Arr so here we go ... (this is my first post so it may be a little rough round the edges)
Iv done my NVQ level 2&3 in massage, NVQ in media make-up, St Tropez spray tanning course anddd finally my favorite the Bio Sculpting course. But i'm currently practicing lashes with Flirties. I prefer doing the nails, waxing, tinting and the spray tans.
Im currently at a salon at the moment paying 3 days a week rent (Thursday, Friday&Sat) and working for the owner doing waxing ect... on Tuesday and Wednesday. I also work in a pub Sunday, Monday&Tuesday night to keep my money coming in as im only new and trying to build up my clientele. I did a KGB deal, of witch didnt go as i planned as i feel the clients who came were just interested in the cheep offer and would move onto the next KGB deal buttt i did gain at least 8 clients returning for infills. But to top it all off some of the clients said the salon was FREEZING, and were sat in there coats the hole time. Also how the salon looks a bit fuddy duddy (And i agree with them, Iv tried my best the clean it up to make it look cleaner and nicer, but my boss just doesnt look after it. That makes me feel rubbish so then i think to myself why should I clean her salon if she cant be botherd!!)
Anyway so iv been looking for somewhere new, and found a lady whos wanting someone to rent the top room of her salon. The salon is in a quite well to do area and is above a well established hairdressers. Although i have a feeling the rent is going to be a bit more than my current salon, and ill need to buy a few things for the room. At the moment im skint :sad: and im working at the pub to help for the up keep of my car and to buy some products and bio gel. Im going on Saturday to have a look and discuss any quires.
Finallyyyyy, I think what im most worried about is having to pay more rent and starting off fresh. How long did it take you geeks through your first few years to start off? Do you think (if rent isnt to much&the salon is alot nicer) i should just go for the plunge?!
