Hi all, This is a status I should probably be sad in writing but surprisingly im not. For those of you who work for someone, and my friends who have their own businesses will know that running your own business is not all fun and games. It infact means that you work every day of the week, if im not doing treatments, im organising appointments, which with a client base of my size is not easy at all, or il be organising rotas, cleaning, doing book work or accountancy which is a job within itself. when im not at the salon im still managing it either via phone call or text which again can be awkward when im trying to have quality time with my family. When people are sick I then have the disappointing job of contacting all clients to tell them the appointment they have been waiting for is no longer going ahead and rushing around to find any tom dick or harry to work for me so I can have that one day off that week with Gracie. As well as all this you get two drunken thugs walk past the shop and smash up my gas box which again causes an inconvenience, then there is the temperamental boiler that always manages to stop working on Rebekahs day off, when shes the only one who can fix it. And on top of that I come in one morning to find weve had a huge flood from a crack in the wall, causing the oak flooring to be all lifted but the worst of it finding out im the one liable for it. This December ive probably had about 5 days off and I cant help but feel like ive missed out on precious time with my daughter. Ive not been able to take her to see santa, to a pantomime, polar express or anything to do with Christmas like I have wanted to. Ive had a few days off after Christmas and its made me realise what matters the most and thats my family, I want to be able to cherish Gracies younger years & take her on lots of holidays and nice days out, cook her nice food & bake with her. my home has also suffered I feel like its not been the right home for gracie as shes whisked off to grandparents, dishes are left til the evening, because im rushing out to work, I come home late and shes straight off to bed. So basically I have came to the decision that as much as I love my salon I am leaving it behind. Im transforming my spare room at home into a mini salon. Il be offering all the same treatments minus the spray tanning. And the massive overheads for me ;) I live in Greenside which is only 5 mins drive from the salon and on a major bus route. I have 3 private parking spaces so the parking problems will also be left behind. I be working 4 days a week 10-9 and once those days are full they see full. I wont be working extra days so appointments with me will be a little harder to get but it may just mean my regulars will have to wait an extra week. The salons gotten so big and I cant keep up with the work load. Ive new people booking every week who are wanting to be in with me so days off really are few and far between and when you have wages and bills to pay its hard to knock back. I hope all my lovely clients will continue to come to me for their treatments. Thank you again to everyone of my loyal clients, Im so excited to continue doing what I love, but just a little closer to home love you all x ps as you all know I like to decorate Laura Ashley style so the room will be lush!! All vouchers and appointments weve got for weddings still stand, but some of you will be pleased to know we will offer pamper evenings for 3 or more people. 💜💜💜💜💜
