Hiya, would like your geeks advice:
I Have been asked to do nails at a Pamper Evening Event at a primary school which is for charity.
Only thing is they want me to come for the whole evening and do nail treatments for nothing. ALL proceeds go to charity - which means I will have to pay my product costs, wages or anything else.
Is this normal? I've done charity stuff before and it's entailed donating a a treatment voucher as a prize in a raffle or giving a percentage of my takings to charity... so wasn't sure if this was a bit out of the norm?
I don't want to be uncharitable so am considering doing it... but I'm not sure if I can really afford to do this? Evenings and weekends are the only time I run my beauty business at present....
She said it would be an opportunity to get new customers so this is to my benefit?
Arrgggh, dilemma?! What do you geeks think?
