Small debt - but no kids or mortgage… However, I’m staring down the barrel of a gun there pal and the sands of time are running low… but like you say, gives her two years to get it up and running and making enough to hire someone… On another matter totally unrelated, how’s are your legs for waxing? Need them done any time soon?

Waxing is a dying business mate. Its all about the Laser treatment these days.
Have you had your fanny lasered, pal? …And i’d strongly disagree, 70% of women in Ireland have still to get to grips with hair removal of any sort… A large percentage of those that go to waxing go for the service and ‘chats’ also… Not to sit there with a big gun pointed at them that’s left on manual while the operator is off checking their face book… You’ll also be glad to know that we offer tinting, threading, spray tans and nails, pal.

Choco, why is fanny waxing so much more expensive in Ireland than in Europe? I have been informed that waxing in Spain costs about a quarter of the price it does in Ireland. Is it because the Spanish ladies are hairier or are they just more personal hygiene oriented leading to greater competition between fanny waxing outlets? Or is it that there are greater number of workplace associated risks in dealing with the Irish gee?
Fucked if I know… everything is cheaper in Spain tho, pal… but the next time you are getting waxed in Spain ask them what wax they are using… Lycon wax is used by the better places in Ireland and is expensive. I think it is only appearing in countries like Spain now so expect to pay more for your crack wax in future, pal.
It wasn’t me mate, eh, it was a friend. This was a couple of years ago too. She also said that they seemed more competent at the whole process compared to her Irish experiences. Perhaps Irish beauticians are still not fully comfortable with fannies? One beautician even went as far as gently blowing on her fanny following the wax removal. In short, I hope Princess is comfortable with working with fanny’s and perhaps she should practice blowing on fannies.
If you have any other questions just let me know mate.

It sounds like your ‘friend’ went with a shabby outfit where ever she got it done… and not the type of places princess has worked as they are extremely customer orientated. There are scores of places claiming to be waxing exports but they are butchers - these are usually general beauticians who do a bit of everything… whereas just waxing specialists are a different story… Now let me alone, i know way too much about this as is.
My “friend” only went to high end outlets mate. Which was reflected in the cost, but not in the service compared to outlets elsewhere as I have outlined.
Waxing exports? Is that for girls heading off “on a year out” or what? Seems like a bit of a niche market for a new business mate.
Will she offer happy endings? If she does then she’ll be inundated with lads looking for the back, crack, sack n’ jack.
specialise in male waxing and call the salon Mr Miyagi
According to that Adare Farm crowd their pig on a spit feeds 100, and that is cleaned to the bone every Saturday at 6 or 7 euro a pop.
Well, she was royally fucked over where-ever she went to, mate… I’ve seen the money in it, it is certainly worth getting into mate. A good week would see anywhere between €1000-2000 -before cost of stock is taken into account… of course that’s an established place with 2/3 workers but an average day on your own for an established business would easily see €200-400 if not more at peak times of the year…It could take 12months + to get there but by year two i forecast big things.
Fanny certainly is worth getting into. Interesting pal.

They had a butchers shop there too, but they closed that a good few months back. Think it’s just the pig on a spit there now. I suppose they would be there from 8 getting setup and there woudn’t be a pick left on it by 12:30/1.
5 hours work & an hours cleanup and you’d hope they’re making about 50% of the price in pure profit accounting for overheads too. 350 euro profit so paying themselves 58 odd quid an hour roughly. If its 2 people splitting it then 29 quid an hour then its not too bad. If there’s 3 people then it starts to unravel a bit. Maybe 50% is a bit ambitious too though.
Has anyone else on here watched Alex Polizzi’s Chefs on trial on the BBC?
Gives a fairly good insight into the running of a kitchen/restaurant. Interesting watch.

Yeah -1OO is the magic number I had in mind… there’s a pie lady who makes about 40/50 pies at 6 euro a pop. Nothing mega but not bad for a Saturday for an extra income if you were at home minding the kids during the week. Like I said, the hotdog guys on a good day would see 100-150 customers pass through at 5 notes a pop. The country choice must sell to about 200 easily just the hot food section and they charge 5-8 notes a go.
I’ll swap ya a back wax for a PT session.
