It's not FUS, but you work from home?!

Note to future young eyelash artists, or what I learned from my mistakes, or Don't do.

""I have a space in my house, I'm going to convert it into a salon" Don't. And I'll give you situations why that's a don't.

First, why, because you probably have one heating system in your entire house, just like me. So, in the middle of your half-time set, your child will turn the thermostat up four degrees and argue with you about the glue. You don't know if you're arguing with the glue in front of a client or with your family who constantly touches the thermostat, so don't.

There is a chance that you could get Corona, and the only thing that affects you more than Corona is that schools are closed while your salon is open, so your kids are home 24 hours a day while you work. So in the middle of a fitting in the salon, a child appears. He hands you milk and says Open. You look at him in disbelief and open the milk. After you finish your work, you have a lecture that mom is downstairs at work and you ask him why he didn't ask dad to open the milk. "Dad was in the room on his laptop, he must have been working because his work is on his laptop." And what are my eyelashes??? He looks at me with a look that I know exactly what he is saying but is afraid to say. I explain that eyelashes are also work and that mom is at work even though she is physically in the house.
In addition, occasionally while you are at work you can hear exactly how the "rumble" is burning and you can guess which part of the house they are tearing up. In your mind, you sign a divorce because of inadequate child care, and when your husband sends you a message in the middle of work, "Did you buy meat for the barbecue??" you are thinking about some things that you are not allowed to write because the penal code of the Republic of Croatia forbids you to do so. If you were in a salon in another part of town, you wouldn't hear anything, and what you don't hear doesn't worry you. Don't.
You're so much at home that you're always available to everyone. That's what your family calls you at any time, when you tell them "I'm working" they say in surprise "Oh, you're working??" You think for a moment if people think you're the Queen of England, how much they've been wondering what you're doing lately, but it's clear to you why they think that, you're at home.

So that it's not just others who are the problem, the problem is also mine. For example, I'm always buying coats and various "eyelash" T-shirts, and when someone close and familiar comes to get my eyelashes done, I go downstairs in leggings or trainers. I can't wait for those Kallos T-shirts to arrive so I can collect them all, take pictures and stop wearing them. If someone really close to me comes to get my eyelashes done, I'm even more relaxed, so for example, I get my eyelashes done with a towel on my head while I'm cooking lunch at the same time. Multitasking. You take off the grown eyelashes, go upstairs to stir the beans and come back to the installation.... Doooon't.

It's wonderful not to pay rent and be in my own space, but I'm currently dreaming of a space that will be at least two kilometers away from home, so that like all normal people, with makeup and blow-drying, I can "go to work" while, like all normal working people, Glovo and grandma feed us, because I'm AT WORK ☝🏽

And how far are your salons from where I live? 😂
