Redface Local Salon? - 09-07-09, 09:16 PM

Another question for the all knowing people...

I live in the UK, Staffordshire to be exact, about 10 mins from Stafford itself, is there a recommended salon/geek that does treatments etc in this area.

I have a holy fear of going to a salon to be treated by a six week course so called 'beauty/skin care specialist'. Id like a Real expert.
(no offence meant to anyone but I think you know what I mean)

Tbh Im clueless and I need all the help I can get.

Personal recommendation is always the best, but don't set too much store by the length of training undergone.

I've just completed a year at college (night school - 3.5 hours a week, plus a load of homework) and the difference in the attitude of some of the attendees was unbelievable. A couple of them had been sent there by their salons and really, really didn't want to be there, so mucked around quite a bit. Some of us were there at our own expense and we worked damned hard to learn as much as possible and to get the best possible qualification. Sometimes, those on a six week intensive course are far more motivated than those on a year long course.

Can't help you on the specifics of a Stafford salon, but there are plenty here who can.
Good luck!

I know an excellent therapist who works from a home-based salon in Shrewsbury. She has years of beauty experience and is also a qualified nurse. If that's on the right side of Stafford for you, and is not too far off piste, then please pm me and I will send you her details.

Unfortunately Shrewsbury is the other side of Stafford to me and I rely on others for lifts atm... I know I can get to Stafford as my Chrio is based there lol.
Thank you for letting me know though
