    Price increases?

    That is really helpful, thank you, makes sense, we've been doing skin tests on every colour client again so that's allowed us to see everyone first and have a chat with them about what they're having done. I'll definitely take on board your points, were going to sit down this weekend and work...

    Price increases?

    Yeh you're completely right, they're mentally draining too lol

    Price increases?

    Yeh I'm trying to think that, plus the one client that moaned and cancelled takes me ages and I do think that maybe it wasn't cost effective anyway, thanks for all the reassurance, I do feel a bit lonely in hairdressing sometimes so it's good to read on here and get some input from everyone...

    Price increases?

    Thanks for the replies, I know it's natural to loose a few clients when you do a price increase, the thing is it's only our colours that have really gone up, some only by about £4 altogether....I suppose I just can't believe someone cancelling due to it being a couple of pounds extra, even...

    Price increases?

    Hi everyone.....We've increased our prices due to extra costs of ppe etc but also all our appointments are now one to one, so we don't have a client in between colour clients (so profits are way down but we're not charging for that missing client, we've increased prices by about 10%) most of the...

    Where to advertise my chairs/spaces to rent?

    Were also looking for rent a chair stylists, it's so hard to know where to.look, we have had one response from.our gumtree ad, nothing from.facebook yet though.....it's a bit disheartening! We have signed up to nhbf and they do proper contracts for chair renters... That might be something to...

    Former staff member contacting clients

    This happened to us as well, it's a horrible situation, the girl who did it to us had been with us 10 years and she was like part of our family so was a right stab in the back when she poached clients and used data off our computer to contact them, our clients let us knows she was contacting...

    Rudest thing a client has ever said to you?

    I get asked by one client every 5 weeks when she comes in if I'm feeling broody yet and when am I going to have kids....it's such a personal question and it angers me every time she asks and I feel so embarrassed! We're not trying yet or anything but I always think you don't know what people go...

    Highlights problem

    We often do a t section foils as that's all the hair needs sometimes, I would just explain that you wear your hair clipped back a lot and if you could have a few foils around there too, I'm sure they will do that for you :)

    Suitable salon shoes?

    I was going to recommend sketchers too, they really are comfy, I use mine for city trips too that involve a lot of walking...can't fault then, well worth the money! :)

    Rainbow hair

    Thank you, I pre lightened a section underneath the hair and about 2 inches from the hairline, then sections the hair doing diagonal sections in different sizes then used Paul Mitchell ink works, separating with foil so they didn't run, the only colour we didn't have was red but pretty pleased...

    Paul Mitchell violets

    They do take a bit of getting used to but definitely colour balance then pre treat it before colouring it again it will come out a lot more even. If your salon has a poster up with the colour wheel on etc there should be a number to ring, which is their colour helpline and they will help you...

    Paul Mitchell violets

    You might find adding some of the 4vr or 5vr to the end colour will give you a richer colour next time as well? But I would colour balance it first (equal parts dual purpose lightener, 10 Vol and shampoo one) for 5-10 mins before doing the next colour. You could always consider doing the mid...

    How much for chopstick curls?

    Is that just curled? Or washed and dried first? I'm interested as well what everyone charges so we can alter our prices as it does take a while!

    Shall I do my own wedding make up?

    I know you mentioned going into Mac, but bobbi brown do a wedding make up lesson, they were really helpful in there! My sister did my make up on my wedding day as it was abroad so we went to bobbi brown before travelling and had the make up lesson in there and bought a lot of the make up, they...

    Business banking?

    I just applied in the Natwest branch and they will set you up with a business advisor, there probably is a number to ring otherwise of you look online. I know Natwest do 2 years free business banking, I've just started paying now and it's £6 a month (after the 2 years) depending on which tariff...

    Business banking?

    I have a business account, they opened me a current business account and a reserve business account, makes it a lot easier when doing your books as everything business related is going in and out of one account, I pay so much into my reserve account each week for my tax. Natwest do 2 years free...
