Keeping my notes and thoughts as I develop the salon.
Entry for June 5, 2008

     One of my stylist is gone now. I'm down to one stylist with her managers license and one stylist/nail tech that is fresh out of school. It kinda bums me out but I think in the long run its for the best. The other stylist/nail tech with her managers license had  a terrible attendance problem and it was costing me customers.


      Tanning has quieted down alot. The end of May/beginning of June is when it died off last year also. Its down 50% in the last 2 weeks compared to the 2 weeks before that. It should hold at this rate through the summer and then drop off again about the time school starts back up.


     I seem to have timed my tanning lotion supply pretty well. My shelves are stocked but only lightly. I bought an extra 64 ounce bottle of a lotion called "Liquid Adrenaline" that everyone loves and now I still have that on the counter. Other than that I am happy with my inventory levels


     Massage is going well. My one year goal was to have 10 massages scheduled at the beginning of each week and end up with 15 by the end of the week. I do that more weeks than not.


     I've dropped the trivia question for tanning. It had lost its "punch". In its place we are playing a version of yahtzee. We are going to play it until July first. People seem to like it and I'm giving away some good prizes, which always helps!


    Ok thats all I have for now. I will check back in a couple weeks.
