It is perfectly acceptable for someone to have a treatment they specialise in and therefore want to have the focus on the treatment and yet offer other treatments aswell.

It may be 'normal' to have one section of a price list dedicated to each treatment but maybe Jenny doesn't want to be 'normal'! She may actually want to set herself out from the crowd as this can often draw a potential clients attention.

As far as I can see Jenny has done nothing but welcome all comments she has received regarding her website.

Hun u have just hit the nail on the head here chic, i could not have answered it better myself, apart from my spelling may have been a bit worst for wair lol

I see Ruth has tweaked the names again! Love them!
~ Keep up the good work Ruth!! ~

I like the idea of keeping the Brazilian and Hollywood as they are names that people are beginning to know and relate to intimate waxing....I also like your unique names for your other services! I have been a therapist for many years and know there are many clients who want the services but are sometimes a little shy about coming out and asking directly for what they want so they names really help in that department!

ZoZo - I think its a shame that you think a difference in opinion must result in an argument, maybe that could also be a reason why some people may not return to the site after being members for some time. There will be no pm from me as I do not feel the need to argue about what should be a healthy debate.

Also, I would not dream of charging for areas like toes and belly buttons. And I agree with Bombini, half an arm or half a leg is just that. But maybe that's why I am BUSY. Feel free to ignore advice from someone who is making a good living.

I GIVE UP. OVER AND OUT.
Business had been quite, but is now fast on the increase and to be honest, i will dismiss your comments due to your obviouse lack of understanding for the industry and my business, i appretiate all comments good and bad but i think you have taken this a little to far. Every one is entitled to there own opinions, but there is give ing an opinion and being rude . I would kindly appretiate it if you would keep such comments off this thread and forum

Well I thought it amusing to name the treatments after our cats, even though none of them are Sphinx cats...



(don't worry - they are born that way - although I fancied getting one just so I could name it "Gillette" lol)...

Oops, don't get on a mardy ladies (either of you lol). I guess there may be different opinions as to pricing waxing treatments; I know Kim (UK Wax Queen) goes for the more detailed approach; as far as I am concerned, either are equally valid, and it's a matter of choice as to which an individual would go for.

Ah, so that's where they got the idea for the Gremlins from then - Sphinx cats!

Just like Spielberg got the idea for E.T. from a pug dog

Quite right!
Each to their own I say!

I like to have a detailled price list, I have had various service menus over the years but the ones with more detail and choice have definitely worked better for me. Like it has already been said, the client then knows exactly what they are getting for their money....just my view, it works for me!

Allot of therapist that do not specielise in a specific treatment just advertise bikini waxing and no matter how much they take off they still only charge that price. Or a client will say could u just wax my toes or my feet or could you just wax my tummy and it all ends up one price. By showing the prices in this way it shows women that have problems in specific area that it is normal but also helps me and the client on what to expect in regards to cost of there treatment.
You have mentioned the bottom waxing and why any one would just have this treatment, hun many do, either because they just are consiouse or they have ovariaon cists and all sorts, and they do not like to ask , ummm, could u wax my bottom or could, they preffer to use other words that my client understands and i do. Can you imagine being at work, office full of staff and when u had a spare five minutes ringing your therapist to book in for a butt crack wax, i don't think so. So on this one i will have to disagree chicxxx
Exactly right Jenny.......glad you remembered that from your training. Well done. xxx
