Others in the salon think I'm super mean as my mum pays full price for everything with me! :/ she's the best mum, and I try and obvs be the best daughter but she doesn't bing in recommendations and clients as I don't live close to her anymore...in fact if I'm having a slow month ill get her in to keep me busy and for a catch up!
But I do have my best friend, who again lives closer to my mum than the salon... And works nearer London than to me....and she has insisted I do her nails for her up and coming holiday :/
I've got her to model for me back in the day, and once did a tan on her for her birthday. But at the weekend I had to refuse to do her smokey eyes for her on a night out, as it was my birthday night out, I wasn't ready, I had worked all day 9-6 and my boyfriend was making dinner for 5 and I just didn't have time....I'd normally do her eyes for a night out but as I said I didn't want to and she doesn't offer to buy me a drink each time I do them!
Her nails are going to be about £35, I'm going to get the other nail girl to do them. My friend is very careful with her money but I'm chickening out of the confrontation/awarkwardness where I think she wants me to do them for ' mates rates'
I've also just stopped student discount as students ( ESP uni students) have grants and loans and lots of disposable income. When I was 16-19 I used to have a wardrobe to die for, student discount makes no sense to me..
