Hi geeks,
Just want to run a couple of my concerns by you all. Sorry if its a bit long winded getting to the point....
As well as my spray tanning which I tend to work for myself evenings. I also work in a beauty shop that sells cosmetics, fragrance, toiletries and nail polish and nail products.
Anyway my boss here has opened a nail bar today which my colleague and I were supposed to be doing between us but as I only do L&P enhancements, I can't do them in the shop because of fumes. So the shop is mainly doing nail art which I don't do because well I don't particularly like it myself so have never looked at doing it to be fair.
I am being put under pressure to do it but I have so many concerns over insurance, hygiene practices and don't want any part of it really. So here goes my concerns....
1. She 'thinks' we're insured under the shops public liability policy. I think it can't be adaquate to cover a nail bar too, I have not seen policy details and 'thinking' we're covered to be frank isn't good enough for me. I'm insured but only trading under my business name.
2. She bought us towels... just 2 of them... I was taught new client, clean towel. Am I being OTT..
3. Major concern - no practice in place to sterilise tools - not even barbicide..!!
4. Clients coming in today have been very young 13 or 14- no parental permission in place.
5. I can't do nail art - too fiddly but would I even need a qualification in it to be insured. Didn't cover it under manicure at college.
6. No consultation cards. I always use them.
My colleague is lovely but young and doesn't care if we're insured or not. She has a little nail table to do her nail art which she is excellent at. Observed today no sanitising or even cleaning down table at end of day.
I'm not being a bit picky am I? I studied as a mature student and I invested a lot of money in myself, not to just ignore everything was taught.
Again apologies for the essay but I would be grateful for your advice as I get the feeling my job will be at stake. :sad:
