I’ve experienced this - I also only work Friday and Saturday since having my youngest so I’m not in the salon to be catching clients coming in or phoning to book - one thing that works great for me is having my own business page on Facebook/instagram and advertising myself - and now the majority...

I never go down the aisles that have hair products in supermarkets etc so I really have no clue what is out there but whenever clients ask I always recommend professional products - I change up my shampoo and what I personally use at home often, always from professional ranges so I think it’s...

I use iZettle and absolutely love it £29 for the reader, 1.75% transaction fee - contactless and chip and pin - great battery life I’ve had mine since November and never had to charge it I just keep it turned off inbetween uses [emoji23]
