I rent an area in a local hair salon and apart from a few teething problems in the beginning, it has been working well. I only work in the evenings and weekend as I am still employed in the day but am available for plenty of appointment opportunities when I am there.
A beautician has recently joined us and works two days a week. She does waxing, tanning, eyelashes etc but also offers french manicures and pedicures! Franch manicure clients are my bread and butter bookings and the last three I have successfully turned into Shellacers and have return bookings from them.
The salon owner does not think this is a problem as we are both "beauticians" and should share clients. I stressed the point that I am a Nail Tech and not a beautician and as such, I don't offer eyelashes or waxing. Am I being picky? I don't really want to leave where I am but dont think its fair that someone is offering the same services as me and taking potential clients. There is also the fact that if her work isnt that good, people will assume its mine as I am the "nail tech" in the salon. Am I making sense? I'm feeling a bit peed off at the moment and would really appreciate some objective replies!!
