Heel to Toe Sea Rocks Foot Soak

Heel to Toe has come out with one of the best foot soaks around!  The sea rocks foot soak has also a covenient flip top jug, which mean less unscrewing and less strain on your wrists.  The revitalizing sea salts with tea tree oil softens and hydrates leaving the feet feeling and looking soft, clean, and healthy.

Directions: Add a tablespoon full to a warm footbath.  Immerse the clients feet , and let the sit back and relax for a while. 

While this was rather expensive ,a tablespoon at a time will make it last, as long as you don't put more than is needed.

This product is one that I have client constantly asking if I had gotten more of it.  I buy 3 or 4 tubs at a time so I don't have to make the 60 mile treck to Sally's or Cosmo.  This is a must have for any manicurist or pedicurist.

BTW been putting my pic in so you can have a face behind this blog :)

Two Pedicure Items That Are The Easiest To Upsell For You To Make More Cash

     There are two things that are a no brainer when it comes to upselling to my client.  They are two addon items that are easy to apply and they speak for themselves.  The two items are paraffin dipping and pedi masks, and these two items can also be used on the hands.  The items can be used in pedicures as well as manicures, a double whammy for any nail technician. 
    The only high cost from you as the technician for paraffin dipping is the actually dip system.  I use a gorgeous crock pot to heat up the paraffin, but I also only currently offer it for hands.  I do not have a dip system because they run $100-250.  However, the blocks of paraffin are only $10.00 at Sallys and they have a multitude of choices.  I got vanilla which smells heavenly, the school I just graduated from used peach and even though I hate peach it smelled good!  Once you leave the paraffin on for 10-15 minutes you will peel it off like a glove.  The skin gets lefted as soft and smooth and you can imagine.  Once I have got the customer addicted those clients come in every month just for paraffin as an addon to their already good service!  I mean it, it sells itself!
    Another item that has been overlooked is pedicure masques.  It's not just for pedis either!  I rarely read about masques in magazines, and it seems to be overlooked.  I am going to bring this other item into the light for you!  Christine Ashley makes a masque called Barefeet, professional foot care pedi masque.  It's a 8 oz tube, so you have enough to last you a good while.   This masque is the perfect pampering treatment.  It conditions and softens skins while soothing and energizing tired muscles.  This masque leaves feet feeling cool and revitalized.  This masque is simple to use as well, use after exfoliating the feet.  (You can use this on hands too)  Lightly coat each foot with the masque.  Allow the masque to ry for five minutes then return feet to bath and rinse off.  The task has been completed!
    I promise you that these two items sell themselves as long as you get the client to try the items the first time.  Just like pringles "once you pop you can't stop!"  As my teach in nail technician school would say, "The best way to know about a product or service is to have it done to you".  You need to try out anything new to explain it the best way you can.  A little dulgance on your part can lead you to more cash flowwing days!

Client consults, make more cash

    One aspect of making more money that, for some reason, falls to the way side is client consultations.  Every client deserves that client consultation before beginning services.  It doesn't matter if the client has been a client of yours for 1 year or 10 years, everyone gets a consult at every service!
   When greeting the client make a firm handshake and eye contact.  This accepts your client and establishes a connection between you and them.  Going along with the established connection, never send your client to the polish and say pick out a color.  Rather, a nail technician should walk the client to the wall and help pick out a color.  Last offering a drink is a plus.  Whether it be wine and cocktails or coffee and water, client like feeling pampered. 
     When sanatizing hands, you can ask the client is they hae any medical conditions that you should know about, allergies, and what concerns the client may have.  While explaining this, it is best to end with what the client will recieve in the booked service as well as the upgrade options. 
     If giving a pedicure to the client, when he/she sits down in the chair ask the same questions as you did with a manicure while sanatizing their hands.  You can offer masks and other upsells during this phase.  I find the best and easiest thing I can sell is a hot paraffin dip on hands and feet.  I charge $5 a pair on paraffin dipping.
