I am a booth renter in a full-service salon with no receptionist. We are all responsible for our own appointments. With so many hairstylists renting in the same salon you’d think my book would be full but it’s not. I get very few client recommendations from the stylists and they are usually one-shot deals. I understand they have no obligation to talk up my services with their clients, but you’d think that as part of a team they’d want to do so. The salon owner has brought up the subject at almost every quarterly meeting but it has made no difference. I don’t service the stylists’ nails because they do their own or have acrylics done by techs they’ve been going to for years. Any suggestions? Sincerely, Baffled
I live in a mountain community where everything is rustic in appearance. I would love some ideas for how to set up my salon with that rustic look. I found some pedicure bowls online, and I was thinking about putting river rocks in the bottom for each client to massage her feet on while she is soaking. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated
I want to purchase rhinestones for my nail art, but I’m not sure what size to buy (1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc.). How do I decide? Any input on what the most popular rhinestone size is?
Should a salon keep its menu basic or include multiple lists of service options?
How do you make your clients feel comfortable after they’ve cheated on you with another tech?
