Thank you, I will try this x

I have a client who has bad back issues. She comes to me for a half leg which takes a while as she can’t lie still for very long. Doing the front of her legs is fine as we have hydraulic couches so she practically sits up, but she’s in pain when I have her turn over for the backs of her legs as...

Thank you so much

Yes, I’ll be doing my nails at the weekend anyway and I’ll make sure my hair is up and tidy. Thank you x

Thank you x

Hi, I’m newly qualified and have my first interview next week as a spa therapist and don’t know what to wear. Usually I’d wear a smart outfit (I.e. skirt and smart top/blouse) but as part of the interview I will be doing a massage so I’d be more comfortable in a tunic as it gives me more...

Thank you. I tend to use blue sky, I have quite a few brands but keep going back to this one. I have seen the CND Clearly Pink, do you recommend that? I wasn’t sure if it would be sheer enough. She has checked with her uni and clear gel is fine but she’s not allowed extensions or colour.

I’ve had mine for around a year and love it. I didn’t find it painful when they put it in, more uncomfortable, I’d say it was on par with a smear test. It does make my periods more painful and heavy. I wouldn’t recommend it if you have bad periods. It does make everything regular though, I never...

Hi, I’m a newly qualified beauty therapist and am currently also training as a nail tech. I’ve had a lady contact me for a gel manicure but she’s a student nurse and is not allowed colour on her nails. Can you get a clear gel polish? If so would I do the normal base, 2 coats of polish and then...

Don’t feel like you’re letting anyone down. Everyone has to start somewhere. I’m a mobile therapist, only started in the new year. Some weeks I’m busy every day, other weeks (last week for example) I had one eyebrow wax and that’s it! Everyone I’ve spoken to says it takes time to build up a...

That’s great advice, thank you. I have mine the highest it’ll go at the moment, I’m quite tall so this helps my back. I had her lay on her sofa today but she wasn’t very comfortable, she has already rebooked for in 5 weeks time so will hopefully become a regularly client xx

Thank you. I was thinking of doing that.

Hiya, I’m currently a mobile therapist and have had a booking for an eyebrow wax and tint. When I went to do her patch test I saw that she was a very large lady, my bed says it holds max. 35 stones but I’m worried that it may be an exaggeration. Am I being too cautious? I don’t want to be rude...

Thanks for replying. I don’t have a social life anyway so that wouldn’t bother me lol, if I get to leave the house, even for work, I see it as a bonus haha x

Thanks. It’s the equipment that puts me off too. I’ve been hunting for a lightweight bed but I have a lady I go to in particular (who I think may turn out to be one of my best clients as she wants everything I offer) who is quite large so I need something sturdy. I’d love to be able to offer...

I think pamper parties are great, I’ve been thinking of doing that. Thanks for replying, by the looks of it mobile is the way forward for me too x

Thanks for replying. I don’t do massage yet but will be training in it. I’m hoping that takes off as I really enjoy doing facials so I think massage would be right up my street. I’m just not getting anywhere at the moment as I’m having to buy all my set up, a lot of it should last a while though...

Thanks for replying. I’m not trained in tanning but will be doing my level 3 between my own work so I will be able to offer it soon. I’m in a very fortunate position at the moment as my husband earns enough to not rely on a joint income but I’d love to have my own money coming in. I’ve got a...

Hi, I am almost finished with my training as a level 2 beauty therapist and looking for advice about where to go from here. Ideally I’d love to work in a salon for a few years to build up my confidence and client base, but I have 3 young children (5, 3 & 8 months) and I’m worried that I’ll...
