Hi,
I wonder if I could ask for some advice. Here's my story:
I recently qualified as a level 2 beauty therapist and rented a room straight away. The salon is great, the girls are lovely and after a shaky couple of months I am building up a good little business.
My problem is that I share the room with an ex-student/fellow therapist. We decided to share as she works full time and couldn't risk earning nothing whilst the business builds up. I guess this is where my story really begins:
I do the days and she does 2 evenings and a Saturday. In the first instance we shared stock, a week in it was clear this wouldn't work. My tweezers were left filthy and a couple of things were broken. So we now used our own and shared consumables/disposables, big mistake number 2! She used everything and expected me to replace it.
I now take everything home with me the days she's in as I am a neat freak and need everything to hand where I know where it is.
The beauty bed is mine that I use for mobile as well yet she hasn't got round to buying one, I do all the advertising/thinking if new ideas to bring customers in but she will pay half if it costs.
The salon owners aren't happy as she will hang around them all day when they are busy and apparently comes across like my sidekick ie I'm the boss and she's my employee. This is all because of the work she doesn't put in.
I'm frustrated as my days are now really busy, I have undertaken a couple of extra courses to compliment what I do. I don't take profit home as it goes straight back into the expensive courses/stock etc
It doesn't feel like she wants to be there. I asked her if she was happy with the way the business is going, she says yes but to be fair she isn't making any money, any effort. She very rarely has bookings and if she doesn't she won't come in.
It seems she is enjoying having her hair, nails done weekly and having a chat. I scrub the room every week top to bottom yet I had to coax her last week to Hoover up.
Help! I want her gone, the salon owners want her gone but she is my friend albeit a lazy one! Do I giver her another chance? I am at a complete loss right now
