This one is tricky but I think the last entry supplied you the definitions from the dictionary, but that does not cover practical usage. Add this to that definition.
I owned a salon for 9 years and the people who would walk in or come it to by products were customers. The people who I serviced their needs on a regular basis were my clients. Client lends a more routine and familiar , yet respectful association than the word customer.
