Hi All.
I need a little rant! For the first time in over 12 years of grooming, I have seriously considered hanging up my clippers!
This month has been horrendous for me, So far this month I have lost £390 from no-shows & last minute cancellations.
As you know I don’t take on new customers so this is from my regulars. I do ask for full payment if you miss your appointment but so far have received £45 from the £390.
Being self employed is hard enough, but when you don’t turn up for your appointment I don’t earn any money but my overheads & bills remain the same.
I know that everything is tough, & everything has gone up in price, but that is the same for me.
I have not increased my prices for a very long time, but sadly I will have to do so in the new year. I should do it now but I understand Xmas is just around the corner.
Rant over 😢
