HEY BEAUTIES… MY FIRST POST HERE! WOOHOO..
So many people are asking the question how to set a lash and brow business up from home…
Firstly you need to have a dedicated space to work from. It is ideal to have a space free from clutter and close to a designated sink – not your kitchen sink!
A garage or bedroom maybe ideal for your space. It is a good idea to keep pets and children away from your working area not only for safety but for hygiene too! Be sure to check you local council guidelines and always have insurance on auto top up!
Here are my tips on starting your lash and brow business from home:
-
GET CERTIFIED BY A REPUTABLE LASH AND BROW SCHOOL. CHECK FOR TEACHERS CERTIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.
-
FIND INSURANCE TO COVER PUBLIC LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY – LIST ALL OF THE SERVICES AND CHECK YOUR POLICY TO ENSURE THEY ARE LISTED. WHEN YOU ADD A SERVICE BE SURE TO UPDATE YOUR INSURANCE
-
FIND THE RIGHT SANITISING /DISINFECTION CHEMICALS FOR TOOLS AND WORKING AREAS. KEEP THEM OUT OF REACH FROM CHILDREN AND PETS!
-
BOOK MODELS IN AND CHARGE FROM DAY 1… IF IT TAKES YOU 2-3 HOURS FOR YOUR FIRST SETS SO BE IT! CHANGE A BOOKING FEE AND THEY WILL SHOW UP AND NOT WASTE YOUR PRACTISE TIME.
-
GET A BOOKING SYSTEM THAT WILL REMIND PEOPLE OF THEIR APPOINTMENTS AND CLEARLY STATES YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY! MAKE IT EASY TO BOOK IN!
-
CONNECT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA BUT ONLY PUT YOUR BEST WORK ONLINE… FOCUS ON THE THINKING OF YOUR IDEAL CLIENT VISITING YOUR PAGE.. WHAT WOULD THEY WANT TO SEE?
-
CONNECT WITH OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES WITH YOUR IDEAL CLIENTS SO YOU CAN WORK TOGETHER WITH OFFERS ECT.
-
BUY COMFORTABLE ITEMS FOR CIENTS SUCH AS BED PADDING, AND SAVE MONEY WITH USING PLASTIC SHEETS FOR YOUR BED (BUNNINGS THICKER TYPE) SAVE ON WASHING! OR USE BED ROLL THAT YOU CAN THOW AWAY WITH EACH CLIENT.
-
HAVE YOUR IDEAL HOURLY RATE INMIND AND PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
-
CREATE A VISION BOARD THAT YOU CAN PRINT AND LOOK AT EVERY DAY WITH YOUR GOALS
-
ALWAYS MAKE YOUR BUSINESS CARDS A VALUE SO THAT PEOPLE WILL HANG ONTO THEM. EG: COMPETITION QR , $10 VOUCHER ECT.
-
BUILD YOUR BRANDING COLOURS, FONTS AND LOGO PROFESSIONALLY. DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF WITH ” AMYS LASHES” AS LATER YOU MAY BRANCH OUT AND YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL BE LIMITLESS. RESEARCH THIS.
-
IF YOU WORK BEFORE HOURS OR AFTER HOURS BE SURE TO CHARGE EXTRA!
