Introduction to Group...hello!

I just wanted to introduce myself to the group. I live and work in San Antonio, Texas. I love Texas and specifically San Antonio. I've been in the beauty business for nearly 30 years. I learned facials from Adrian Arpell.  That will show my age to those of you who know her. I started producing my own product line before I went to beauty school and became an esthetician. I still sell products and love being an esthetician. Nothing makes me feel better than helping someone feel good about themselves. Very few professions give that kind of satisfaction. Many of my clients have been with me for over 25 years and we are still going strong together. I'd say 90% of my business has been referrals. I love to learn new techniques and products and always feel like I can learn from anyone. This has been a year of change for me. I started the online store (still under construction) and I sell my products to other salons and aestheticians.  It's been really good thus far.  I am also going to, for the first time, hire someone to help me out. I am nearing 60 and would like more time off. I never thought I'd hear myself say that.  Again, hello everyone and I look forward to learning tips and tricks from you.

Hi @BaileyInSA  Fellow 30+ yr Stylist here also ! There's not many of us around lol 🤷🏻‍♀️  Your business sounds very similar to mine, very long term clientele built by work of mouth.  I've been thinking about selling products online thru square as you started doing but don't know if the time taken to do so is worth the payback.  Do you find you sell more online than in the salon ? Or is the online just another option for clients for in between appts? Do you charge a separate shipping cost ? or do you slightly upcharge the product to cover it? Thanks for any info you're willing to share! Nice to 'meet' you here!
