Hi Mrs beauty expert, did anything get better yet??

Our salon has been slower than usual, this upcoming week hardly anyone has anything, and normally the book is full.......

I know the economy is hitting some people really hard......

I am thinking of handing out some comp cards hoping to bring in more new business.......

I know it's an old question, but I love to be refreshed, what are all the tricks to getting in more business?

In my opinion, I don't think you should head to Macy's just yet, unless you can do it part time outside of your salon hours to help make ends meet, but if your heart is in doing hair there must be a way to make it work....

are you allowed to raise your prices at all? Are there other salons you can work at? This business can make alot of money, hang in there!
