've recently qualified in doing acrylics
and gel nail polish. What is the best way
of getting clients?
The best way to get the clients is old-
fashioned word of mouth. Start talking about
your business, leave your business cards
on the post offices' boards, some shops
might take it. Talk to hairdressers and ask
them if you can leave your details on the
table, their clients might read it. Facebook is
a great way to promote your business and
share your work. Set up a website where you
show potential clients that you are serious
businessperson. This all plus good quality
nails should work and build your clientele in
few months.
ne of my clients came to me four
and a half weeks ago for a full set.
She has rung me today to demand
her money back, as they only lasted 4
weeks. I explained during doing the set that
the infill period is between 2-3 weeks and
that them lasting any longer is a bonus. How
do you deal with a client like that without
loosing it?
The best thing is to have an aftercare leaflet
explaining that nails last 2/3 weeks. Clients
do not know these things, they haven't
studied nail technology, and so you must
explain to them how it works, politely of
course. If you don't, the client will think she
has a right to a refund and she will demand it.
