A treatment that I need to have monthly sessions of, I went for the first time a week ago and the lady doing it was very nice but just very over the top.
It was just endless compliments and fussing and I feel awful saying that, it's better than somebody being rude or hostile, but it really was too much.
Every other sentence was:
"Ooh aren't you sweet"
"Ooh aren't you pretty"
"Ooh don't you have lovely nails"
"Ooh don't you look young for your age"
"Ooh aren't you polite"
"Ooh you're shy aren't you"
"Ooh haven't you got lovely hair"
"Ooh you're so lovely"

And it was just me consistently blushing, laughing nervously and saying thank you.
It was just constant and even though she said nice things I felt like i couldn't relax and enjoy my treatment. Aibu to cancel (with notice) and find another place who does it ?
Just hate having all the attention on me and also hate when people point out I'm shy and so on even if it's not meant badly I'm sure.

It didn't work for you, of course you cancel and take your business elsewhere!

Yeah, the treatment itself was good but I couldn't cope with the constant fussing, I'm sure she's the same with all clients and it's probably just her way of making them feel good but I really couldn't relax.

I would hate that too. Lots of people would enjoy it, maybe, but I think the person you've chosen isn't for you, which isn't your fault, it's just unfortunate. I would back away slowly from anyone banging on like they've in love with me or I'm the loveliest thing they'd ever seen. That's just weird. And a bit creepy.

Bit hard to say without knowing what the treatment is but this is a good opportunity to practise assertiveness. Say something like "do you mind if we don't talk during this session? I've been on back to back calls all day/week and I've been really looking forward to some quiet time". Then see if she can stay quiet! She's probably just nervous (although I'm sure you do have lovely nails etc).

Is it the type of treatment you could go to and say you were not feeling chatty and so would they mind just letting you enjoy it without chat?

PinkDaffodil2 · 01/05/2021 08:34

It depends a bit what treatment you need? Chemo need, physio need, nail extensions need?

Sweetaddiction88 · 01/05/2021 08:36

I guess I could say that yeah, and maybe she was nervous. It just made me uncomfortable even though I'm sure that wasn't her intention, but I will have a think about what I'm going to do if I'll go back.

It's a facial laser treatment
