Holly,
Good luck in your new life! It is my 3rd time starting a nail business also.
I am back in my original town but I no longer am "out there" in the community,
so I am finding it harder to build. (my kids are not in school any longer, nor
am I involved in scouts, PTA etc...) BUT..the good news is that my business is
growing steadily all the time. I have a different attitude these days
also...like I built up slowly...allowing me to get healthier and it has also
allowed me to spend a great deal of time with my grand daughter! ("time" is
precious to me these days)
If you don't have any luck in finding a replacement for yourself... what I did
was recommend a nailtech ...that I knew personally... for each client depending
on their needs. I also wrote on the card the colors and products I used on
their nails....

You may well be right......behind this whole idea is the original thought that
very few of my clients will have someone to go to now. They all know that
changes are coming.....and almost all of them, at some point, have made a
remark regarding what they'll do if I leave. Most of these people have been
with me for many years, many salons/spas. I will feel much better leaving them
if I can recommend someone good. As I started to consider how to find someone
good, the thought that I could earn $$$$ by training them, and the "goodwill"
occurred to me.
In my new location I'm going to build up a new nail business......that'll be
fun! It will be the 3rd time I've done that.

I don't know... I mean I wish you luck and hope you get a lot for your business
but.. I don't think I would buy a home based nail business. Ok.. so if you
have the time..maybe IF you found someone who was willing (and do you have the
room?) to work alongside you for like 3 months or so. THEN your clients would
get to know them and perhaps transistion to that tech's space when you leave.
But I think the client would have to really like this new tech otherwise the
client might go to their sister's boyfriend's aunt...who does nails
also!...just saying!
Now IF you had a salon..that is a different story..then you could sell business
and equipment. Client's would just keep going to the same place, blah, blah,
blah....

When I announce to my clients that I am moving, they are going to be a
combination of sad I'm leaving, happy for me and the vast majority of them
won't know who they can go to. This is something I can do for them.....find a
nailtech who will work with me for the next 3 months, get to know them, do my
nails so they can see what she does. I am not selling my clients names, I
would like to leave them with someone who I know will do a good job for them.
You do make a good point Denise, but that is definitely not what I had in mind.
I like the idea of a new tech paying the value of 1 service per client.....I
think that's fair. I am in the same boat as Lynette.....no one around here
seems to produce consistantly good work and the spas go through techs too fast
to keep anyone good around. I would like to teach someone to do it MY way and
if that person sticks with it they'll be making a good living.

so im going to play devils advocate here:
say im a client and my name gets sold. i find out, im never going to darken
your salon doorstep again. i am not a slave or possession, you can not sell
me. i will liken this to telemarketers buying name lists. it irritates me
just thinking about it.
now im nailtech that has bought this list. i just paid a googoblin amount of
cash, but im seeing no return, because i either suck as a tech or the clients
are angry for being sold and no one want to come to me. well THAT was money
wasted!!!!!!
ok...................im back to being me ;) in MY opinion its not right to
sell your client list. perhaps a better way to go is to look around for a
nailtech that does the same caliber of work that you do, interview them and
then once you've found a replacement, then give your clients their name. then
its up to them to decide if they like said recommended person or they want to
find their own.
again, just my opinion. good luck on what you decide to do :)
