Thanks again.... Your thoughts are more or less along the lines of what I was thinking. I wasn't sold the wrong products, they were sent to me by a rep and I used them over the course of a month. I did like them but I felt that they didn't agree with my skin. What is the body care range...

The Dermalogica opening account sounds expensive at the start when you first open, as it did to me, but I think it is really worth it. I can definitely say that I get clients coming in to my shop because of the Dermalogica brand and displays who may not have come in otherwise. I think Eve...

Hi All, Hope everyone had a good Xmas and New Year.:) I am looking for help or ideas on how to get my existing and new clients booking in with my newly trained therapist. She qualified at NVQ2 level last July and has been qualified in a wide range of treatments since. She is now doing NVQ3...

My advice would be not to offer discounts but to offer 'promotions' e.g. with every leg wax get a free eye brow trim or with every facial get a free file and polish etc. In my experience you'll find that with discount promotions i.e. 25% off, people will only get narked when they have to...
