I think we are reluctant to charge initially because we never feel good enough. :Love: In the long run I guess this will make us better techs because we are always trying to improve and strive for perfect nails.
Myself ..........I dont think I have the personality to be a business woman:smack:
On Monday (Bank Holiday) evening I got a phone call at 5.30pm could I do a full set of nails tonight:irked: I must admit I hesitated and considered changing my plans for the evening but came to my senses. so I asked her to ring back in the morning at 9am (again I had plans builders coming but thats another story). It turns out she wants the nails done before 1pm. She didn't ring me until 10.30am
I'm still taking a couple of hours to do a full set so I explained to her that unless she got to mine asap I couldnt guarentee we would be finished in time (bearing in mind traveling times etc). She arrived at my house at 12.30pm
. so I'd spent the last two hours getting ready and waiting and waiting for her.
When she arrived I was prepared to say that I couldnt do them and if she wanted them doing before 1pm she had no chance
She said that the 1pm deadline was'nt important anymore and that she had time to spare as she was'nt going out until 5.30pm.
The up shot was I did her nails (she was a great girl) because I was'nt happy with one of her nails (it had a bit of a glass look effect on the pink) I only charged her £12 ( I would usually charge £15) AND I drove her home (I know how soft/ mad am I)
Back to the original thread yeah I guess we do undervalue ousevlves and we need this site to ensure that we begin to respect ourselves because if we dont no-one else will.
take care
