If you get in touch with Ellisons I know they run a body treatments course and you get your body brushes in with the course fee as well. Although I think you may have to have a body massage qualification first but you may already have assumed that!!! HTH x

Hi I currently use Priadara for my facial treatments but although I have products for sensitive, dry, mature, combination and oily skin types, I was wondering what other Priadara Therapists use for normal skin types? I have a normal skin coming up and would be interested to know what other...

It may be a case of poor circulation. I always get it on one toe of each foot and usually 2 fingers on each hand. I've always been told to cover up with socks and slippers or gloves etc when the weather turns cold. My doctor pretty much laughed at me when I went in concerned with it. Very...

Thanks for all your comments and advice!! I put on some tea tree and this morning it already looks a lot better. I shall try and pursuade him to have another go!!! x

My boyfriend (after a lot of persuasion) let me try to wax a part of his back. After one strip he wouldn't have any more and it's a good job as the next day, the bit I had waxed was really pimply even though I made him exfoliate in the shower etc. Does this happen every time to every man? I...

I've had a few clients that have fallen asleep and woken themselves up snoring whilst I have been doing a facial or a massage before...that always makes me feel like I'm good at what I do. I also had somebody who after I had finished their treatment said to me "don't ever change, you've got...

I suffer with quite dark circles under my eyes. I use Cliniques eye gel or Roc eye cream which are both good. However, I have also read that dark circles may be due to problems with the kidneys. The suggested remedy was to drink 2 glasses of cranberry juice a day for 2 weeks to see if that...

I'm just starting to go mobile properly now but I've been training for about 2 years. Like you, I wanted to invest in a skin care range that wasn't too expensive until my clientele is a bit bigger. I use Priadara from Ellisons and I think it's fab. My clients love it too. You have a lot of...

I rang my LA and they told me that I shouldn't really do any piercing as I'm mobile and they can't check the hygiene of every premises I visit. They said I could do it "a few times mobile" but then I said well how many is a few and they basically said we can't really put a number on it!! So...

Hi Recently had a client who asked me advice on a lot of spots which have appeared on her upper back. She said that all of a sudden they appeared and are sometimes painful and usually have a "head". I asked if she had changed her washing powder or shower gel etc but the only thing she can...

I'm mobile and I have quite a few requests for spray tanning. I use Sun Laboratories and have had no complaints (apart from one who some people may remember me ranting on about - fact is I did everything right and she was trying to see if she could get her money back as she didn't have enough...

I used to have yorkshire puddings with peas, carrots, potatoes and branston pickle and tomato sauce...yum!!!

I absolutely love camping!! You can buy those camping cookers which have 2 hobs and a grill underneath (rather than just one hob or those bunsen burner looking thingys) so you could basically take anything that you usually have at home to heat up in a pan on the hob! Scrambled eggs on toast...

Yes, I ALWAYS do a patch test. It really gets my back up sometimes when I hear about salons and other therapists not doing a test - what would they do if somebody had a bad reaction? If a client is insistent on not having a patch test because "oh, it'll be alright" or "I've had it done loads...

We offer facials, makeup, tinting, perming, semi permanent lashes, spray tanning, manicure, pedicure, waxing and massage if they are having a non alcoholic night! I will have to take a trip to the wholesalers and find something that can't be bought on the highstreet. I was just wondering if...

Just wondered if anybody who is mobile uses the opportunity to sell retail products to their clients? If so, what sort of products do you take with you to sell and how often do clients want to buy? Another quick question, me and a friend have started up "Beauty Evenings" and they're becoming...

I had bought one of those in car power invertor thingys at the weekend and I got it home and phoned my cousin (who's an electrician) to ask him if the power was strong enough as I didn't want to blow anything. My convertor was 300 watts and he said for my heater I'd need about 3000w!!!! So back...

I was just wondering if anybody had any tips that they've come up with when wanting to wax somebody (being a mobile therapist). Thing is, I find it a bit time consuming when going to somebody's house and waiting for my machine to heat up - I use a roller waxing spa (Clean & Easy) and although I...

Hello All! Don't know whether this is "copy-cattying" (Because that is such a word dontcha know!) cos have seen other geeks do this but just wondered whether you could check out my website Beauty by Chloe | Let me know of any criticisms or mistakes etc!! Thanks xx :)

Thanks for everyones input...I quite like the idea of mini treatments for parties rather than the standard times. I'll have to figure out a seperate price list and how I'll cut them down. Glad you're all here to help! x
