Confused I've just quit my job! - 12-03-08, 04:17 PM

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to this site and this is my first thread. Ive just arranged to start renting a room in the back of a hairdressers and have just quit my day job! (was very scary)
Beauty Therapy is my biggest passion and have been working mobile evenings and weekends whilst doing my office job during the day. After being in hospital recently I realised life is too short to be doing something I don't enjoy.

Just wanted some advice really from other geeks that have started full time on their own. I will be offering, waxing, manicures, pedicures, facials, massage, spray tanning and tinting, im also looking to further my training in nail enhancements as I dont feel I'm up to scratch but do you think it is worth it or do you think i should concentrate on the other treatments?

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thank-you

Lily

Thank-you for your replies. definately going to further my nail training. Sorry Lisa Im not sure about places up north (my flatmate said it was north, sorry if its not). Does anyone have any advice on a facial range as I wanted to do dermalogica but after speaking to a rep I feel it might be too much to spend

Thank-you much

Dermalogica are excellent ~ they sell themselves and you get results (I'm not a Dermalogica rep, just love the products!) I know it seems expensive to start but believe me, it's well worth it! xx
