Re: stealing private information from a business

Absolutely, even if there is no covenant not to compete or written contract that prevents them from doing this. They are stealing your property, that being taken your clients to another salon. You can recover any damages you suffered and probably punitive damages. The issue is how much can you collect as it would probably $5,000 to take this case to an arbitration and you can sue the salon as well as your former employees.
