Has anyone had any dealings with them? Thinking of applying for a position with them. Will be at Manchester Airport.
Oh that's not good then!
Tell me .. Why would you give that advice when no one to date has ever had a successful business at the airport ? Is that really sound business advice?If it was an employed position where you'd get a wage I think it's something worth considering in that when working for a big company it's more about moving customers along a conveyor belt than getting a regular clientelle (this isn't to everyones taste but it can be good for experience...I have a feeling that working for nails inc might be a similar thing perhaps).
If you're ok with the crazy working hours I think it would be a good experience. Maybe jobs in airports have a high staff turnover due to the working hours being all over the place but yeah, I'd go for it.

I travel through that airport regularly and have done for years and I have never seen anyone having their nails done. Not once. Bored technician sat at the desk, and no one in the chair. Plus we have been approached to supply so many times by people opening up there and thank god always declined because they have always folded within a year or so. My advice is based on experience; on what do you base your advice to, go for it?
It is an employed position, good salary plus commission on treatments and sale of products. I believe it's only going to be polishing nails, maybe eyebrows and tans but not sure on that yet. Like Geeg said, thinking about and asking colleagues, who has their nails done when they are waiting for a plane and may have to dash when they are still wet too! Just not sure about it now.
Everything you say is entirely agreeable. I don't disagree with it at all.
My advice is based on how diffferent people look for different things in a job. If someone is looking to work for a top company and be really busy and stay with the company on a long term basis then based on what you say, it probably wouldn't be the job for them.
However, it is the sort of job I would go for as someone who is looking to have a varied range and amount of experience on my cv whilst being at the stage in my career where I am working for a wage. In the worst case scenario, if the company I worked for didn't succeed it would still have been a constructive experience of employment that would have widened my experience of the industry in the long run and overall. Looking for another job upon a companys closure would be all part of the package I guess.
So I totally agree with what you're saying geeg. The wise words that come from experience are always worth listening to. If someone is looking to build a client base and has aspirations in this respect then applying to work in an airport is probably not for them. If someone (like myself) is looking to experience lots of things within the industry and is working for a wage then the sort of jobs they'd go for would probably be different. I can imagine that someone in their early career would consider applying to nails inc but someone who is in the later part of their career would probably expect more from a job and this is ok too
Is Be Relax still at Manchester Airport? I see recruitment adds for them every now and then (which again, probably speaks volumes about the kind of jobs that it could be re high staff turnover perhaps but still.....)
Tis all good
I actually got emailed by them as they found my cv from somewhere and emailed me wanting me to go to see them as I'm 13 years qualified and they said they wanted someone with my experience ! I never went looking for the job it came to me ! When they said about hours etc I wasn't sure as it's 5am starts some mornings ! The open day is 4th Monday and they want to see me but I'm not sure at all xx
