How can I speed up my pedicures? I give full leg massages and apply polish at the end.
Should you fire an employee for bad-mouthing the salon (when she thinks no one else at the salon is listening)?
I am a seasoned nail tech and have just opened a nail salon. I need help sustaining new and regular clients in this economy. I have done many coupon sites (Groupon, Living Social, etc.) to build business and it has been a pain — plus my price point is higher than neighborhood discount salons. I’m not sure what to do to get the paying, loyal clients I need.
I’ve heard of low VOC paints and that they’re better for the environment. But how are the color choices and the quality of those paints? Is there a particular brand of low VOC paint that is recommended for commercial spaces like salons?
How often should a salon tweak its interior design look (little things like switching out the throw pillows, the posters on the wall, or moving around furniture)? I really like my salon’s overall feel, and I’m not sure if I should tweak things to “keep it fresh” or if I should leave well enough alone.
