To Be a Master~
My apologies. I haven't been updating like I should! :(
Anyway, it was awesome to find out my last/very first blog entry was featured. Thanks for that!
Also, since my last entry, I've only had one no-show, and all my clients are pretty sweet. I do try my best to listen to them and cater to their needs as much as possible. That's why I opt to enroll in extra classes. A week ago, I studied more in-depth about Skin Analysis with Miss Elisabeth Kiss (…

Stinkin' No-shows!
So, for starters, I'm 22. I've recently just hit past my 300 hour mark at the Cinta Aveda Institute in San Francisco. I've seen a total of 6 people as actual clients so far, and every day I'm at school, the more and more motivated and deeper in love I get with my career path of choice.

Kirsten Kayser replied to Cat Carbonell's discussion Walk-in's (Not) Welcome? in the group Building Clientele"If you are just starting out, and you have the opportunity for walk-by traffic and walk in appointments, it's highly recommended that you stay planted during the day. That one or those 2 walk-ins could turn into regular clients! I know a lot of…"

What are the advantages/differences/pros-cons of being an "appointment only" establishment versus a "walk-ins welcome" spa? (Especially when you're a solo practitioner!)See More
Celina Porter replied to Cat Carbonell's discussion Nature & Machines in the group Natural Skin Care"I personally think it is a bit strange, & I would not. However a lot of companies that have "organic" products are starting to carry their own machines. I think it just a matter of what feels right for you. "
Melissa weidman replied to Cat Carbonell's discussion Nature vs. Machine"Happy to hear it! The clientele at the center I am at are all ages but very educated on health topics, very health minded and definitely label readers which is why I chose the products I did. It's great conversation and nice to exchange health…"
Cat Carbonell commented on Lisanne Wilcox's group Alexandria Professional Body Sugaring & Kiss Waxing"Yes! I was considering flying down to LA for the weekend but it would just be too costly...The closer to SF, the better!
Also, how much is it for a class for a licensed esthetician?"
Cat Carbonell commented on Lisanne Wilcox's group Alexandria Professional Body Sugaring & Kiss Waxing"Is there an educator in San Francisco?"
Debra M Heap replied to Cat Carbonell's discussion Nature vs. Machine"I love NYR Organic (Neal's Yard Remedies) I have not found anything else that compares. Certified organic products.

The Grapeseed Co. Is worth looking into if you are interested in a cleaner product. It's a simple line with great ingredients from the earth and they are very open about the ingredients they use. The website has a page dedicated to…"

Hi Cat,
It's Willie, I'm in DC now. No shows are bound to happen and more in school than in the real world. Once out there Clients will do anything to hang on to their appt. or their money, meaning that they will still be charged for their service even if they don't show.
Keep it up.
Miss you.
Willie
