episode Why Your Clients Really Leave (And Why They'll Never Tell You) | Ep 24 cover

Why Your Clients Really Leave (And Why They'll Never Tell You) | Ep 24

87% of clients never tell their nail tech why they stopped booking. They just disappear. In this episode I surveyed 60 real clients - not nail techs, but regular people who've ghosted their hairdresser, beauty therapist, nail tech, brow tech and asked them to be brutally honest about why they left. The results were insightful, sometimes funny, and made me think about how I run my own nail business. We cover the vibe problem, the listening problem, the price conversation nobody's having correctly, and the clients you were never going to keep anyway. If you've ever lost a client and had no idea why, this one might help you!

Salon Life, Self Employment & The Things No Nail Course Teaches You

Ever wondered what it's really like working in a busy nail salon and whether going self employed is worth it? In this episode I sit down with a nail tech who spent 8 years employed in a high street salon before making the leap to self employment after COVID. Elle shares what genuinely surprised her when she started working in a salon, the etiquette lessons she picked up that nobody teaches you on a nail course, and how her transition into self employment actually came about. We also tackle a listener dilemma about a salon owner who keeps interfering in appointments - and what you can actually do about it. If you're employed and curious about going it alone, self employed and wondering what you might be missing, or just navigating the industry… you’ll like this one!  ⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Intro & Welcome03:32 From college apprentice to ten years in a salon 05:12 What a typical day in a beauty salon actually looks like 13:29 Having a boss: the pressure, the validation, and the clock-watching 19:10 What you expect salon life to be vs. what it actually is 22:48 Training, development, and why nails always came last 24:54 Salon etiquette: the stuff no nail course ever teaches you 28:09 The three things you were banned from talking about on the salon floor 31:52 Why Elle made the leap from employed to self-employed 34:21 The fears (and the confidence) of going solo 38:17 Loneliness, admin overwhelm, and the bits no one warns you about 45:02 What to know if you're romanticising self-employment 48:53 Nightmare from the nail desk — the salon owner jumping into my appointments 🎙️ Follow Nails & Yap on Instagram & TikTok: @nailsandyap.pod  💗 Follow Elle over on Instagram @elle_ekbeauty ⭐ Enjoyed this episode?

The Client Perspective: What Makes a Great Nail Appointment?

In this episode of Nails & Yap, I’m joined by Lizzie (one of my clients and also a fellow podcaster over at Tiny Talks [https://www.youtube.com/@tiny.talks.official?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnB-FMs8L8tRPITzsNUadDegQuw6k9qUAk9B14frEHwIsnt19kq_a5m-KYHoE_aem_xJep-1zd1-4LDXrjpbPMww]) for a chat about nail appointments from the client perspective. Lizzie is actually my first guest who isn’t in the beauty industry, so we thought it would be interesting to talk about what clients really think about their appointments and get an unfiltered, honest perspective. We get into: * What makes a nail appointment feel comfortable and enjoyable * The atmosphere clients love * The relationship between nail tech and client * Things that can make or break the experience * A few honest client bug bears 👀 It was such a good conversation and definitely one I think nail techs will find interesting - so I hope it's really valuable for you & your business!

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
