Hello all!
I've just accepted to take on a room at a local beauty salon doing hair extensions, I'm so excited. I start on 7th Feb but don't open to clients until the 8th. On the 7th I'm going in to train the receptionists a little on my background and a little info on extensions so they can take my bookings and answer small queries on the phone. It's a beauty salon and they have nothing hair related so it's they're all excited (especially the owner) to offer a new service.
I'm only part time for now as I don't want to pay rent for a week and not have any clients so to start its Fridays and Saturdays until I get on my feet so when I'm not there the girls can take bookings for consultations etc.
Anyway, the owner has told me to get loads of promotional stuff so I can advertise in her salon and in surrounding businesses (local gym, offices etc) I'm going to get leaflets and posters designed by Verve and going to order window stickers etc from balmain.
I have an idea for an opening day and just wondered what you thought and if you have anymore ideas.
The idea is to advertise before that on my opening day to give people a tester of extensions to do colour flashes, a small charge to cover the costs and any profit to be donated to a charity close to my heart (the cardiomyopathy association) I was thinking of getting loads of different colours red, pink, purples blues etc. and do a quick straighten or curl afterwards, if I get people to book or let me know in advance and if I think I'll be busy get the lovely Jojemac to help me (thanks Jo!) the flashes will only be small do a price per 5 strands so if they want it bigger they can etc.
The owner is going to promote me on her business page etc..
What is your thoughts and do you have any more ideas?
Thanks,
Olletta xxx

I will look into it. I've already placed my order with options otherwise I would have ordered mini shampoos and conditioners
