Roxy, just from one perspective, it is sometimes hard to say. I would think many would say that Friday and Saturday's are best, and of course everyone likes to look their best for the holidays.
In one humble opinion, I would think the holidays could be the best for you. Maybe..maybe...you might look at it this way. Perhaps you actually started at the best time. You only have 44 more days until Christmas. Maybe....you might want to stay put until after the first of the year, and then cut back some if you want. If you get a customer now, and develop a relationship, they will become a regular even in the slow time after the New Year. Maybe you could sell them a package so they will come back regularly from January on?
I guess what I am saying Roxy is that this may be your best time to start. We one time ran just a stupid little ad in the local paper for the guys saying "don't know what to get your significant other....EVERY woman likes to be pampered. Here is something that keeps on giving the whole year while she gets looking her best for you!!!!"
We sold those packages like hotcakes....and....we in the process developed a relationship which a good number kept on coming after. Worked for us.
Trust me....you will do ok. Don't worry. It is going to be ok.
