Things have been very slow moving on the expansion/rennovation plans. It's been so hectic with all the festivals that we had to put things on hold for a bit. But we will be getting back to work in June. With the delay in working on the room we are having to move our Princess Bash back a month to end of July. We are finding more and more every day that we desperately need the additional space. Particularly when we have larger Princess Spa Parties. The first weekend in June we plan to get the walls completed - needing drywall on two small walls and painting. If time permits we will also get the flooring started the same weekend. We're going with a commercial grade tile for durability.
Our Cinco de Mayo Celebration was awesome. While we didn't have the turnout we expected (lots of RSVPs for the event but not all showed up) it was still a great event. Customers got to sample Lucy's cuisine and it gave Lucy and me some time to get to know each other on a more personal level since she came to my house for us to do all the cooking. Our menu: Flautas, Tostadas, Quesadillas, Biñuelos, Flan, Chocolate Cake, Orchata Water.

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
