Hi everyone really needing some help please. Apologies for the long question always best to give all info.
I have recently just started up my business working from home offering limited treatments based on what I already know ... And advertising what I will be adding to my list of services as I continue to complete courses.
My timing still isnt great due to being newly qualified so I cannot book to many clients, and I always make my clients aware and remind them I am new .
I had some money saved and have spent it sensibly on things that I need initially such as printing/paper costs for aftercare leaflets etc, cleaning items and sterilising items consumables, lots of new towels, products etc.
Recently I have had people asking for Minx,Trendy Wraps,Shellac and Gel polish but im confused whats best to go with. Also the price. I looked at fingertips and they currently offer Shellac and Minx training which I would need to have anyway to able to offer the service so there is training cost, then product cost. As I am a small business im not sure what colours/designs clients would like so I dont waste money. Also with Minx I would need to buy limited designs as I couldnt afford a massive selection initially, however what if my clients do not want any of the designs ive purchased? Trendy wraps are cheaper but Im assuming this means cheaper quality and gel polish I love the Gelish colours but again at £20ish a bottle I would need to start why limited colours and not sure if I would be better with Shellac or gel polish or both. Any money I am making just now is straight back out on business costs. Any advice??
