Hi there, I broke my wrist on 21st December last year and I started work tentatively 3 months later a week before we had to lockdown. If I’m totally honest it has taken nearly a year to get back to almost normal. I have had to adapt the way I do certain treatments and will have to learn to live...

I’m exactly the same, I was getting very low about it😔as you say I think we need to try and ride the storm and pray things get better sooner rather than later x

Me too...I’m so quiet it’s worrying. Clients too scared, less money, no where to go to look glam for... I doubt our Christmas business will pick up with the rates rising either😔x

Me too, it’s really bad😔

Always back first so the client is not laying face down after having had a facial with beautiful products!

Hi, I have a home beauty salon and charge a standard £2 per visit which so far no one has complained about.

Yep me too - first 2 weeks nice and busy, now absolutely dead 😔had to cancel 18 clients last week due to no faces and left with 5 x

I’m very much quieter too 😔x

Hi Hun, I’m in a similar position in that I’m 53, have been a Therapist for 30+ years, now work from home and need to wear glasses and use a mag lamp for close up work. It IS a nightmare - my daughter is an ICU Dr so I asked her advice on this as usually I’d take them on and off to do different...

Report her! I reported a clothes shop that was open throughout lockdown x

I am a beauty therapist and when I found out I couldn’t re open, messaged all my clients to explain the situation and letting those who had ‘provisionally’ booked in know that I would prioritise them when I was allowed to start. I made it very clear to everyone that was not opening due to...

Hiya, and you’re only a little way into your career bless you! I’ve been a beauty therapist for over 30 years and have had both shoulders operated on, regular steroid injections in my right wrist and broke my left at Christmas!! Doing the job we do really takes it’s toll and if you’re already...

Hello there, I’m a Beauty Therapist now working from 1 room at home and feel exactly the same as you do. The more I do the online sanitisation courses and read everything we need to do, the more worried I’m getting! We seem to be considered the same as hairdressers and we’re SO different in that...

Hello YHannah27, I’m a Beauty Therapist and also broke my wrist just before Christmas it’s been a nightmare tbh - I had wires put in it on Jan 2nd and then managed a few clients the week before lockdown just to see how it felt but then had to close. It has taken a lot longer thanI thought to...

I’ve just had a client book ‘tentatively’ for July 6th so I explained what my procedures would be in order to be able to treat her ie: both to wear masks, me a visor and apron etc .., plus all the extra sanitising... she agreed to it but said it was ridiculous! I just replied that it was...

...and I’ve just seen on the NHBF website that there are massive fines in place for people who break the law! £100 for a one off and £3200 for repeat reports of black market hair/beauty work...

It’s absolutely awful! I’ve just had a client text to say they’d just had a hair cut! (I’m a beauty therapist so that bit doesn’t bother me), but I asked....how? Apparently they’d done one of the online Covid aware courses and the federation of hair and beauty has given them permission to go...

I agree - ur would not be professional of us to return to work anyway if we can’t keep our clients or ourselves safe anyway. I think salons will open however which then puts us in an incredibly difficult position. My daughter is an Intensive care Doctor in London and is sure there will be a 2nd...

I sadly broke my wrist just before Christmas and found I wasn’t covered by my insurance! I had to take 3 months off, then did a trial week to gently start back and had to close the following week due to Covid nightmare!!

Enchanting Beauty... I completely agree - like you I use towels and blankets for facial and massage treatments... but think these things will prove too difficult to do with all the restrictions and PPE. I know many people wear gloves for facials, but it’s something I’ve never done as the power...
