    Hot wax technique help thread

    I always tell clients how i want them and more often than not will make a joke of it being the 'from behind position' or 'the doggy position' and say its not dignified but its the best for getting all the hairs out and then say theres a towel here if you want to cover yourself up you can do if...

    Shellac vs "Not" Shellac - mini rant

    Its an absolute joke. Some clients think you are lying when you talk about how great shellac is due to other people cutting corners or out right lying. Some 'professionals' are destroying a delicious product/brand. Some non shellac shellac ha off the top of my head... I had a client have a...

I did receive a lovely reply and full explanation though as to...

    Refund advice

    If It was your fault Why shouldnt they be entitled to a full refund? They arent trying to 'do you out of money' or 'pull a fast one'. Id be offering them a full cash refund AND a voucher for 10% off a future treatment with a disgustingly ass sucking apology. If youre down financially then thats...

    I did this as an opening offer and I wasn't fully booked! I texted all mobile clients from client record cards, posted on fb, updated website, gossipd to people, free listing sites etc and had 10,000 leaflets done (only had 2 clients bring leaflets back, though i can't be certain all 10,000 were...

    Rent and commission?

    Get a set rent (written down in a proper signed contract because you know, your business is worth far more than just a 'well we agreeed to... And i thought i could trust him/her') and then work your ass off so that YOU benefit from all your hard work :D You know what needs paying and when, no...

    Question about backwash connections

    Hello, at the risk of sounding really stupid can somebody answer a question for me about back washes please? When you buy an all in 1 backwash unit(as in the chair and sink connected) if you have a sink already in your salon/room is it just a case of removing the sink and connecting the...

    What did you do whilst training?

    Level 2 covers all the basics doesnt it? So why not just go mobile? I imagine youve got most of the equipment needed so all youd need to buy is insurance, a treatment bed and a manicure table etc. you can always set your prices lower while you are gaining experience to encourage morpeople to try...

    Really cheap lash extensions

    Maybe its a special offer to generate some interest in lashes? Maybe its an opening offer? Maybe its an introductory offer as theyve only recently trained in the treatment? Maybe they buy their products in bulk direct from the manufacturer so pass the saving to the client? X

    NVQ, please do something about short courses!

    This arguement goes on and on and on. I dont think its a case of if they are that good at this they dont need to do that blah blah blah. I think its more a case of giving clients what they want and earning yourself more money. We all want convenience. We all like everything under 1 roof...

    I want to rent out my second treatment room, but how?

    Wow that is confusing! Haha. Surely what you are looking for is a reliable employee? Emphasis on reliable. You set the rules, work hours and prices, choose the products and dictate how the products are used. If you are dead set on the renter using your chosen brands then id just do a...

    NSS salons: are they affecting your business?

    I dont worry as in i have no clients worry, i worry that people are crazy enough to want something doing super quick and to last forever that they are willing to risk their health for it? :s that worries me. Ive had clients say to me the nails at such and such a place are great, they just dont...
