Re: Slow...

September was suicide for our salon! Sales are terrible and what sux even more is the ppl who do have packages come in and use there unlimited more but that uses more electricity and brings in no additional money! October is a little better and our Airbrushing has really picked up!

Unhappy Re: Slow...

It's sad to here that so many are doing so badly this year, fortunately we are doing better than the last 2 years, having said that we've just had the worst sunday ever!!
hope it starts picking up for everyone

Re: Slow...

We had a very slow Sunday here today. I think everyone was watching ball games at home.

Re: Slow...

Thankfully we made a profit yesterday, just mind you but am starting to think the same way about opening up on sundays

Re: Slow...

another week goes by and yet another s***ty sunday, after paying the staff today was a complete waste of time. Think our main problem is that if we start to close on a sunday then the customer's who do come(most come during the week as well) would go to our main competitor, no really bothered about losing their trade on a sunday, but don't want to lose them permenately though. Anyone else in the same boat??

Hang in there! I find Sunday's are needed for the regulars. It gives you time to talk and get to know them. I work Sundays so I don't pay anyone. I am open from 10 to 4

Absolutely! Thats one of the catch 22s of opening on Sundays. Until season arrives, Sundays are generally a hit or miss. I open for just a few hours (12 - 4), and work it myself.

Re: Slow...

same here. sundays suck but the competition is open 12-4 even though we are stronger. the problem for me is that i used to open 12-4 then changed it 12-6 since most customers get out later that day and now most my traffic is after 4 so im stuck 2 extra hours and yet not much more at all in revenue.
