How about offering to go down and set yourself up on a little table and do some simple nail art for the kids? Charge a few quid and donate it to the school.
You can chat to & give out your cards to the mums and dads while they're stood waiting for their little ones X

Hi,

I might be wrong but the email looks as though its inviting you to attend like all the mums rather than take part in.

If you want to take part I would get in touch with them telling them you are fully qualified/insured and offer maybe a offer a free hand & arm massage whilst people browse then you can talk about what you do, have price lists on hand to give out, have your diary there and maybe offer a discount for anyone wanting to book on the night. Your school may even let you do a mini mani and say give a percentage of the profits to the school fund.

As far as the waxing goes, I'm not sure that a) they would want a topless man in the school hall with kids and b) if you get a screamer it may scare the children ( you know how dramatic men can be )

Hope this helps a little and good luck

A professional file & polish would probably be received just as well!

Or, you could take your Shellac kit and offer a trial finger or two FOC and even Minx too if you offer this also.
Will help raise awareness of you and the products you're using, who knows once they've had a taster, they may well book in for the complete job!
You could run a special offer for them if they book in on the night? X

i would use water decals as they are simple to apply or pre adesive 3d stickers to add a bit of ummph to the colours.Of course file and polish but i would use a high quality and low cost item (i'm not sure what ones as i only past nail courses last year and not working in industry yet)

Hi,
have done a few similar events and usually do nail painting. You can do lots in an eve, ties in with the fashion theme and will cause lots of oos and ahhs when people see all the lovely nails being flashed arround!
You can have your price lists on the table and maybe do a special promo
for those who attend the eve?

I do quite alot of events at our local schools, i usually offer mini treatments because then you can fit more potential clients in, i usualy do file and polish on fingers and toes, mini manicures, and small waxing treatments like eyebrows, underarms, lip and chin. i also take down a small table with me with my price lists on and i also make a few flyers with special offers on although i do have to say some people do ask for massage so you could do mini massage, although i'd only pick a few treatments because you don't want all your kit with you.
