Mani & Pedi 'at work' treatments

[Lyndy]

Hi All
Just wanted to ask a question. Came back into work today to find out that we are having our wages docked by 20% , and will be a 4 day working week. I work for a firm that supplies construction material so its been hit hard with the recession, so rather than redundancy this is the alternative. Anyway , I have a NVQ level 3 nail technician Qualification and need to really start to put it to some use after some more practice on the old faithfull nail trainer, and now that I will have one day a week to kill.
So my question was do you think it is worth me writing to some local companies to ask if they would allow me to come in to them on the day I am off and do manicure and pedicure , has any one got any experience of this? Also thinking this could lead me on to more clients for acrylic etc.

Thanks for reading

How could it harm to try? They do these 'at work' treatments in many places in the States and it is catching on in the UK so give it a go. I would.

Also CND Shellac would be perfect for this kind of thing too. Toes dry immediately with no waiting and nails as well. I'd look into it.

I would have thought by lvl 3 you would feel ready to work on clients honey ,
Couldn't you start advertisin?
My bad lol I didnt read it properly lol
sounds like a good idea but im not sure how well it would work un less the enployees wanted to give up there lunch breakes witch would mean your might have an houyer gap to fill in as many people as poss?
but defenitly get price lists and info and ask them to pop them into the coffee area
