Hi Y'all
Thought it might be interesting to start a topic [sure it's been done before] on thoughts about the differences between the home salon and those in the High Street with a shop window.
Another love I have [apart from nails] is in Psychology [graduated in 2000 with Open University] and hence, I am interested in the psychological issues regarding the decisions people make about their working environment.
I am a pure home bird - love to be in my home - however, that isn't really healthy in some ways because it can be quite isolative. I want to have customers but I have no shop front and therefore, advertising is probably more important. I am effectively inviting strangers into my home and so I have to consider security. Whilst for me, it's really nice to think that I don't have to travel to work, I think the social aspect of daily life is so important - I miss out on the 'works Christmas do' etc etc but then again, I am only responsible to myself and do not have to consider other members of staff. I like the fact that I don't have to please anyone other than myself but I think that's selfish in a way - team work is so satisfying if you are working in a nice atmosphere but it must be horrible when you have the workmate from hell!!
So many issues - I'd be really interested in other people's thoughts on the working environment.
Look forward to hearing other people's views on this.
All the best
Carol
