I'm dubious about booking people in until more information is given nearer the time - I don't want the hassle (for myself and clients) of having to rebook them if it all changes between now and then. Also, although going back to the "tier system" has been mentioned, it's unclear how industries...

Hi Lynda, Just in case it helps, I have had a similar experience this year. I decided to close my 11 year old salon during the first lockdown (kind of assuming this would happen again) and decided to work from home. I basically spent every day of lockdown deliberating what I should do. And...

I'm guessing there's no guidelines yet but I'm assuming all salons will need to close, home based or otherwise?

It sounds like this is where we'll be heading soon in England. How will our businesses cope though this?! 😔

I closed my 11 year old salon this year due to covid and I am now working from home and offering mobile treatments. And I am so glad I did. I don't know how I would be coping if I was tied to a rental contract (along with everything else) right now. And as @Trinity mentioned, my overheads are...

I have the Lolabelle bag since going mobile this year and I love it. Plenty of space to carry absolutely everything I need. Side note - I've definitely built up some arm muscles since carrying the thing up and down stairs 😁

I feel the exact same way. I've always been loyal to CND but I'm thinking about training with someone else now 😕

I second this - I love my Roo trolley and the polish storage squares are great!

Following! I'm @tasha.does.nails

Nope! :rolleyes:

Hi! I'm not sure I can help much because I guess it comes down to everyone's personal preference but I have used CND Shellac in my salon for the last 8ish years and I'm starting to get dissatisfied with it, I'm not in love with the colours anymore and as you said, I sometimes find it's not...

Hi Steph, I'm in the same boat at the moment (minus being pregnant!) and have spent lockdown worrying about how my salon will reopen. I won't go over it again as I've posted all about it on another thread on this business section. I decided after the May lockdown review that if we weren't...

I feel bad for saying this, but I don't want to wear visors and masks etc to do my work. I would rather not do the job I love at all than doing it wearing full PPE. Selfishly, it's partly because I won't feel comfortable carrying out treatments and partly as said before, I think it does add to...

I wonder when it will next be reviewed and how much notice we will get? I've had a couple of messages from clients asking if I've heard the good news this afternoon? I've replied that it's great hairdressers can reopen but that isn't the same advice for my work. Either they've not been paying...

I'm currently watching the announcement and I'm not sure... hairdressers to open but spas are not to. So where do we fall? A quick look at all the online news outlets and they're all saying different re beauty salons/nail bars. So, no one knows for certain methinks!

I feel like today is going to be a tough day. I woke up to two messages from clients asking to book for the week of the 4th July, as if it's already confirmed. Watching the news this morning, it feels like the media is putting a lot of pressure on Boris to announce that our industry will reopen...

Absolutely this. I've been having the exact same dilemma whether to keep my salon open or convert my spare room to a treatment room and just pick and choose who and what I do. Staff has been a big thing on my mind - all it takes is for one member of staff to develop a cough and then they will be...

Hi all, I'm in the same situation but the other way around - I own a small salon but am unsure whether to reopen or whether to convert the spare bedroom in my house to a treatment room and work from home instead. I'm weighing up the pros and cons and getting so much mixed advice from friends...
