Phorest Phorest Phorest!!! They are more expensive than others but it is SO worth it!! Best money I ever spent in my salon. The system is geared towards retention marketing, brilliant SMS and e-mail system for marketing, fantastic loyalty program for clients, sends e-mail after client visits...

I own and run my own business, I worked 70 hours a week for a year to get it up and running. Believe you me you won't ever get others to work as hard you need. If you can't actually do clients and you can't plough everything you have in to that business you are going to need deep pockets to keep...

I would never want to deter people for using credit cards. Yeah sure I have to pay extra on my terminal but that is far outweighed by the extra custom. Some people don't have the cash to afford to have hair and beauty done so they stick it on the credit card. They come more frequently because...

Oh my word I need help before my head explodes. I received a small loan from my Father when I started my business and I have no idea where to fill this amount in on my Self Assessment. Or do I even need to? So confused. Thanks Geeks x

Anything negative like that should never really be posted on Facebook. Facebook is a place for clients to interact with your business not to reprimanded. I would be really put off if I read such thing on a business page that I used. Not trying to be harsh, just my opinion. I think deposits for...

To be fair all Capital courses are kind of for beginners. If you can already do a variety of plaits then of course you are going to be sat around not gaining anything. If you are already very confident at hair up then don't book yourself on such a course. As for the vintage and retro course I...

I have done the vintage an retro styling and I absolutely loved it. I did it in Southampton. All the Capital Courses and carried out by different training providers so they can vary. But I was really impressed with the vintage styling course. I felt I got a lot from it. Lots of the girls on the...

If you want a really fast smooth blowdry then you need the Babyliss Pro Voltare (I think that's what it is) I have had mine a year and it is the BEST hairdryer I have ever owned. It has a Ferari motor in it and has some serious power. It blows the air in such a sharp direction, no blowing the...

This is the exact place I bought mine from on EBay. http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/130990047800?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1 They do a size 6. I am tiny and the one I have is a size 6 and it fits lovely. You can have it embroidered for free, just send them what words you want. I had exact the same problem with...

I looked at the salon master but in the end realised I actually had gas into my salon so went with a full on boiler heating system. But I would defo say the salon master is worth the investment. I looked at another salon to buy before my one and that had a salon master. The owner was raving...

I will definitely get her into the salon so that I can have a look but she is saying they were lovely to start with and everybody said so but now they are falling out and she is scared to brush it or straighten it in case more come out. The photo she sent me looks like the whole piece of her...

I have been doing hair extensions for two years and have never come across this problem. I fitted a set of Keratin bonds about 2 months ago and now the lady has sent me an e-mail saying the extensions are falling out but it looks like from the photos that her own hair is coming out with them. I...

I don't think different price brackets in the hair industry even works that well to be honest. As said above years of experience doesn't always mean you're better. All stylists/therapists should be delivering second to none service and if they arn't they should not be in the salon. Not just made...

I'm pretty sure you can't use 40 vol majiblonde on the scalp. It might not physically state you can't use it but I'm pretty sure it's not listed as an option. Going to have a little read when I get to work, I'm intrigued now. I've always thought you can't and so I never have.

I agree with Persianista. You have to apply total confidence to everything you do, hairdressing is very personal and clients will immediately pick up on nervousness. Once they get any vibe that you are a little unsure of yourself they don't hold back. You may feel rubbish about this now but it...

Thank You so much. That has cleared that up for me. I'm usually pretty good at getting my head round these things but that just completely stumped me. Thank You :)

Part time is 23 hours and full time is 40 hours

Help! Im so confused. If I take on someone part time and I want to do a comission structure of 10% upto a certain threshold and then 20% thereafter how do I work out the threshold for a part time worker. If it was full time I would do it at £800, does it have to be half that for part time...
