Hi I think that if you explained your situation to your clients that they would surely understand. You can’t magic rent money etc from thin air. You will always get the odd person who moans but that’s life, for that moaning client there will be many who understand & who will come to your house...

I was at a salon last week getting my hair done and she told me they are quiet. Says Saturdays which were usually so busy and now quiet. Nobody went to the beauty room either when I was in there for 3 hours. I only got my hair done as it hasn’t been done in 9 months. I usually spent money in a...

Hi I am sure there is a salon in Montrose and she does courses from her salon in nails, I can’t remember the name of the shop but have a google and sure you will find it x

I personally wouldn’t go to a therapists house and sit in the living room. I would go to a cabin in the garden though. I have been to 2 houses in the past for treatments, I didn’t like going through the house as it felt like their own private space. What about renting a room in a hairdressers or...

Hello Yes I do 😀

Hi I have several bottles of CND Shellac for sale, bought initially from Ellisons. Only been used to put on a pop stick so apart from that, they are pretty much brand new. Please get in touch if you are interested :) 🤩

I was absolutely furious as you can imagine and told them not to come back. You can’t go into a super market and fill a basket then at the checkout say “I can’t pay you” so why do people feel it’s ok to do that in a beauty salon. We are often individuals working to pay the rent then see what’s...

This is why I left the beauty industry. Clients are certainly not friends. They don’t turn up to appointments or cancel last minute. We listen to all of their problems which is exhausting. I even had clients who got their treatment then when it was time to pay they said they didn’t have any...

I used Eve Taylor, they have several start up kits that you can buy for your salon. my clients loved it. I think the package I bought was around £250 and that was the second dearest. They send free samples too so try it ok you before you buy :)

Hi Steph do you have a copy of your contract? Check what it says about how long your lease is for ;) maybe get advice from a solicitor as due to Covid it’s a different world we will be living in. Sure others on here can offer some great advice. X

Yes definitely as it will be more peaceful. if the staff still want to stay then they could take on the lease themselves. Think about yourself and your family first

Hi I closed a salon last year as it was making me miserable. I dreaded going into my shop. Beauty wasn’t for me anymore. I think your garden idea is great. Cabin? I would say do what’s right for you, I stressed over telling clients and what they would think as I was closing down for good. I...

The only nail product I have found to stay on clients nails is shellac :)

I have got the one with the detachable base, it’s great. So easy when doing the feet ;)

Sounds like she is at it. She was happy when it was done. I wouldn’t entertain her anymore. She will soon get fed up and hopefully stop contacting you. Some clients are sent to try us for some reason, don’t let it get you down xx

When I opened my salon I got flyers done with 20% off and people loved it. It got lots of clients through the door. Also advertise that on your Facebook page

Hi I agree with the first response on your post, it is no longer for “professionals” only. I am a beauty therapist but buy my Elemis from a reputable site online for my own personal use, I find the products to be lovely & work for my skin type. I use to do facials on clients by eve taylor and...

Hi. I worked mobile for a time. It wasn’t for me unfortunately. I would say to make sure that you are on time for clients and to make sure they are actually in. I had some issues with people coming home late from work so I was sitting around which was unfair for me. Have Instagram and a Facebook...

I use shellac, it’s brilliant. Also tried candy coat before and didn’t like it at all, it’s not a professional brand x
