[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I was getting ready to walk into the gym this weekend when my husband called. He called to inform me he was as our warehouse doing some organizing. Apparently he left the night prior, before he was able to clean up. He asked “if I wanted to come to the warehouse and we can start […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I don’t particularly like the work associated with decorating. However, through my years at my Salon and since the day I owned a home, I always seem to go over and above when it came to Holiday decorations.   [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”14px”][vc_column_text] I would have to say initially, I felt obligated as a Business owner

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] This past week I posted a one(1) line statement on Facebook. “WHAT HAPPENED TO RESPECT?” The comments posted solidified my point. Many of them went directly to politics, criticizing and accusing our President of causing the lack of respect in our Country. The post was NOT at all politically motivated. Let me share a

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In March of this year when our sales dropped 90% I would never have imagined the challenges of COVID would still be present 7 months later. After 30+ years of owning my own Business, I’m aware of everyday challenges and hitting them head on. However, there is no Business class, there is no Book which

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] When I wrote my article last week, I was a tad bit apprehensive. Even my husband thought I was taking too much of a risk.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] In 1987 when I bought “A Polished Look” Nail Salon in Largo, Fl, I would never ever in a million years imagined I would be where I am today. The opportunities which are available to us in this Industry, are endless. It isn’t so much as making a ton butt load of money, it’s

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] My education on writing a blog begins with learning how to use the right title. ARE YOU EASY?  lol….so many ways this conversation could go. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”14px”][vc_column_text] Fear not. “Are you easy” is questioning the ease of customers being able to do Business with you. The ease of customers being able to make a

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many of you have reached out to me in regard to knowing your cost per service. I know what the industry tells us. Break down the cost of each individual service. From suds to soap. From top to bottom. Most of you break down the “product” cost per service. However, to get a true picture

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I don’t know why I write about the topics I do. It’s whatever hit’s me at the moment I’m ready to write. Sometimes an idea might come the week before, mainly because of what I’ve seen on Social Media(SM). [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”14px”][vc_column_text] Lordy be! I have come to the conclusion that I am not supposed

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] One of the things I like about being my own boss, is being the final decision maker in the products which I bring into my venue. As a former Salon owner and still a licensed Nail Technician, I understand the challenges we face within our Industry. One challenge being the grueling task of choosing
