Rep Power: 21 | The value of smiling faces When you walk into a salon and see the smiling owner sitting behind the desk don't think that smile is fake its a true tribute to how much they value you as a person......Clients aren't just money to an owners of a salon if they were then we wouldn't bother to learn each clients name nor would we find the importance of smiling when you enter.....I know not all salon owners are like this but I think for the most part its a love for people that drew us to this business and we really do love the people ......Why am I rambling because I have pretty much reached an agreement with a buyer..... I wasn't looking to sell but fate had 3 different people offer in a few weeks period to buy this very charming little salon of mine..... I love my salon so I at first said "Its not for sale" but 3 presistant offers later makes a girl think.....So I arranged a meeting with the very first couple who came in and as it stands now I believe I have sale......They are a great family and want something for the Mom and Daughter to run together.....The price is fair and I also have saved alot which will now be spendable in lue of the slow season.....yet I was up all night thinking about my clients, How some of them are like family leaving an impression on my heart that seems to deep just to call them clients. We share frustrations, Joys, Laughter, aggrevations,saddiness, the day to day stories that write each of our lives.....I laid awake contemplating the change in life, I have put alot into this salon adding airbrushing, body wraps, a credit card machine......Business is good and 07 has been great here an increase over the previous few years....But I am ready for a change, ready to embark on something new..... I have a wedding to plan and could really go for a months vacation even though I am sure I would go insane with 30 days off!!! I wanted to let the clients who chat on here know what a pleasure it is for us to serve them and hopefully its equally a pleasure for them to visit us for that beautiful tan year after year :)~ |

Rep Power: 21 | Re: The value of smiling faces Why the sad face Neon?? Thank you Lewdy.....are you sure you have read my threads LOL some of them are crazy hehe Lewdy this is a great business to be in:) This is hardier than I thought it would be...... the family that is buying is great.....its just I feel like I am deserting the clients who bring me starbucks, and christmas cookies:( If all goes as planned they want sell date of May 7th with a take over date of the may 21.....This is all happening super fast but I am kinda glad because it doesn't give to much time to think! 2 days after the take over I leave on a 7 day cruise..... It will be strange not to call myself a salon owner.......Am I still allowed to chat on here?? |
