Oh it definitely goes deeper, no one is going to argue otherwise, but probably the only industry that gets propositioned at work more than Beauty is exotic dancers.

I know how to deal with the enquiries and protect myself. What I'm saying is, as an industry, we should be doing something about it. All the CCTV, deposits, only booking male massage for partners of female clients .... it doesn't stop creeps from asking. Like it or not - to pervs on the...

I don't think advertising personal close contact services for women only is discriminatory as it's a safeguarding issue for both clients and the therapist. While 'extras' may be legal and lucrative for the "massage parlours" that thrive on it - why should respectable, professional therapists...

I have male clients - ones that I know and trust - so I wouldn't want to run them off. It's just so sad that, in the 21st century, we have to work like this :'(

I made a meme and have shared in in a couple of Facebook groups, it doesn't apply to you as you're not doing massage but I could change it and post it here so people can save it and share on social media?

Yes, I've got all that sorted but it still doesn't change that guys will still ask - is there anything we can do to raise awareness and change attitudes?

I'm in Scotland and we've spent that last 10 months getting my beauty cabin up and running. Often, you don't need planning permission for the cabin/summerhouse build - 90% of the time it will come under permitted development, but you will need to contact your local authority planning department...

Yesterday I had another enquiry from a male asking if I did 'extras'. It's not the first time and, unfortunately, it won't be the last - it's all too common for my tastes and I'm incredibly lucky that I've managed to flush out prospective pervs during the enquiry process and not had to challenge...

Most appointment apps work on desktop computers and tablets/phones. You set it up with a username and password so you can use it on any device that you install the app on.

Interesting, I didn't know that about PayPal. I've never heard of Starling Bank before and with both of you mentioning it I just had a look - amazing that their business account is free, but I'm so fussy with my banking - I like everything to be in one place so I've got more thinking to do...

Thanks. Can you print off statements from your Paypal account for doing your books/taxes? I've already checked that most of the wholesalers I use can take online orders via paypal. I think Paypal would be less pressure? I feel banks are always trying to sell you something :confused:

I've been mobile for years, clients have always paid in mostly cash (very occasionally through paypal/bank transfer), never felt the need for a separate business bank account but I'm changing to a static location (Garden Room) and want to switch to mainly accepting card payments due to Covid-19...

Okay, I've finally convinced my husband to consider me having a garden room after showing him the costs for having my own shop - can any of you tell me if it's worked out well for you? I'm mobile, have been for 3 years, but I'm not getting any younger and I'd like to put down roots rather than...

I'm a mobile therapist and I have this one client who has booked online twice before but cancelled at the last minute, but she had booked in for waxing this morning and I expected a cancellation but prepared just in case. Spend 20 mins driving over, unpack all my gear from the car and chap her...

I set up mobile, never worked in a salon, and it's great for fitting around your schedule. I have a FB page and advertise in local groups, take part in local holistic fayres and donate gift vouchers for local raffles and such. I have a lot of regular clients and when I returned to college to do...

Sketchers Go Walk. I have Achilles tendinopathy and they're they only shoes that don't feel like the bones in my ankles are grinding together.

Thank you so much xx

Hi, I've created a survey to find out what most people want out of a spa break - I'd appreciate if you lovely people could take part by clicking the link below, it only takes 2 mins to complete and it's market research for a business plan. >>Spa Day Market research Survey<< If an admin feels...

I decided to train as a beauty therapist at 40, until that point I'd been plugging away in retail. I think my life experience has made me a better therapist.

:eek: That's soooo expensive. You can check out myworldofwork.co.uk and see what's on offer near you - you might need to across the Forth for it mind you :confused:
