    Gentle chemical peel

    No sorry I do not offer Dermaplanning. I have used it with Microcurrent which has a good effect and sells well as a course. I do the peel first. I am only using this brand at the moment for peels.

    My table broke mid treatment

    I found a website that sells refurbished physiotherapy tables called Trimbio, that have several medical brands. They can take 23 stone, Ideal for my needs. Really cheap compared to what I was going to pay for my next static. Averaging £500, all electric.

    My table broke mid treatment

    I wasnt sure how to handle the situation. My massage client is a heavy gentleman, who on turning over mid massage, the way he banked his body over the table snapped underneath him. I made sure he was ok first. Then apologies to him. But as far as I was concerned treatment is over. I not...

    Male Brazilians

    Yes, I have clients who leak. Erections are normal as we working in the area, most will go down after the first or second wax strip is removed. But I do have the odd client who maintains all through treatment. Hes not a perv just highly sensitive. All I have done, is just ignored it, I...

    Dodgy enquiries for massage

    Its definitely the entitled male attitude. I had more than a handful when I started out by myself but since I established a while now it's rare. When it has occurred I circulated the persons numbers to every therapist in my area with cctv pic, I not sure where I stand legally with that...

    Dodgy enquiries for massage

    80% of my massage clients are male, and have zero issues with them at all. I have experience of perverts by phone, text and in person. So the phone stuff is quite easy to deal with. I just do not engage with them on their level, if they ask for extra, yes I can offer hot stones, infrared...

    Lighting while massaging

    Facial bowls?

    Hav a look online at Ellisons. You can join as a student. They sell mitts, bowls and everything you need. For home use maybe not now but when your further into your training invest in a copper bowl. It will hold the temperature of the water keeping it hot, for your facial clients.

    Home therapy room & Covid

    It's so confusing isn't it. I looking for same answer as I in Manchester and expecting tier 3 by weekend. Boris said that Hairdressers and Beauty Therapists would close like pubs, but I can't find that info on all the tier 3 rules. So I really don't know if we close or can remain working. My...

    SumUp/iZettle pros and cons

    I use Izettle, I have no experience with any other card reader. I like Izettle, it takes a percentage per transaction (for every £100 I take I receive £97.70) but the more you accept by cc or debit on it the amount they take reduces. It takes 48 hours for me to receive the money in my bank...

    Back wax

    Yes the backpack and sweating straight after a wax and then maybe sun ontop of that. I.d ask for a picture of his back and the spots, wondering if it's the small red bumps some get straight after a wax that usually go down within 24 hours and maybe they didn't go down, or he's got sweat in his...

    I have a salon at home in a spare large bedroom. I always did ok before COVID and right now I am doing exactly the same. Clients ar actually very comfortable coming to my home for treatments as I live alone so they feel safer. I keep the windows open in the treatment room and bathroom 24/7 so...

    High frequency

    You will definitely need the training to get insured. It will also teach you both Direct and In Direc methods of application, which they can't do both at home by themselves. Yes they can do 1, but they don't actually really know all the anatomy behind the treatment so people give themselves a...
