It’s Mani and Pedi Mania;

Posted on by Philippa Abbott

Every where you look these days it just nails nails nails, from mani cams at the all the big awards ceremonies to caviar nail art! You are not a celeb these days if you do not have designer nails to boot! Everyone is talking about Anne Hathaways’ L’Oreal nails, “Get the look”. The internet is teaming with images of her white nails with a beautiful black butterfly on the middle and ring fingers especially highlighting her magnificent engagement ring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am constantly asked by male friends…”why is your ring finger and big toe painted differently to the rest?”. It’s just fashion boys…and nowadays you can have the best Jimmy Choo peep toes but if your toenails aren’t lacquered with  the most up to date polish or nail art; you are not quite there yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other new editions to look out for are the new Mariah Cary range by OPI, oh so sparkly; and the new “Loubourin Nails” look where the underneath of the nail is pained red and the top side black, so you have a stiletto vibe going on!

Make sure your technicians are checking what’s happening overseas and they can carry out the latest looks because your customers will asking for them! Encourage them by having the necessary tools and products too; this is a great way for them to be more interactive with their clients and have more fun in their treatments. You can charge extra for the add-on service so you will be driving spends up on one of your lowest grossing services. Apart from all this it’s a fabulous way of marketing your business for free. It’s a talking point for your clients and they’ll be promoting your business everywhere they go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So happy nail painting all, have fun with it and put an extra spring in your clients step!

I qualified as a Somatologist in JHB in 2001. I began my career in the spa industry working on cruise ships for Steiner Transocean. I furthered my studies on my return to SA qualifying in advanced make up and special effects. I then moved to London where I worked in 2 of the most prestigious spas. I acquired knowledge in all aspects if the spa business and moved quickly from hands on therapy to part of the management team. When I finally came back to South Africa to settle for good I joined the management team of the Spas of Distinction where I grew my skill set even further and established a professional network throughout the South African Spa Industry. It is here where my roots are now deep seated and where I will remain for good. I started Spa Sense in 2010 and we have grown from strength to strength every year since then; forming key relationships with all the industry specialists. I head up the consultancy division of Spa Sense and run many of our training courses including Front Office, SOPs and Spa Sales and Retail. I also oversee our recruitment division making sure that all my clients and candidates expectations are always exceeded by the level service they receive from my team. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and hope I remain blessed enough to be in this exciting industry forever. This blog is a place I can share my views and experience so I hope you enjoy the articles and find them useful enough to use in your business.
