Stay Positive!

Hi All,

I've noticed that recently there have been a few treads from geeks getting downcast about the lack of clients booking in etc. I have been feeling like that too, but things do turn around when you least expect it.

After moaning a few weeks ago about my lack of clients etc, I have had a couple of good weeks and have now got 12 new clients on my books! Chuffed to bits! And the owner of my local hair salon called me and has invited me to rent space in the salon after seeing my work on a couple of people! She only wants to charge me 15% of my takings too, which is great. Couldn't believe it - am on cloud nine!

I know that sometimes it feels as if you are banging your head against a brick wall, doing leaflet drops, advertising etc and getting nowhere, but hang on in there and it will happen. At first I felt as if I had made a huge mistake thinking I could make running my own nail business work, but everytime I get a call or someone compliments me on my work I know it is the best thing I have ever done. And if you are ever feeling down, there is always a warm welcome and so much advice on this site!

Glad you posted this, i too have been so quiet and feel quite down when i know my nails are getting good. I get loads of comments about them but obviously the right people aren't seeing them.

I'm doing a wedding fayre on sunday 17th october so hopefully that will help bring in a few more clients. My aunt who loves the 3D stuff is coming down for me to demo on, and so is Geek Debs. So i'm hoping doing demo's will prove to people i can do it.

I`m glad to help........I personally feel that until you`re seen with someone at your table, then people tend to look, then shy away. If I can encourage others to have a nail done by just sitting there and having some excellent art done on my nails then it`ll be so worthwhile.

This post is very true, it seems as though there are horribly quiet times where you think your clientele will never build up and then all of a sudden they pop up, ive had slow clientele for months and months then last week i had 3 call me, a nail party and received another call today so hopefully things are looking up although its not a lot it does do you wonders i qualified over a year ago and am only just starting to get my confidence, hang in there Wends it will pay off soon x x x
