Hi Teks, I have decided to expand into the pedicure biz to fill in the HUGE black holes in my appt. book! My 27 years of doing nails full time has boiled down to a serious lack of clientele! Some have moved to Florida, some are in the hospital with knee and hip replacements, some are in nursing homes, some have died, some took off their nails because of "financial reasons" i.e. the economy sucks and they have to pay their own healthcare costs now! I never, EVER thought it would be this bad! EVER! This the THE worst looking appt. book in the entire time I have been doing nails! So.. the day spa where I work had lost one of the pedicure employees in Jan, and they asked me if I would like to pick up the pedicure clients that will be (hopefully!) calling to schedule pedicures SOON! I am not turning down ANY money at this point! So.. 3 things:
#1. What recommendations do you have for pedicure polish? Oh.. and basecoat and topcoat recommendations too! My Dream polish wish list? Something ONE coat! Something SUPER FAST drying! Something PRETTY! Variety of COLORS! I am not interested in the gels for toenails right now, I tried some on my own toes last year, and although I did like them, I did NOT like the removal procedure! It just took way too much time to remove them from the toenails! #2. I've watched a few videos on youtube on pedicures, and found them very educational. Anyone have any favorite pedicure procedure videos or websites that offer free pedicure education? #3. Ok, now, how do I promote the new service I am offering? We just ended a basket raffle we were doing for the American Red Cross, and we pulled the winner tonight. I am planning to notify the "non winners" (lol!) that although they didn't "win" I am still going to give them a gift certificate for $5.00 off a pedicure service with me. Any other ideas or suggestions? All are welcome at this point! Many, many thanks! Pam Nail Designs Ohio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
