Hi Geeks
Please bare with me i do like to ramble!
Ok so I opened a salon 2 years ago and had been doing mobile for 10 years, during this time i rarely did facials (im a chatter and dont like quiet treatments!).
But now I have a very busy salon that has therapists and a manager and I only work 1 day a week in the salon and concentrate on the business rather then being a therapist. My staff though all like doing facials.
We currently offer an express and luxury facial using Eve Taylor and Microdermabrasion which is very popular treatment. We rent a Skinbase machine which I cant fault but I feel after 2 years of renting it its time to buy one and ideally move over to Diamond. So I had been looking at different machines and this is where I get stuck.. I basically know nothing about Facial machines and its 14 years since I learnt about Micro Current, Galvanic etc and I dont know where to even start.
I feel like I have read every single posts on here regarding machines which then just confuse me more.. So what Im looking for help on really is:
* What are all these new machines really all about.. RF, Cryotherapy, LED etc
* If I was to purchase say a 6 in 1 machine would I really need all the bits on it
* What has had its day and what is popular nowadays?
I had been looking at the A Lift but then have seen reviews thats its rubbish on wrinkles but good at tone and lifting.. is there a machine that does all 3?
Im looking to spend roughly no more then £5k .. Would this be enough?
Sorry for the long post I just seem to go around in circles and I was going to go book a few treatments elsewhere and do some research but I am very lucky that for my age I have really perfect skin and dont need any help So I cant see this would be of any advantage to me as I would not see any improvement.
Any help or advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks x
