Thank you - its another way of looking at it. And apparently though, BABTAC have confirmed the same thing as Refectocil. Its a recommendation though, not a requirement, but we have to do it. Very confusing...

I have had a long messaging session with Refectocil just now. They continue to say that they ‘recommend‘ that we patch test before each treatment, but they have told me about three times that it is not a legal requirement. I really feel that a recommendation is not the same as a requirement -...

I have just had confirmation from Refectocil supplier that a patch test must be done before every treatment. It seems completely over the top and I don’t think clients will want to keep coming in just for a patch test. As long as you are testing after a long time of not having it done and...

I am reading more and more questions which people are asking about their new training. Someone completes a course and then has to come on here and ask many questions about how to do the treatment, what products to use and maybe how to upsell it. As an oldie, I find it so worrying that people...

Yup, me too. Very slow and very quiet. No idea what will happen at Christmas, but don’t think it will be good, unfortunately. Am reducing my days now. I know others are too.

I use a mask and visor when client arrives and leaves and then use a podiatry screen between myself and my client during the treatment, so I can take my visor off. I have my mask taped with micropore tape to stop my glasses from steaming up, as suggested by my consultant Dr friend. Not sure...

Glad it went well. I might get a couple and put them in cleaner. Might make it easier. Thanks for feedback and good luck! X

I would be interested to hear how you get on with the metal spatula. Can I please ask where you got it/them from and how many you bought? Good luck! X

Can I just confirm then, that you would take used spatulas to the recycling/dump even though they have wax and maybe hair and over them? I never thought of that. Don’t know how they would be re-used, but its an idea. All my products are being cleaned after use, but that’s normal. I have...

Rosie - you are a star! I have found them.. Just what I need. Thanks again. X

Thank you! I have looked at that one - very expensive! I would like one from the side rather than the back, so I can work on the rest of the body, but I can’t seem to find one anywhere.....

Has anyone found a screen which can be angled across the couch or manicure table to provide a barrier? Would make waxing legs a lot easier. It would need to be on a stand ...

Anybody else worried about the number of wooden spatulas they are throwing away? Could get metal ones and sanitise them but need bigger wooden spatulas if not. Any suggestions? Also, I can’t really see too well through my visor? Is this just me??? First day teething problems - do you have any?

I also read that screens may not actually be that much use. I just hope our insurance companies can give us some guidance too about what we need to do.

I have been asked for vouchers, but have only done them on the understanding that the person knows, I don’t know when I will be opening again. Just thought it would be easier to make things really clear.

I do feel for you and I am not sure if I can help but from my experience even with contracts specifically saying that you cannot approach clients after you leave, people often do. It’s happened to me before and there wasn’t a great deal I can do. I do think these days, that its very easy for a...

I have found the system fairly easy to use. Haven’t received a payment yet, but it should be coming in the next 6 days. With regard to returning to salon life, I found myself feeling quite down yesterday, sitting in my treatment room on my own. I have spent 10 years building it up and after...

All the pictures and videos I have seen, show perfectly good eyebrows being made to look silly. I haven’t seen any sparse eyebrows being made to look fuller, which is apparently the promise.

Interestingly, my daughter had what I thought was a cold sore recently, but it was impetigo. Glad your client was fine about it. Some people seem to think we don’t want to do the treatment for other reasons, other than we are looking out for them too.
