    If it's not one thing it's another - new shop

I can submit a pre-Application Advice to see if this will be looked on favourably or not and that would cost £150. I think this will be what we do before applying in full...

    wWe use PU half and full bolsters for body support (wipe clean and then sanitised) and personally I use a rolled up towel for under the head or neck if extra support is needed.

    Mobile hairdressers taking baby with them?

    Err..... NO! I certainly would not like it if a therapist turned up with a kid in tow (whatever the age). They certainly would not get a repeat booking.

    Salon software trouble?

    Shedul for us too. it does everything we need it to. lists staff. lists clients. lists treatments and it takes online booking via Fresha. Great bit of software.If I had to moan about anything it would be the look of the Fresha online booking form... but it works so thats good.
