HIya, I had a nose about, but couldn't find where I was meant to post a job post? Do we have a forum here? Or is it frowned upon?

What percentage of your incoming goes to rent, and what goes to staff etc? I'm trying to find if there is a standard percentage or aim?

Anyone used the new carmilane shades yet? Any different to the regular majirouge?

If you had a customer who you'd just rather not return.......how would you word it when they try and book? Any ideas??

I have advertised here at salongeek a few times, but with no luck. Where else have people tried? Is gumtree worth the 30 quid?

We specialise in retro, vintage and alternative cutting and colouring (for ladies and gents) but we do 'regular' hair too! We're pretty evenly split between ladies and gents, and we are a small salon with a big personality. If you're an awesome hair dresser looking for a place to get...

Any tried and tested ways of improving the lighting in a salon? We have tried a lamp but it just creates more shadows. I'm not at the stage of redoing all of the main lights to put in strip lighting....have any of you found any successful interim solutions?

I'm not talking about the bright bright reds, which we're happy with, but we're looking to replace our use of L'Oreal 6.60 and 6.66....we're just not super happy with their end result. Does anyone have any recommendations for alternatives to look at? What reds do you use? Thanks!

Our Blondie Rae came today, and we can't wait to test it on our hair! Anyone else still happily using it?

Hiya, Just wanted some advice about a customer we have. She has very damaged bleached hair, and had been an almost white blonde for a while. We refused to do more bleach (to make all over white blonde) and she wants to go brown. Obviously the hair is now too porous.....and we're fighting a...

Where do you find your staff? Or where do you look for jobs?

I bought backwashes from a company, they arrived smashed. After they were eventually picked up, I still dont have a refund. I am now threatening legal action. Not what I want to be doing at all! The guys seemed nice enough, and they know I am setting up a new salon, and I just don't have time...

I am looking to rent out a station to someone who think they may fit in with a vintage/rock n roll hair salon in East London. We have men and women clients, and I'm open to discussion about what could be offered. You could hire the space for 1-5 days a week. There is no separate room, so...

I was just wondering whether anyone had any input on rough guides on chair prices for a London salon....?

Usually I am pretty good at this stuff, but this is confuses me, and I couldn't get through to the HMRC to ask. '' If you get cash tips direct from the customer without involving the employer, you'll have to pay tax on them - but not National Insurance contributions. You are responsible for...

I am opening a new salon (currently at the painting stage) and had chosen my shampoo/conditioner ranges after going to a pro hair show. However, I have since been very disappointed with their customer service, so am now going to look again at who I am choosing. Basically just starting a...
