Thanks so much!

Evening all, A while ago there was a thread about second hand equipment such as caci machines and I’m sure someone said there was a company that specialised in second hand equipment and had excellent customer service. Do any of you recall this and could you please give me the name. Thanks so...

I would also love a copy if possible. Many thanks.

Well I’m old, fat and imperfect I think I was worried because I’ve visited a few training colleges and I’ve been shown around by a few young ladies who are young enough to be my daughter and incredibly glam! And a lot of the other trainees were similar. I saw one last week where the trainer was...

Thank so much for your reply, makes a lot of sense. Think I’m just a bit paranoid as my two youngsters are walking germ factories! Btw, I’ve been reading some of your other posts with interest as I think you have a similar background to me - previously worked in a totally different industry/had...

Any advance on this? Thinking it must be a really obvious / silly question. If anyone can point me in the direction of guidance on websites I’d be grateful. All I can find is around clients. X

Thanks AcidPerm

Dear all, Please be kind - I am not fully trained yet. I was reading with interest the nail hygiene/ sterilisation thread which was talking about protecting clients and yourself which makes perfect sense. My question is if you as the therapist have a skin condition do you still work with...

Thank you - I’ll have a look. X

Me again - taking full advantage of being child free for the day! I’d like some advice on how important you all think product sales are to your business. This was very rushed in my first course but does it account for a large percentage of your income? Also, if I were to set up at home do you...

I love this thread and this is totally the reason I’ve been debating a change for so long. It’s other people’s reaction. They just don’t get it. I also do wonder if there is an element of jealously - in that how many people actually plod on in what they are doing - and hate it! I’m just...

Thanks again for taking the time to reply and it’s is really kind of you to share so much information. I’m sure with the Xmas period coming up you’ll be rushed off your feet even if this month has been quiet. And it’s a good point about being flexible as if I’m able to work from home that would...

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and this is so helpful. It gives me a real idea of potential income if I’m good and also services without a huge initlal outlay. Also you must be great to be doing so well even with two salons near by! I suspect you didn’t lose your skills whilst not...

Hi Rosie, Thanks for taking the time to reply and the considerations you mention are very useful. To date, I’ve not had any ongoing long term health issues - fingers crossed this continues! The holiday time is a good one to flag given the school holidays - I’ll have to see if my mum could...

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply AcidPerm. I think you are right in your response and hit the nail on the head in that those judging are not successfully self employed and are also v risk adverse. I also think my confidence is a bit lower than normal because I’ve been in a mat...

Beauty!

Evening, and apologies for what will be a long email. I’m early 40s with a young family and currently on mat leave. I work in a very different industry and have a stable job with a reasonable salary. However I have an overwhelming desire to work for myself. When I had my first child I did my...
