Manicure service Wahm
A unique and fun Wahm career is to start a manicure service. If you have a license in cosmetology, or are thinking of getting one, you arent limited to working in a salon. Many women are now looking for a more relaxed manicure experience, and you can provide them that by starting a manicure service in your home or a traveling manicure service. You can go into business for yourself with little start up costs and great rewards.
To start with youll need to get your license to manicure nails, if you dont have one already. Youll need to post your license in your place of business and also have extra copies just in case the original gets lost or damaged. If you decide to offer a travel manicure service, youll need a copy of your license to put in your bag. Youll also want to have a system for keeping track of money set up before you begin. You can use a computer program like QuickBooks to track your money flow, or do it by hand in a traditional ledger. Appointment books and receipts are also a necessity. Finally, getting a business telephone number is a necessary step in setting yourself up as a professional in your field.
The other necessary step is gathering all of your supplies and finding a convenient way to carry them from your home to the clients home. Youll need to bring your polish colors, manicure tools, nail polish remover, appointment book, receipt book and necessary supplies (including extra towels and cotton balls).
Traveling to a clients home is not for everyone, but there are many benefits to offering a travel manicure service. From your customers perspective it is much more enjoyable to have you come to them. One of the biggest drawbacks of getting a manicure out of the home for your client is that she has to drive home and avoid damaging the fresh polish. When you come to your clients home, she wont have to worry about ruining her new manicure.
Although you wont technically be a Wahm when you offer a traveling manicure service, you will have many benefits. If you offer manicures in client homes, youll reduce the number of people coming in and out of your home each day. In addition, youll be able to use your mileage as a tax write-off (make sure to keep accurate records of how much you drive for your business). Working at home can be isolating, so getting out of the house to do manicures can be a break in your day.
Advertising your business can happen in many different ways. You can leave your business cards at local Laundromats, convenience stores, gift shops and daycare centers. You can also put flyers up at bulletin boards around town. Network with people that you already have contact with, like the parents at your childrens school, your husbands co-workers and your former co-workers. Tell people that you are starting a business and get excited about it. Share with everyone you can think of. Before you know it, youll have a list of consistent clients who you manicure each month, or week.
Starting a manicure service can be a great way to work at home and do something that you love. Instead of paying high fees for a chair at a salon, start your own business and have the flexibility and income that you deserve.
