Working in a salon


Question Posted Sunday December 23 2012, 12:11 am

I'm currently working in a salon as a nail technician. I just started, and the salon is small. It's only me and the owner who does hair. The salon has only been open since August and is still a work in progress. I offer manicures and pedicures, and I have my own manicure table, we don't have actual pedicure chairs, so we have a portable tub that we use. I know that it's not the best, so my question is is how can I make pedicures and manicures more enjoyable for my clients so that they don't care about the slow start? Like I said, our portable tubs aren't the best, so what exactly can i do different to make the clients enjoy it regardless? I do plan on getting a real chair, when I have more money. Any ideas are welcome, and please keep them cheap but nice! Thank you! :)

A small investment in a nice one cup coffee machine like a Keurig Coffee Brewer, the salon owner could share the cost with you. Will allow you to offer a variety of Tea's, Herbal and others, Coffee, Hot Chocolate. You could also offer a variety of juices along with some snacks like cookies and finger cakes. Here again the salon owner could or should share the cost.

This will allow your customers to occupy themselves for a while while their feet soak. Then when you are tending to their feet you can occupy them with conversation.
