Could someone that is a salon owner and VAT registered check my logic here...? Say my turnover is £80,000 Vat off that is £16,000 Leaving a total of £64,000 Less outgoings of £30,000 leaving £34,000 Less tax (is it 20%?) = £27,200 So my net profit / money in my pocket is...

If I am paying my therapist £15,000 (example only!) Is that the actual amount I need to budget in my business plan? Do all costs (NI & Tax) come out of that £15,000? Do I need to account for any additional costs with regards to wages? Many thanks!!

Hi there all, I am soon going to advertise for staff for my new beauty salon and would like my staff to be happy, as happy staff stay longer and I believe a high turnover of staff to be the worst flaw in any business. These are the sort of things I'm considering...

Just watched this on Pixiwoo (love them), it's the first time I've ever seen HD brows 'in action' and I'd be interested to know if this is an accurate example - I was thoroughly underwhelmed as it really doesn't seem different to the brow restyle (tint,wax, tweeze) that I already offer...

Do any of you stock BOTH St Tropez and Nouvatan? If so, which do you prefer for what? I.e. Is one better for clients who want it really dark and one better for really pale pasty ones who just want a golden glow? I find a lot of tans go orange on the really mega pale skins so I'm now debating...

I use Euroblond for all my hot waxing needs (Brazilian, lip, brows, underarms, etc) but is there any benefit in stocking more than one of the range? Are there advantages to the various types? I'd love to go on the discovery day but can't get there. What are the pros and cons of say...

How can I prevent overspray on feet? I moisturise them but as I am mobile and don't use a suction fan in my tent like in a salon the tan naturally falls on to the feet... :irked:

Just popping in from the beauty forum with a personal question!! I'm ordering myself some nails files from beauty express as part of my professional order but have no idea about grits! Which is coarser the higher number, like 240 or the lower number like 80? I have natural nails...

Hi all, I use PR hot wax but am looking for a warm wax that is not as expensive as PR. I'm not sure there's a whole lot of difference in quality with warm waxes, not like in hot wax where the difference between a PR and an own brand is massive. Can anyone recommend a warm wax from Beauty...

I'm hoping to employ someone in a salon I'm thinking of opening, can you give me any pointers on where best to advertise and also roughly what I should be offering as a starting salary? I'm clueless as have only been self employed so have no experience of salaries as such! xx

Hi All, I'd like to buy the callus peel kit from Beauty select for myself (I don't offer pedi's) to prep myself for summer. I run my own beauty salon so can buy direct at trade but as it's just for me I'm wondering if I need the starter kit or will the the skin softening sachets be enough if...

Any ideas on how to lessen the orange glow of overspray on the feet? The tan was done 24 hours ago... Tango... :o

Hello, just popped over from Skin Geek to ask which is gentler to the natural nail - bio sculpture or Shellac? Also, which would be better for a 'one off' occasion - ie I'm not going to keep it up. Many thanks!!

Spraying a red headed celt tomorrow - what perectage solution would you suggest for Sienna X? Will 10% be too strong - she says she just wants a glow... :eek:

Having looked through the tan photo thread, the nouvatan looks really good! Do any of you lovely tanners work mobile in the Surrey area?

I have a client whose daughter is a ballerina with very dark hair - she's from Argentina. Would you wax her legs, underarms and basic bikini? Or is that too young?

Can anyone recommend somewhere in or nearish to Virginia Water in Surrey that does good Hollywood Hot waxing and that DO NOT DOUBLE DIP! I'm so fed up of hearing blurb about hygiene standards only to find myself legs spread with a non too hygienic therapist. It drives me CRAZY :grr: I'm...

Can anyone recommend a good pair of scissors for trimming eyebrows? I don't want to whip out a massive pair and freak the poor client out!! :wink2:
