Hi all. I have used the site for a while but this is my first post so please bear with me.
I retrained in beauty about 18 months ago (previuosly worked in a completly different background) I saved up to pay for my course included LCN Gel, Gel Polish, Lash Extensions, HD Brows, LVL Lashes and Nouvatan Spray Tans.
As you can imagine from the brands I've spent a fair amount on training costs, products, equipment (as I'm currently mobile) and marketing i.e. website, leaflets, cards etc.
I feel I have put a great amount of effort, time and money into this and feel it has all gone to waste.
I have quite a low rate of return clients and as a result have realy lost confidence in myself. Plus the added pressure of having invested a lot of time and money is getting to me as i still feel inexperienced and unsuccessful.
I should also add I've recently been offered 2 therapy rooms in a busy hair salon for a few days a week but feel my confidence is too low to undertake this despite initially being very excited to do this.
Should i cut my losses and return to my previous industry before forking out even more money for extra equipment and products for the salon or should I take the leap and hope my skills and confidence increase with more time. Im really sorry for the rant I'm just feeling really lost and don't have anyone in the industry who can advise.
Thanks in advance
