Sounds like you got oodles done! Well done. Sorry about other job kicking off but hopefully you won't need it for too much longer.

Thank you FP, DIA and SH

Treatment and retail price lists done, just need to do retail prices on the label printer, print full lists off and copy certificates. 

I'll start working through the nail display, try to do 5 nails a day. It holds 120 but I've not got that many bottles, I hope, and could do some basic nail art.

Was at 2nd home for an hour, long enough to water, be happy with how things are growing and back home for a rest.

With freshly coloured hair I opened today, but haven't decided when my open day / drink and nibbles will be; I'll decide when the photos are ready.

Was in for just gone 8 so I could do more organising, I'll finish it tomorrow. My client absolutely loved the salon, how I've fitted it out and the treatments received; booked in for the next appointment. Have a booking tomorrow and other days have bookings too, more following my page.

I've put together a folder of price lists and I'll add wording, treatment info and other bits as I go along.

Started doing the nail colour display and the colours are gorgeous. 

I'm recycling everything I can too as not many salons do..

I had a wonderful day, stress free and relaxing 😊

Thank you FP, Skinty and jwil.

Although it's only my second day, second client, both have been so positive about the new look and layout. 

I've introduced a short, specific area for massage and offered it to today's client. They totally relaxed, or slept, part way through and thoroughly enjoyed it.  This is my beauty model and we discussed what I'd like to get a bit more experience with. My details will be getting circulated round their friend and family circle.

I've finished all the nail colours for the display and they're a delight to apply. Need to do the extension colours and top coat effects; only about 7. Did more organising, put the rug under my desk.

I had a huge smile on my face all afternoon and got some much needed confidence back 😊

Tomorrow I'll be hanging the pictures, polish shelves and whatever else I can quickly do. Also visiting A&U.

Monday I'll get money paid in to the bank, finish 3rd home and the pro photos are being done. I'll do full advertising.

In the week I'll have a go at doing a basic website, get my details added to my facial co so people can find me for treatments and retail. I'll start the wording for the different services and products; latter is copy and paste from the company.

Tea was spaghetti bolognese and my feet are up, still wearing a smile 🤭

Couldn't have got this far without your support and encouragement x
