Hi All
I'm really in need of some help
I have recently set up in a room in a hairdressers doing waxing, spray tans, nails and lashes, the guys who own the salon are fab and I have known them for about 10yrs.
The problem is, they used to rent the room to another beauty therapist who as the weeks go on, had a bad reputation and several people stating she was not qualified or insured.
The hairdressers and hair bar have been promoting me being there and their regular clients have stated to them how rubbish the last one was ect ect........I could go on forever on the stories, but my question and help that I need is what do i do to get people through the door again? I have sent out so much advertising, leaflet drops, freebies ect but it all just seems to be coming back to the last girls reputation.
The hairdressers have been really good though, and they have themselves heard the comments from their regulars and said that they wont charge me any rent for the room until things do pick up (which is nice).
has anybody had this happen to them, do I just ride it out and wait for word of mouth to get round?
any thoughts would be of great help
