Nail Fungus


The other day we had a client come in and have a pedicure. Our nail tech noticed that her nails looked abnormal. We explained that we cannot use our nail polishes on her and that she would have to purchase the polish that she wanted. The customer became a little mad and intolerable. She said, "I have had many pedicures and NONE of them had ever mentioned this before!"
Our nail tech simply said, "this is our policy. We do our best to be as clean and disease free as possible. And this is the difference between our professional place and others."
By the end of the pedicure the client was so happy with our place and our nail tech. She loved her pedicure and our practices at The Waterfront Spa and Salon.

If you may have a nail fungus, look up the uses of Vick's Vapor Rub. It works wonderfully for nail fungus.

Pamper Party for Cancer

We had a wonderful Thursday evening. We took part in an event for the WVU Cancer Center held at the Forks of Cheat Winery in Morgantown, WV. We offered massages and manicures to the Cancer Center. Tickets cost $50.00. All proceeds went to the cancer center. The women received manicures, massages, facials, food, wine and could win prizes.

It was a great event. It is wonderful to get out of the spa/salon and work out in a winery and meet new people.

Weddings

This past Saturday we had a wonderful wedding party in here. There were about 6 of them. I actually stopped doing wedding parties because we are fully booked with out them and sometimes brides can be mean along with their mothers. So I decided after one of my employees was in tears do to a bride. That was the end of us doing bridal parties.
This group of girls that came in were WONDERFUL!!!!!
The bride was so laid back and easy going, along with the mother and the rest of the bridal party. It made our day GREAT!!!!
We love happy people.
And the hair that Malinda, Raina, and Shaney did was really really good. I give them credit for doing all of the updos and having everyone in the salon area. GREAT job girls.

Moral of story.

Be a nice bride and mother of the bride. No one likes a bitchy bride or person.

Our Emails

We send out weekly emails to everyone at on our client list that signs up. We do this to offer specials to our clients. We know that everyone needs a spa day, but can't always afford to come in as needed. We love to offer our clients great specials as a thank you for your business.

I know some of our clients get annoyed by this or may feel we are desperate for business. I am sorry you feel this way. And I hope I can change your mind on why we send emails.

I also hear all of the time how happy people are when they receive the email. It reminds them to book an appointment or purchase a gift certificate for a loved one. I have also heard that without this couplon I may not be able to afford to come in all of the time to receive my spa/hair services.

We love our clients and are happy to have them and keep them.

Think of the emails as a reward for being such a great person.

If you feel that the emails are annoying please click on the unsubscribe button.

Thank you,

Nice Clients

I just got off the phone with a wonderful women. She and her husband are coming in for their anniversary. She is booking a facial. She is so nice and friendly. It makes my day when we get nice, understanding customers.
But when they are mean. They are MEAN!!!!
I have never understood why people are mean and hateful. You honestly get no where in life. All you get are people talking about you behind your back that you are a mean and hateful person.

Thank you to all of our wonderfully nice clients. It means so much to us at The Waterfront Spa and Salon.

We know we make mistakes at the spa/salon. We just ask for our clients to be understanding. We try our best to accomodate our clients, but sometimes we screw up.

Thanks,
Patrick Stanislawczyk
