An extra £5 is nothing for someone who can afford to spend weeks at a time in Thailand.

I imagine that would be so uncomfortable for the pedicurist...

At my work place (and previous work places) a bikini wax is only what is coming out the side of a regular pair of knickers. Nothing more. Clients tend to pull their knickers over so that I can get into the crease with wax, though...

Why don't you put a picture of yourself on the brochure with a little of your background history? Then, you won't have to mention your age - people will see your smiling face for themselves :)

You did what the client wanted, which is what we do in this industry. If the client ONLY wanted your colleague, she would have waited.

I would ask the bride or the child's parents :)

Lots of home-based female massage therapists in my area state 'ladies only.' I see nothing wrong with it.

I worked in a salon doing shampooing many, many years ago. When a client paid and left, unless they specified part of the tip was for me (or gave me something directly), all the tip went to the hairstylist, and so it should. The hairstylists I assisted there were happy to give me a wash/blow...

Your prices are way too low. £4 for a basic pedicure?! Why would you do that to yourself and to others here in the industry? Don't undervalue your time or skill. Please, charge your worth.

I have a Saturday off this month and one next month to take personal interest workshops, and have offered to work the Monday each time in lieu of and the spa's owner is happy with that - and I don't lose out on any pay!

Somewhere like Whistler might be worth considering - lots of hotels with spas there, close to Vancouver which is just a short flight or drive away from the USA (if you're set on wanting to spend some time exploring there too.)

In order to work in the USA you'd need some sort of working visa, and if you had one you'd have to also take the licensing exam for whatever state it is you chose to settle in. I have both British and Canadian citizenship and haven't found an easy way to be able to work in the USA, and things...

Okay - don't know either of you, or your working relationship so I'm going in blind here. But I noticed that two times you said "we" decided it wasn't worthwhile, but perhaps your team member felt it actually was worthwhile and didn't want to argue with you, and when the client offered to help...

Truly my pleasure! Couple more: bring a small selection of teas (I find clients who love tea enjoy trying something they'd never think of buying!) and a couple different scents of lotions rather than just one (not sure what you have already, but, I find clients love choices!) Something floral...

Well if you charge cheaper prices you'll have to do twice as many clients, and make twice as much small talk (my least favourite part about my job) So stick with quality people who want quality service and will pay what you're worth. Do little things that others don't that will make you stand...

I've seen people use portable massage tables for this.

Who on earth would do a full set for such a cheap price? That's ridiculous. DO NOT DO THAT. Charge what you're worth.

I love Star Nail (not sure if it's available overseas) or Seche Vite :)

I think if you want someone to stay with your business long-term, you have to offer them what nobody else is offering and of course, show appreciation and thanks - verbally works well, and buying your team a coffee now and then never hurt either :) Otherwise it's just going to be a lot of...

First hand experience in 'wealthier nutters,' even all the way over here in Canada!
