We are not busy enough for a facialist/nail tech, any thoughts on having stylists do these services?
Getting some pushback from the girls about this. My nail tech took a leave of absence and during this time I wanted the girls to fill in to keep the clients. One in particular has a real attitude about it and she has been there the longest as she was hired to do "hair" and nothing else. I know they are not as good as the nail tech but in this economy we need to pull together as a team and do what is necessary.Any thoughts?See More
