    Dermaplaning

    Sometimes you can dry the skin out too much with an IPA prep if that's what your using. Especially if the skins already dry and dehydrated. Will make it more difficult for the blade to slide over the skin, even if you have good skin tension. Try doing a deep cleanse first. It sounds counter...

    Get yourself a wee Blacks file. You can get them on Amazon or eBay for a couple of quid. Double ended. Blacks file one side and an excavator on the other. We use them for Podiatry treatments, for ingrown nails and clearing callous out of the sulcus. If you're concerned about post treatment...

    Comparison between two laser machines

    Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with either of these machines, but; Depending on what wavelengths they are, will determine what categories they are in e.g. class 1 - 4 with any sub-categories. As you'll be learning different categories require different rules, risk assessments and local rules to be...

    Self Employed Contract

    Just don't pay. Then they'll terminate.... But check to make sure they don't say if they terminate they will charge you so many months. If there's nothing in writing then you'll just have to mutually agree it between you. If they want to be a D**k about it. Then thy can take you to a small...

    Disheartened about very few clients

    I empathise with you. Because in this day and age we have such a saturated market full of good and bad therapists. Also every 10 yards there's a new shop that opens up every month. This isn't good because clients get to dictate prices and waste a lot of time for therapists. The one piece of...

    Waxing graze

    Retinol is the chemical name for vitamin A, a much milder form of a specialist medication Acutane/Isotretinoin. Yet can have a lot of the same affects. I would make sure that she had ceased use within at least 6 months before attempting to wax. Even with Retionol/Vitamin A. Make sure she signs a...

    Male Brazilians

    Sometimes it can be a reflex action..... I just ignore it, and they usually apologise. It's no big deal, so long as they don't try anything on.... Yes I get that all the time as well. Uffffft..... The stories I could tell lol.... I've had guys ask me if I didn't get aroused before now.... I'm...

    Beauty salon

    Best thing is to just get stuck in. You're client isn't going to know what massage moves or products go when and where. You'll very soon pick it back up, and even make some moves up yourself. You can't go wrong really. Just do your usual cleanse, tone, moisturise with masks and other specialist...

    RF cavitation machines

    Hi Karen this is for an RF / Cavitation machine. NOT Lazer. Also Technically there are no qualification requirements for operating a Lazer. However, you might want to get one, as I do recommend getting insurance. You'd find it hard to get insurance without qualification or at least a training...

    I love the fact that I can make a positive impact on people's lives from all over the world. Even when I'm not physically teaching face-to-face or on zoom classes. My students can still be studying to gain more skills and make their lives better.

    Help with beauty business name

    I would definitely go with your own name. I've had a few businesses all with fancy names, but you want your clients to remember you. I think a lot of people are afraid of putting their names on something. I felt like a charlatan and had that imposter syndrome for years even though I have NVQ's...

    Bleach and levels of peroxide!

    The lower the concentration percentage/vols you use, the less likely you are to make a mistake. Yes, it takes longer, but you will have more control and more time to control and get it off than you would with 12% if you need to in a hurry.

    Flaky skin on face

    Try some coconut and olive oil. You'll need just a tiny bit. It soaks in straight away and doesn't leave an oily feel if applied in the right amount. It also doesn't encourage puffy skin around the eyes to develop. You'll only need to apply it a couple of times a week as well.

    Self employment

    Know your worth and potential. Some people just take the P**S out of others because they let them walk all over them. Don't let them walk all over you! Once you know your true worth your attitude will change, and so will theirs. You need to do what is right for you. At the end of the day, you're...

    Microblading numbing

    The only legal numbing creams are Emla and Ametop. They work differently. Ones an ester and the other an amide. You get more reactions with Ametop because it breaks down to PABA which in some people causes allergic reactions. Creams are ONLY applied pre treatment for minimum of 1 hours maximum...
