So, we had our first weeks trading and we've been received fairly well. A couple of raised eyebrows when I talk about male waxing but I have broad shoulders and am a "woman of the world". I'm also very comfortable with my choice of market so I expect to get a reaction from people as not everyone gets it.
So, I had one guy in on Saturday, who wore very dark, large sunglasses asking about our waxing services who just didn't seem right. But I remained professional and gave him a price list and he left. All good.
Today, I answered the phone to a young 20-something sounding voice who seemed cagey. Asks about massage and I explain I can book him in tomorrow as we were about to close for the day. He asks if its about half an hour and I explain the different treatments available and the timings. He then says do we offer any extras? I said no, we don't, we are not that kind of business to which he said OK, I know where to come if I want a proper one!!! Bless him, glad I'm offering a proper treatment as opposed to something "not proper"?????
The male species living up to their reputation!!!!! and leaving me disappointed that ladies working in the male market can't be taken seriously.
