    Lateral flow tests?

    I've been testing twice per week since coming back to work as my dad's in the high risk category and even though he's had both of his injections I still wouldn't feel right seeing him after being in the salon as for some treatments my clients have to remove their masks. I suppose it would be...

    Dermaplaning

    I've recently started doing microneedling and got in touch with my local council regarding safe disposal and they just sent a form to complete asking how often I wanted a collection made. It's just over £16 per collection and you can have as many collections as you wish. As I don't know how busy...

    Lash lift patch test

    I understand that if a product touches the skin then it may cause an allergic reaction and would never carry out a tint without patch testing first as the tint may touch the skin but with a lash lift the product should never touch the clients skin, only the hair, which is dead (you're not...

    Lash lift patch test

    I've always been of the understanding that you don't need to patch test with lash lift as the product never actually touches the skin. I've just checked on professional beauty and this is also what they are saying. The only thing you could patch test for if you've got a particularly sensitive...

    Urgent visor face mask advice needed

    I've been dreading going back to work as I've always had migraines but on returning last summer they got so bad that my doctor recommended going on preventative medication because of the amount of painkillers I was taking. As it is, whilst we've not been able to work I haven't had one. I think...

    Which facial brand, Eve Taylor and/or Clinicare?

    I've used Eve Taylor for over 9 years at my home based salon. Lovely products, no large initial outlay. I've seen really good results with their products and they've introduced a free online education site during covid which has been great for topping up your knowledge. I'm also on their closed...

    Best skin care brand for facials

    I use Eve Taylor and have done in my garden based salon for the last 9/10 years. Fantastic skincare range and has been really supportive especially over this last year. Suitable for all skin types and really good training. I'd take a look. Good luck

    Letter from ICO data protection

    I've just been on live chat with them and got connected straight away so might be an option for you rather than trying to call. I told them exactly what information I'll be gathering and how it will be used and he advised what I should do. There is a section for beauty therapists when you...

    Letter from ICO data protection

    I've just checked and I'm not sure as my records are kept on cards but I do have clients email addresses but only send emails about once per month and it's only something I've started doing whilst we've been off because I can't see them. Doubt I'll continue once we go back to work so would you...

    Behind closed door appointments, how to deal with the requests!

    I was put in a similar situation the first lockdown. Had a lady wanting her toenails painting. Not even a full pedicure. She must have asked a dozen times and her reasoning was that her chiropodist was allowed to stay open so why couldn't I so i did understand where she was coming from but rules...

    Which skincare range for facials?

    I'm also a home based salon. Once you register with Eve Taylor to use their products you can access the marketing and professional areas of their site and this gives you access to their online training for all skincare and body products. There's also a section for recommended facials with videos...

    Behind closed door appointments, how to deal with the requests!

    A friend of mine got asked to work and was told by the client that she wouldn't tell anyone about it but that she was desperate for her waxing as her husband had been working away and was due home any day. She basically begged her to work and said she'd make it worth her while if she did her...

    Anyone else almost done with this industry? Thanks Covid

    I've been on here for a long time but I don't often comment but love reading what everyone has to say and have picked up some great tips over the years but this thread really touched me on many levels. I've been feeling confused and down like many others during this last lockdown. The first...

    Pricing for the ultimate facial

    I love doing facials but as has already been said I think there's too much going on with the 'ultimate' facial you're wanting to offer. I have an express facial which is a 30 minute introductory treatment and a 50 minute hands on facial but then I have 'add ons' which are all of the extra facial...

    Anyone else almost done with this industry? Thanks Covid

    In a strange way it's quite reassuring to realise I'm not the only one feeling this way. It's hard to keep feeling positive when all you see is adverts for 'do it yourself kits ' making it look like our years of training and expertise are worth nothing when you can just as easily do it yourself...

    Indian head massage advice

    Like everyone else I have adapted my Indian head massage as i found most of my clients didn't like being sat up. I have my clients lying face up but not completely flat with knees supported and massage face,shoulders, neck,scalp and shoulders. I now call it a shoulder,neck and scalp massage on...

    Lockdown 2.0

    I've already got bookings in from 2nd December up until Christmas so I'm leaving these as they are but just not booking anymore in. Everyone who has to cancel in the next month I've just told I'll work all hours i can to fit them in once we have a definite date but for some of them it's just a...
