actually related to this Karen. Perhaps they could reel her entitlement in? But nope, she got ghosted…
