i was contacted by them and i've been asked to do a pamper party, it said that you would carry out the treatments then they will get feed back from the clients then they will pay you later on by bank transfer or cheque

i'm trying to have a search now but cant that much info about them at all.
they want self employed people but they get the money from the clients first then pay you, that doesnt seem right.

thanks for your reply x

I was contacted by a similar company asking me whether i would like to help with a pamper party too. They wanted me to carry out all treatments on a large group of ladies and i would get paid £30 after i had carried out the treatments.
It's just not worth it, i run my own pamper party business anyway and make more than this on my own. Can't speak for this company though but in my opinion id just cut out the middle man and operate for yourself...xXx

Hi ya
I did a party for mypamper party a while ago and was payed once they recieved the consultation forms. Think I recieved the payment in the bank a week later. I did a hen party for 7 people all had either a mini facial or a back massage. It was about 30 minutes away from my house so I just thought it was a one off, but so far one of the ladies has become a regular client. I was just started out and really didn't want to turn work away.

Yes I've worked for them, in fact I'm pictured on their site how embarassing, yes they do pay you. They've been taken over now and other sites like 1lookbeauty also operate in the same way. They are both good companies to work for. Good luck!
