    Thinking of closing my salon

    I'm looking for some advice......I'm thinking of closing my beauty salon. We have been open almost a year which I know is not a long time ìn business but my lease is coming up for renewal and things have been really challenging. January and February have been awful and I feel like I'm at the...

    Open 6 days, 1 customer-help!

    I feel for you as I am in a similar position!! We have been open for a few months and it's been hard, we have some clients but no where near as many as I'd like! But I am just continually advertising to get more people in, flyers have been good for us - on our first batch we put a 10% off any...

    What gave you the push to start your own business?

    I had been in a job I hated where I was paid peanuts and treated like sh*t, I was literally depressed everyday ! I made myself a promise at the start of this year to change things so I quit and set up my own salon - I'm only 3 months in and it's not all been plain sailing but I don't regret it...

    Groupon to advertise?

    I did a deal with Itison, same idea as Groupon! You will probably hear a lot of different views on these kind of sites but for me personally it word well! We are just starting out and it got us a lot if people in and some people have already returned! I think your location is important too, we...

    Heartbreak is the worst

    I so appreciate the kind words. I have been through it before but somehow I've forgotten what's it's like, maybe this time is just worse. I haven't told any of my friends or family yet as it just happened yesterday and I guess I thought that would make it real. All of this alongside the fact...

    Heartbreak is the worst

    It's not normally like me to post something like this, I just feel I have to get it out somewhere! Me and my boyfriend of 3 years split up yesterday and I'm absolutely gutted. I feel as if I just want to hide away, my life is going to be so different now and I don't know how to cope with it...

    Love Moroccan Tan

    Does anyone else love Moroccan Tan as much as I do? I thought I would start this thread so we could share our experiences of it and also share marketing ideas! As it's new in the UK most of my clients haven't heard of it so I want to show them that it's great!!

    Nail courses in Scotland

    I did my manicure course at the Scottish beauty School and then did the Shellac course at the fingertips centre in Glasgow! I must say they were both great! But I would definitely go back to the fingertips centre first for any courses I could do there!

    Billion Dollar vs HD Brows?

    Also it worries me that a company are so unresponsive before I've even trained with them...this is the point when I am trying to give over my money! Having another think about HD brows....

    Billion Dollar vs HD Brows?

    Great thanks, hopefully I can get in touch with them to confirm then! As I am booking my waxing training too but the dates for this are after I'd like to do the brows!

    Billion Dollar vs HD Brows?

    Thanks for the advice! They don't seem the most responsive, I've been trying to get in touch with them about the training!! But then it is more affordable than HD brows! Do you find the products retail well? Also do you already need to have a waxing and tinting qualification before you do it as...

    Billion Dollar vs HD Brows?

    Who uses either of these brands in their salon? Positives/negatives? Client opinions? I'm looking into training courses and can't decide which one to do!!
