I generally go for make an appointment and try to squeeze as many
into one day as possible.

UK weather sucks pretty much most of the year!!! and i generally am
closed between November-January - unless i get a real urge to go
watch the rain+seagulls!

However i have found that you can use the cold to your
advantage....nice drinks machine, heaters and also steaming for that
extra henna staining works wonders....i can fill the studio full of
people and have it like a henna sauna!!

Believe me closing in the UK for only 3 months is pretty good
going....even in the months Feb-May it can be pretty cold!!

We have a good framing process to make sure clothes dont touch the
design and 2+ heaters dotted around the studio to make it
cosy....free tea/coffee also gets em!

I would have thought that Florida would be a breeze compared to this
though ;)
