I've just been to give a consultation to a 12 yr old girl. her mom rang me because she's a nail biter and wanted her to have enhancements to stop her biting, so i said i would need to go round to discuss it. All week i've been trying to think of ways to incentivise her not to bite and this is what i came up with.
i personally think that having enhancements aged 12 is too young (not to mention her school would probably have a mental) and told her and her mom that having enhancements simply won't be enuf to stop her biting and she may do more damage, so this is what i proposed. She has typical nail biter's nails.
i have told them that i will book her in for a 10 week course of manicures and have sold them some cuticle eraser and solar oil to rub in twice daily (which hopefully will encourage her to look after her nails). during this time i will be monitoring her nails and, to give her some encouragement, every week i will look at her nails and if i feel she has done her best not to bite or pick and generally look after her nails (i've told her i'm psychic so I will know!) i will give her a "£5.00 voucher" but if i feel she has had a good nibble and not carried out her twice daily routine, i will deduct the voucher.
in 10 weeks, HOPEFULLY this will earn her a £50 voucher. This will entitle her to one set of enhancements (if she so chooses) for her mom's wedding and one soak off. If she chooses not to have the soak off and she is in agreement with her mom that she looks after them well enuf, i will do a rebalance but they must pay for any service carried above or over the £50.
If she chooses not to have enhancements (which i personally would prefer) then she can have free manicures up to the value of the voucher and/or some free products.
What do you think of my plan. (in reality it will not cost me £50 because that is the retail price of any services/products, not my trade price).

I had something similar for my daughter getting her into a bedtime routine when she was little. I decorated it with stars and fairies and she loved it. Have you thought about decorating it with your business name/graphics or girly things to give it an extra special feeling to it....or would that be over the top???
