It got too complicated working out the tax and the interest rate for Credit card transactions that the salon would pay. I ended up (and still continue) getting myself a lockable small cash tin that I bring into work with me every time I go in. All my regular clients know I only accept cash. If they didn't get a chance to get some Cash before they come, they usually drop it off to me after they've gone the ATM to make a withdrawal within a few hours. Everytime I get a client booking for a full set, I tell them that I do not have EFTPOS facilities on the premises and I only accept CASH. This makes sure they bring enough cash with them. You only have to tell them once. After they come back for a fill, they always bring Cash. Also, I make all my own appointments. When the salon gets an enquiry, they call me and tell me the clients name and number and I then call them back. This way I can tell them Exactly what I do in my services. My opening offer got me heaps of regulars. I offered a full set for $99 and allowed 1 1/2 hours for each client. I got heaps of full-sets booking in from the window sign (in hot pink). Then when the sign came down and the full sets went up to $180, I had heaps of regulars to keep me busy between doing full-sets. Then as my reputation grew, so did the demand. I'm now booked out 3 weeks in advance these days and I'm having to stop taking any more new clients. Be ready to get some serious Lash Addicts. Your going to be busy !!!
