Our Wedding Segment aired on May 9. It was so much fun, but I must apologize for my lack of tweeting during the taping as promised. Turns out that tweeting and talking aren’t the easiest multi-tasking duo to tackle. Here’s the link to our wedding segment if you’d like to check it out.
Meanwhile, while we were out blabbing to everyone we know about being on WCIU, the U, You and Me This Morning, we received another call. Do you remember the producer from the other TV station that we had been wooing? She actually called and said, “We want to feature Posh’aah Nail Spa on 190 North!” Ohh Emm Gee times three! I’ve been telling people that she would call back and say those very words, but now that it has actually happened, I am thrilled speechless.
190 North is another local Chicago program, except this program’s focus is to highlight great places to shop, eat, and experience in the city. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched 190 North and actually visited the places they featured.
We will be taping next Friday, May 18. I’m making little improvements to Posh’aah to get her pretty for her cameo.
And now I must trouble you wonderful, amazing, talented beyond measure readers out there... {I’m trying to butter you up. Is it working?} As I was saying, I need to trouble you for advice. My team members and I have learned how to remove the true cuticle and not nip the skin. However, a lot of our guests are baffled when we gently remove the true cuticle rather than cutting the skin. We’ve shared this rationale with our guests, but they still look disappointed. How would you address this situation?

Month three of Graffiti Nail Bar’s new location has been more than a handful and to say it’s been interesting is an understatement. I’ve had a few manicurists inquire about working at GNB over the last
I have a small obsession with indie/franken polishes that has almost consumed what little free time I have. I haven't purchased any because I know I can make some. I do, however, love coming across different
So, this post is about two weeks late. It should have been done over two weeks ago, but that didn't happen. I've become absolutely horrible at multitasking, and because of that it has now become the
I had my very first interviews with some really great manicurists. The crazy part about all this is I have never been in management before in my life, so this was a completely new experience for
My summer is coming to and end, and I'm so glad to have my kids back in school. I tried to make it all about my kids this summer, but work always gets in the way.
I wondered what I would blog about after the whole renovation, opening few weeks, and settling in. I thought it would get pretty mundane after that, but, no, life after moving is a whole other story.
Things have been running well, and I haven't had too many issues thus far. My appointment book has been full and booked at least a week in advance. So I've been happy with things...until a few
So I have no idea what to write this week. I've been knee deep in toenails and acrylic dust! Business has done so well that I haven't even had time to put the little finishing touches
Three weeks open, and things are pretty normal. My clients can't believe the place looks like it does, especially since the last place was pretty colorless. I'm happy and relieved now that I'm out of the
As I'm getting settled in, I have a few more decisions to make. One of them is whether I should have a retail area. I have never had retail on hand, but if a client needs
Hi all in the nail world! I've been busy here at the Purple Pinky Nail Salon! My open house, which I called a "sip and see," was a success. I had about 50 people come. The
So why is it the end of the month, and I didn't even realize that?! Seriously, I knew what date it was, but deadlines and bills have just whizzed by me all month. I've never been
So, it's the middle of my third week, and I have a recurring issue that I have never had such a problem with before: No call no-shows. I've never had such a great no-shows problem. It's
Summer has officially started for us here in Virginia. Schools are out and, as many others, I made the list for "worst end-of-the-year moms" :)Between tardies, gluing junk to homework, and reading baby books to save
Holy canolis, I'm a nail salon OWNER! Boy, how my to do list has gotten longer. My salon has been open for almost three weeks. The response has been great. My location is on a very
Where to start...where to start...well, let's start with: Why start over? When I graduated from nail school I was immediately hired at a busy full-service salon, and I started working hard to build a clientele. I
Last year I was a busy nail tech in a small town, completely content in what I was doing, trying to advance myself and set myself apart with the competition in my area. Had you asked
