I can't say I have first hand experience with this, but I would imagine it to be a bit of a slippery one. First and foremost, how important is this client to your business, i.e. in how much trouble are you if they pull their business in case the personal relationship goes sour. And secondly, what are your personal feelings about them. Is is lust or love? In the first instance, I wouldn't risk it, but if you feel you're onto a potential future partner here and given that that's what you're after, I'd probably go for it.

I think that at the end of the day that if there is an attraction for more than physcial contact than why not take a chance?

Brian in QUEER AS FOLK is not the real world. There's an old expression. Never shit where you eat. That is, where you work or where you live (same apt. building). Remember, if it doesn't go well, or if you break up, you'll still be running into each other on a regular basis.

As for your stylist, if you guys have a falling out, you could walk out of the salon with pink hair.

I do recall hearing about a barber who liked to feel up his cute customers under that white sheet he threw over them. His shop was across the street from the daily newspaper. One summer day, he was cutting a kid's hair (the kid worked in the newspaper's print shop). The barber was wearing white chinos. It was just the two of them in the shop. He groped the kid and the kid groped him back. It was not until after the kid left the shop that the barber noticed he had black fingerprints on his crotch. Must've been a long day.
