hi.. today i feel like jacking it all in... i have had 26 customers since begining of august. (not including nail art parties where i have done a total of 27 sets mini manicures/nail art ) now.. out of thee customers only one of these customers had enhancements (fabric #) the rest are mani's pedi's man mani's and nail art.... which is fine but i have advertised everywhere.. back of my four wheel drive tyre cover/shops/ etc etc., ive been putting off getting a salon as want to be able to collect chanel from school until she goes up to secondry school (another year and half) - cant help my maternal feelings but also want a career in nails... was offered a room in a salon (beauty) to rent on a occassional basis (havent looked into it too much as she offers manis/pedis enhancements so figure she would only allow me to nail art - then when people cant make the day/s im at hers they then can come to me - ive stolen her clients dont want to go that road...
Now just heard last night nail bar opening in town... aggh ! oki i know any comp will be good etc etc., but how can i compete im struggling to get customers through my village home based salon as it is... now people will be able to just SEE she's there..etc etc., im lcn gel trained (doesnt amount to much though) creative fabric one to one trained manicure etc - alessandro salon based trained.. all doesnt amount to much whenshe is probably brilliant (im still struggling with my enhancements) brilliantly trained and im going to be left feeling like the sub standard salon.. cant afford to do the L & P at creative this year as need to start breaking even (gotta stop buying new nail stuff) going to register for nvq though asap.. but i could scream with frustration.... dont know how or if you can or want to help but feel better now ranted (and screamed.. lol)
