No. Firstly, over here in Australia it's not entirely lawful to do so. Secondly, in the past I've had to cancel on the day of appointments due to unforeseen circumstances. So I figure that something like this goes both ways. Of course, if the client is problematic in that they do it more than...

*clasps hands and laughs* Oh nothing's changed at Salon Geek. HAHA! Still the same ol' "I know better than you because I've been around a lot longer" mantra. :green: Keri, I'm lovin' your style, girl. And I can appreciate what you're saying. I can also appreciate what Geeg is saying. I just...

This company makes some pretty outrageous and unsubstantiated claims. There's a very good reason why this product is not sold in England (or Australia). Personally, I would avoid it.

When I recently took a weekend off to go to Sydney for an expo, I employed a virtual assistant to field calls and remind people I was closed. Worked like a dream and ended up taking more bookings which I kinda didn't expect. I now hire a VA two days a week and the outlay is worth it. Taking on...

Excellent. As it should be. Marvellous news. Well done.

I use CND's Master Series ProStyler #8. Yes, I know it's a bit dated but the thing won't die. Which is one of the reasons why I like it. Another reason is that it picks up beautifully and maintains the ratio allowing perfect product placement (:eek: don't say those last three words quickly!)...

Attitude, a second amen to that but you'll find that the philosophy doesn't always work in here :D Whether it's my job or not is immaterial. I want their cash and their continued custom so it's part of the service I offer. I simply incorporate polish removal into the price as I do with...

I have comprehensive insurance which covers structure, infrastructure, loss of earnings, theft, disaster etc and a back up venue should I be left without a premises. The latter is not necessary as my policy covers this but it is something I arranged as a peace-of-mind thing for me in that if...

I spotted a thread asking for gloves for sugaring and a question occurred to me. The sugaring ritual was my first exposure to hair removal given that it was the done thing in the neighbourhood in which I grew up. The paste was made at home, rolled by hand, smeared on the body part and deftly...

Define normal :D Society is changing all the time as are cultural attitudes. A lot of my clientele will take their nix off for a brazilian but leave them on for a bikini. Others don't care. Some clients I find who'll still want the disposable knickers and I have these on hand in case. In my...

I never do my own tax returns. If I did, I'd end up bankrupt *LOL* A chartered accountant always does it and always finds things that I've missed. And the money I pay him to do this is a tax deduction as it's a business expense.

If you do this, you may hamper your chances at becoming gainfully employed as this will read that you are not adequately 'healthy' or 'able bodied' for the position. Yes, I know there are anti-discrimination laws in place etc but the reality is that if an employer suspects that you are not at...

:eek: Bloody hell. This is the worst post I've read in SG. Are you alright? How did it happen, do you know yet? Lordy, I hope you were insured. Please keep us posted. Sending you waves of strength...

It's a good idea and one I've seen work really well both here and in the States. Here in Queensland there are two male specific salons that are doing a roaring trade. One even imported an English barber who specialises in cut throat razor shaving (UK is seen as the be-all for barbering here)...

It depends on your vision. I use two ranges - one is high end, the other low but both encompass the treatments I perform in their entirety. One of the ranges has a makeup section so I manage to incorporate the two quite nicely. But a series of ranges can confuse the client. For example, a salon...

I agree. And it's okay to work in stages. Remove a bit, show the client, remove a bit more and voila, an end result they're happy with. You'll also get clients coming in who want a lot off or their brows done in a way that you know just won't suit them. For example, I've had women who want what...

I found out that the bag is the very same as QANTAS cabin bag with inserts sewn in. So I might as well make my own. Thanks for the idea!

The CND trolley bag and the suitcase are two very different items. What Rocky has posted is known as the suitcase here. The trolley bag that is sold here is smaller and boxier and not at all the same. I've not seen the latter yet but have used the former and it's not at all practical for what...

At first glance, a clean site that is easy navigate (and your prices are good). My comments are thus: - A full body wax without a brazilian is not a full body wax. You can say "excluding" all you like but that's akin to telling people you do facials without the decolletage. A full body wax, by...

You're winding me up. Good for you. You asked a question. I answered it. It didn't sit well with you. And you said as much. I replied with further clarification to my original post. And now you're attempting to manipulate the situation. I've given my opinion based on my experience (and...
