I had the pleasure of spending the past weekend in the company of over 50 henna artists, and during that time, I was included in many conversations regarding the use of contracts with clients - and more specifically, the acceptance of deposits alongside of those agreements. In today's episode, I'm sharing with you how accepting "deposits" could actually be placing your time, money, and business at risk - and how a small shift in language can better protect you from losses.

  • [01:32] A Common Mistake that Henna Artists Make in the Language We Use

  • [04:22] The Problem with Accepting Deposits from Clients

  • [06:43] Why Even "Refundable Deposits" Aren't Ideal

  • [08:03] The Definition of "Deposit" and Why it Matters to Your Henna Business

  • [09:38] How You Can Improve Your Language (And Still Get Paid in Advance!)

  • [12:39] How Making This Shift in Language Can Better Protect Your Business
