Hi Guys,
Im looking for some professional advice here and I have found salon geek so successful before hand!! To cut a long story short I have a salon in a gym. When we moved there we took over another salon and we basically hire quite a large portion of the gym. There is another room upstairs which is rented by another therapist who does more the machine based stuff/clinical - she offers microdermabrasion, teeth whitening, IPL hair removal and microcurrent face lift. She was there before we got there and were told we could not do anything she did and vice versa. We took over everything the other salon did and I suppose you would classify that as bog standard beauty treatments and we also specialise in organic skin care - we do waxes, tints, nails, facials, massages and holistic therapies. Recently we found out she was offering tints and nails to her clients and she was also going to offer hopi ear candles which we put a stop to this immediately as it infringes on our type of therapies!!!! She begged if she could do the nails but to be honest we are not willing to give a part of our business away for free!!! It has opened a can of worms and she is now saying that my facials - one of which is a 20% glycolic acid peel - natural fruit acids found in the organic range - is potentially a conflict of interest for her microdermabrasions!! As far as we are concerned we are sticking to the bog standard beauty treatments that we came to do - no machines or anything!! It is quite a tricky volatile situation and have left it in the management hands at present but I am just looking for advice really to see what people think. Do you think potentially the 20% peels are a conflict of interest or could you say that about any facial?? (I suppose you could say waxing and laser hair removal are in competition!!!!!) Anyway let me know your thoughts???? Thanks so much in advance xx
