salon beauty

hi geeks, im looking for advise!
ive taken over a beauty salon 4 weeks ago of which i previously worked in, as the old owner didnt want it anymore.
I almost didnt get to do this, because of my financial situation, but the previous owner stepped in and helped me with first months deposit of salon and sold me everything in the salon but i pay her back monthly.
so we got a contract drawn up for repayment, saving her having to sell stock ect and knock down walls ect to the shops original state before she leased it.
her 17 year old daughter was working there before on reception and ive kept her on, shes qualified in waxing and eyelash extentensions.
this is where my dilema begins..
its been four weeks now and things arnt working out..
her appearance isnt great to say the least, she puts things that she can do in my column and when i ask her why she didnt do it she says because 'she not very good at it' and she can do an eyebrow wax but not a reshape?? and they might not rebook because shes '****e' !!
also she refuses to do male clients and says i cant force her to? which i obviously cant and wouldnt, but she cant pick and choose clients!!
if someone walks in with bushy brows she trys to get out of it also!!
i have male cients in the salon and didnt even think this would be an issue until now..
i havent drawn up a contract yet, and as her mum helped me out and i wouldnt even have the salon if it wasnt for her mum i feel reallllly bad, but i dont want keep her in the salon anymore.
she also undermines me at times and constantly refers to when 'her mum' had the salon ect and it just doesnt feel like its mine whilst shes there..
if it wasnt for her mum she wouldnt be..
i want to let her go but dont know where i stand legally and if i should call her mum to explain this before i let her go OR let her go and call her after to explain why i did so??? i do feel i would have to speak to her mum as i dont want any bad feelings... and can i even legally let her go??? is it unfair dissmisal???
i have big plans for the beauty salon and she just not the right candidate.. i would realllly appreciate ur advise!!! xxx
