Where are you based?I am located in Papakura Auckland.
Tell us about your business and why you wanted to become a WAHM?
I wanted to set up a salon at home so I could still be a full time mum. I only ever book one client at a time, you dont share the salon with anyone else, so can feel comfortable and relax, with your children doing what children do best (and I dont mind one bit!) You can also relax with no children around too as you have the salon to your self, this also means im all yours! I am not rushing between clients and you will never feel like a number. I wanted a modern salon that offered all the trimmings, good coffee, a great selection of mags and of course my 11 years of expertise make this possible :D
While my youngest is still at Kindy I work part time hours, but when he starts school next year I will be stepping the salon up to the next level! I love hairdressing, its a wonderful thing to make some one feel beautiful, I have many sleep deprived mums cry in my arms when they leave, because they feel so good about themselves and have had a little "me" time (even if they have had to bring the children).
How do you balance work/family/you-time?
I have been in business 18 months now, and have grown and learnt so much, the balance of family/business is great, my kids know upstairs is mummy's work, and only pop up on a late night for a kiss goodnight, they love knowing im just upstairs!
My husband and family have been a great support, my loyal clients are awesome, without them Upper Cut Hair Design wouldn't have worked, I am so blessed to have such a faithful backing! To keep my clients feeling valued I run specials every month, and try to to giveaways when I can (always looking for business' that want to donate, in return for advertising..... *hint*)
