I'm pretty busy this week but next week is quietish.
thinking of emailing some clients to tell them that I have a 2pm, 3pm and 4pm appointment available next week on my usually busiest day.

Week after is busy, week after is quiet so far.

Have got clients booking 2 appointments in advance now to ensure that they get their appointments in before christmas so diary is starting to fill up slowly.

I had a staff meeting this morning & this was 1 of the topics we covered.

September & October for me were pretty dire but I attribute a lot of that with my full time long term member of staff going on maternity leave. Last week was normal & it's now looking more like it should do for this time of year :green:

So far it's better than October was!!!

I was really busy in October, this week has been quiet, next week is not as quiet but not as busy as normal but full the following week already! Hopefully next week will get busier!

At the mo i don't have many people booking In advance but i am encouraging december bookings to avoid disappointment. Mon and tues were ok, today h've had one cut and blow, thurs noone is booked, fri is busyish and sat is choca! Last week was best week turnover wise ever, sat was the best day i've ever had. Trying to see if we are getting into a pattern but nothing yet...

I'm very quiet this month, got a lot of bookings for December not so many for November. I'm hoping it will pick up as I can't be bothered rushing round at last minute with money to buy Christmas presents. Could do with that money now!

Did most of my xmas shopping at the weekend...now In my overdraft but would rather work my way back up than brave the shops In dec when i am hoping to be rushed off my feet!x

October quiet, compared to my other months, which is normal for me i have now determined. Will definitely get some promotions ready for next October.

This week is quite good, not full everyday but yesterday and saturday are both manic! The last 2 weeks in November and All December i'd expect to be quite busy.

If you're quiet why not get a promotion going or email your clients and remind them only 7 weeks til christmas. Tick off one thing on your wish list by getting gorgeous skin for xmas or something to this effect.

good thinking everyone. What I meant by a quiet month was that I dont have loads booked in for November and October was scarily busy for me so im a bit disapointed so far

Yikes its only just begun and plenty of time for it to get busy busy as Christmas party time is just around the corner but dont go telling Adele :lol::hug:

One salon quiet one salon ok. Definately down on this time last year.

I've had a busy October and November so far.
I've jsut finished a hen party (7 x lovely 50year old ladies) and had a great day, great laugh and my takings are healthy too.
X factor & bed for me now !

 

[hippy-chick]

well I sent an email out to all my clients that have provided me with an email address (approx 120) and got 1 booking from it.

Next week is quietish but the week after is manic.

I found November quiet last year when i was mobile and im finding it quiet so far as well. Just had a sign put up outside the shop so hopefuly this will help

this is my 1st year and i would say its looking to be my busiest month since july although its still quiet so having to remind myself to be patient. i have just connected my website to google maps and analystics so hoping that will shed light as to what works !
gonna use the next week or so to get my clients xmas cards organise promos and get things sorted for december.
Just booked in an event for march so at least i know i have something to look forward too during the quiet spells in the new year.:hug:
