Diana, OMG I know just what you are saying! I had 4 scheduled clients last Friday for this week but still ended up doing 23! ??? It puts me into a panic sometimes, but I just throw out a deal on twitter or facebook, or send a newsletter to remind them, and then the phone rings. It is truly amazing. Unfortunately, the stylists I work with can't quite figure out that they do need to learn new stuff and keep up, otherwise they will be out of business. I wish they would take my advice...it would save me a lot of headache and time moving salon to salon.
