  "account": "Celebrity stylist Law Roach has a personal rule: he does not become friends with his clients. This boundary helps maintain clear professional relationships and ensures he can be paid for his work. Roach explained this on SiriusXM, stating that mixing friendship and business can blur lines and make it difficult to invoice clients. He gave the example of a client asking him to pick out an outfit before paying for the service, which creates an issue when invoicing. Roach emphasized that his relationship with Zendaya is an exception due to their shared childhood and close bond. However, he stresses the importance of keeping professional boundaries in all client interactions to avoid complications and maintain a healthy work environment.",
