    Just Wax hot wax

    Thank you everyone! I think part of it was maybe not putting enough pressure on the wax, as I have tried putting more pressure on and it seems to work much better with much less breakage. My husband has said I can practice on him, and practice makes perfect! I bought the Just Wax because it was...

    Just Wax hot wax

    Hi, I’ve recently qualified in waxing and having a few problems with my hot wax. I’m currently using the tea tree just wax flexi wax beads (I’m intending on using a better brand once I’ve got more practice) but the wax just doesn’t pull the hairs out? I’ve been playing with different...

    Advertising waxing

    Ok, thanks! I did think they wouldn’t be the best photos but I just wanted to know what other people did. It only occurred to me because that’s what I’m so used to haha

    Advertising waxing

    Hi! I’ve very recently completed a wax course, I’m just curious how you all advertise on Instagram for example? Is it the ‘done thing’ to post before and afters of waxing (with clients permission) for example a leg and an underarm? My existing treatments are all skin based (dermaplaning and...

    Gentle chemical peel

    It’s the exfoliating peel I’ll use, I think it is lemon mandarin and something else (sweet orange?) off the top of my head! Haven’t used it yet but when you buy Charlie locks you can get added to their Facebook group and there’s quite a few people who Dermaplane there who use it already :)

    Gentle chemical peel

    I use an enzyme peel following dermaplaning, the brand I use currently it freihaut but I’m transitioning over to another brand of skincare, Charlie Locks, and they do an exfoliator that is basically an enzyme peel as well that can be used. I don’t often do a proper peel after Dermaplaning as it...

    Dermaplaning query

    The reason I mention insurance by the way is because where I trained my trainer showed me a picture of a lady where the peel had frosted and it caused burns similar to what is shown in the picture, and the trainer said the therapist who did the treatment was lucky the client didnt claim

    Dermaplaning query

    You can dermaplane and peel, but it depends what peel you use and how long you leave it on for, peels are always more intense after a dermaplane. From my limited experience it looks like shes gone too many layers deep with the blade, is the lady who did it experienced in peels? I would've...

    Facial training

    I'm a nurse, I started a skincare and aesthetic clinic and I'm gradually expanding. The next course I do was going to be fillers or mesotherapy, but I've had a few requests for normal facials so want to add that in as well

    Facial training

    Hi, I currently offer dermaplaning and chemical peels from my home treatment room, however business has been slow recently (I've only been going 5 months) I'm thinking of doing a 'basic' facials course so I can offer that as a cheaper alternative to dermaplaning/peels. Do you find facials a good...

    Which brand to stock and sell?

    Hi Everyone, just wondered what brands everyone stocks to sell in their home salons (if you do)? I am planning to have a range of the homecare products for the peel brand I use, but I dont know whether to have something a bit more 'high street' available as well, something like the body shop. I...

    Social media page

    Hi everyone! Just wondering what others do really and what you have found worked for you... I mainly do my advertising and get clients through social media, some of them are ex work colleagues but a couple are just people who have seen my page through others. I see all the time adverts popping...

    Opinions, freckles, melasma or sunspots

    That makes me feel better! I've never really seen melasma, just heard of it, and because it's my own skin I've been looking at its probably becoming more obvious than it actually is! Thanks!

    Hi, opinions please, I'm fairly new to the beauty industry and still working on identifying some of the hyperpigmentation skin conditions (I'm from a nursing background, and we did not deal with pigmentation at all ) currently trying to figure out my own pigment issues! Client in photos is me...

    How to retail Eve Taylor candles?

    I had a look at Eve Taylor, but from what I can see to start to buy retail products to sell you have to first buy one of their packages, the lowest of which costs over £250. I am sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I gathered from the initial email from them. I haven't...

    Dermaplaning with microdermabrasion

    Long story short: Client was doing microdermabrasion, came to me four weeks after her last MD treatment for a dermaplaning treatment (I offer dermaplaning, she gets the MD done elsewhere). Today she told me that two weeks from her last dermaplane she is going to get an MD done, then four weeks...

    CPD and insurance

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at doing a skin peel course, and one of the training places I emailed said that their course was CPD accredited. My question is - does CPD accreditation automatically mean I will get insurance, or is CPD accreditation different to being insurable when you've done the...
