Hello sorry I keep writing on salon geek about home salon but I am in the process of setting it up and my husband has limited ideas on the subject as he is a plumber!!! Things I would like to know.
I currently run as a small salon but considering changing and doing it at home as the staff stress and high bills is not really worth it now I have had a baby.The home salon I would have set up like a mini salon with own door and separate loo so hopefully very professional.
* do you still have a card machine??or cash only I would love to get rid of the machine as just another out going but will this annoy clients and limit retail spend?
* do you have clients coming round to change appointment on your days off or have you trained them to call only?
* Do you use your home phone or just mobile for clients to contact you?
*Is it hard to relax in your home on days off?
*Currently I do very well for gift vouchers from husbands at xmas how do you go about this do you arrange a time for them to pop in?
*how much extra time do you allow per client as on your own to set up for next one etc.. I don't want to hurry them out the door but also need to make the most of working days.
* I have a few clients that sit for 30min after a manicure to let them dry which is ok as I have a reception area atm how do you go about this at home? Seems annoying to book all that time extra for no more money but at the same time don't want to rush
* I'm hoping my wage will improve as atm its very hard with all the large overheads a salon has.Do you find you can earn a living from a home salon?
Thank you so much for any advice Louise xxx
