OK this is what I did. I only buy once a month I limit my polish purchases and things to the standards only adding a few colors from the new collections. Also every time a client tells me they like something I don't go run out and buy it 10 out of 10 they will forget they told you or if it's a polish color that only they use I have them purchase it and I will apply it. Second I use style seat to book my appointments it totals my month lets me adjust pricing and helps me to better see what I am making. I also have separate checking accounts for my nail business transactions. I write myself a check for my work on that given week then I deposit it. I do not use that check card from my business account unless it's a business purchase no Starbucks or car washes lol. Also I was so bad at this if it's a client that's been coming for a while I wouldn't charge them regular price I would discount them that has to stop I'll throw in some free simple art to keep them happy but everything else goes on the bill. I'm sure that if you just do at least 2 of these you'll see a difference. Also I charge FAMILY at least $25 but I don't do super crazy stuff on them unless they pay more. Chloe

I need ideas on attracting new business and also on cutting corners on expenses. I think I spent too much on things for the salon, ie: polish, gel polish and such. The booth rent covers everything else but I'm still out of pocket for about 1200$. Need my own book busier too!
