Ha ha, I have slapped a few hands now and then. I also do a lot of little
extras for my clients as well, they tell me they love me , and most of them
tip very well. So I am kinda Diva kinda Naivea, LOL. I hate to get too nasty
with them, just poke fun with them and like I said I have slapped a hand or
two. Sometimes I would really like to charge them for something but I don't.
I just need to raise my prices a little.
Also, I just put a sign up that for the winter I am not going to be open FRI
SAT or SUN, I am telling them that I need to fill up the other days first and
then only if I am full will I work FRI as an overflow day starting in the
morning. I hope this works out as planned.

me because I respect them and I NEVER EVER say NO.

Wow I only wish I could charge that much here. That would be awesome. My
Mani's are $15, Pedi's $35.

manicure. If I do NANOVIVE, I add 5 dollars. Pedicures are 60. I have a
large established clientele and I work alone. I never charge for polish change
and I dont charge extra for French. I may be NUTS but my client are loyaland I
changed their bad habits years ago by charging big for broken nails and bitten
nails so I dont have that problem anymore.

So do you charge more for the pedi, being that it includes the paraffin? I
charge $35 for a full spa pedi. That includes soak in whirlpool throne, callus
work, exfoliating scrub, massage with hydrating lotion, cuticle treatment and
toenail work, and polish. If I have to do extensive callus work and use my
callus treatment I charge $5 more. I take a little over an hour to hour and a
half w/ callus treatment. If I were to add paraffin, I would add another $5.
So what do you think I should charge?

Marureen thats a great idea!!!!!
Also hey Shannon and Angie the paraffin thang is a cinch............build it
into your service. I go thru a ton of it. If the client doesn't want it in
there pedi than they can opt out. Do I offer a substitute? nope.
I give in my spa mani a free tube of LemonMint lip balm. Cost me .98 cents. I
made a ton of them when I opened my biz. If you get my SPAthenian Greek
Manicure....you get a free Lemon Mint Lip Balm. They love it! They love
freebies yeah. Trick it to find ones that don't take more than 5 mins or for
cheap to us.

My girlfriend just recently moved to Indianapolis and had to look
for salon for her own hair. She is a stylist and was impressed with the policy
of the salon. With new clients, they get something free with the first 3
services. a free blow dry with a color or a free conditioning treatment with a
haircut. We can do this with one part of our spa services to promote a new
service tp our clients. What I have done and I sometimes pi-- myself off but,
it has helped, I raised the price of my manicures and I only do spa manicures

Yeah that is probably the reason, I am going to have to look at how I
promote things. And NOT give it away all the time. I may do an add on once in
a while for free, to show them, and they just don't seem to book it. Maybe I
have to put a sign up and have it in their face. I'll try again, see what I
can do, anything extra with this economy is a big help. I have suddenly
slowed way down the past two weeks. I know its probably the pedicures have
slowed down, but I am having so many people change appts. or no shows. at the
last minute, its killing me.

Shannon,
Maybe it's the way you are presenting the service.,
I tell my clients --- client, I am noticeing how dry your hands are. I would
love to give you a spa manicure or a parrafin dip. the exfoliation would make
your hands feel so much better and the extra moisture would norish your nails.
Sometimes, I even exfoliate one hand for them so they can see. Put some of the
products in sight and when they ask :what is this: you can explain. Be excited
about the service. Promote it.

I have a CND spa manicure duo. Nice stuff, if only I could actually have
someone want one, I can't even get people to do paraffin. I only have one
girl once in a while do paraffin. And I live in a cold climate where hands dry
out so bad they get really chapped. And still they just get regular mani's.

I am wanting to start doing a spa manicure. I have always just done a basic
one. Our salesperson suggested either OPI or CND. Has anyone used these? The
almond from CND sounds like it would smell great. How much more money do you
think you should add on to the original manicure? Thanks for any suggestions.
