Hi geeks,
I need some advice, straight talking or just a virtual hug lol... We have just moved house, a new area, hubby is in the army and he is going away A LOT here and off to Afghan AGAIN next year ' damn him being so good at his job (fixes computers) and always in demand. We have 2 little girls who are our world, 4 and 2.
I am struggling to do my job/passion as I have no available time. I don't get them to sleep till 8.30/9 at night so can't do them then. Weekends, I am on my own with the girls so no time to do nails then. I only have Wed and Thurs mornings when the girls are at nursery... I can not do them with my girls here as I don't think it is professional nor fair on them. My family are 3 hours away and I have made a few friends here already but they have jobs and families too so can't expect them to babysit for me. Plus my kids will not be babysat by anyone they don't know and trust (fair enough as I would not a stranger sitting them)
I trained in gel polish's in June so I have not been in this industry long but I adore it, have added kooky wraps to my menu too but gelish is by far the more popular and all my clients have been happy bunnys which is ace.
I just wanted a little winge as I pride myself on doing a good job, having the best products and I am not getting the time to do the nails. Hubby winges when I buy products (That I need!!!) as I only have done a few clients since moving house (although I have only been here 3 weeks so that is not all bad!!)
I want to get my name out there and advertise etc but feel like I am barely giving them any options for appts so I am stalling advertising. I am lucky to have already got a regular and she doesn't work so my times suit her so at least I have one reg client
I know I can't expect to be a fully fledged professional with a mega client base etc but I want to get going...
Just looking for some support I guess, this forum has helped me no end. Hubby just tells me I will get there, bless him.
