I don't as most of the time they just want to come and have their treatment. If they were drinking or eating then I wouldn't be able to start until they were finished - you dont want them having dust or vapours settling in their coffee instead of sugar now do you LOL.

Hi
I offer tea, coffee, water or cordials - bascially anything cold i have in ! i also have an ice machine in my fridge freezer - which is going down really well with the warm weather coming !
I have bought some really groovy tall mugs with lids (they actually look like they have l&p 3d flowers on them !) for my clients drinks to enable them to protect their drink if they still have it when i start their service.
Agree with Stacey, its a nice welcome - I ALWAYS offer, though not always wanted if they are in a rush etc

Great idea about the covered mugs, Karren, I may have to shamelessly pinch that one!
I offer tea or coffee, and also keep a selection of those mini cans of drink (coke, lemonade, lilt etc) and cold water. I think it helps them feel at home, and also some treatments can drag a bit so at least if they have a drink at the start they shouldn't get too dry a mouth halfway through. The worst is when they decline a drink at the beginning and then ask for one halfway through, and you have to stop the treatment to go and get them one.
Thinking of getting one of those every-drink-under-the-sun hot drinks makers, but don't have enough clients yet to make it worthwhile. The same for one of those mini water dispensers, and at least that way I wouldn't have to leave the room to make the drinks.

I Have Only Done A Few Clients But Always Have Asked Them If They Would Like A Drink To Me This Is Very Welcoming. Ok You Must Remember About The Dust/fumes But The Mugs With The Lids On Are Great.
Thinking About It The Drink Is Normally Drank Quite Early While The Prep Is Going On.
Not Everyone Wants A Drink But I Know I Would Like To Be Offered One If It Were Me Getting A Treatment Done.
I Have Hot And Cold Drinks In All The Time So This Is What I Would Offer.

yep same hear always offer tea/coffee or some thing cold, gets things off to a good start. xxxxxxxx
I have a water dispenser that does chilled and room temperature - it's loaded with bottles of Evian.
No tea/coffee, it would get in the way on the desk, take up too much time and I worry about ingestion
My cups of water are really little so they tend to get drunk almost immediately so there's not much chance of dust getting in the water, also you can see it floating on top if it does

I make them a drink before I start and use the time to discuss their treatment. I also show them any retail products that I have.
Hiya x
I also offer drinks as soon as they arrive...and i use the Creative cups with the lids...(they are so lovely) but what makes me laugh is when Rob (better half) is here when clients arrive....he is like the hostess with the mostess....he makes the drinks and then comes in a little later with some mini shortbreads on a plate....i am sure he only does it cos my ladies go "" ahhhhh isnt he good.. bless him ""

I usually offer a drink at the start too, by the time consultation & prep is done its finished.
Then once the door is shut, he'll ask me if I was happy with them and OFFER HIS CRITIQUE
Cheeky devil!!!
I have this with Mark, he also says "lets have a look then...oooh dont they look fantastic" as they leave.NailStyle said:
