    I'm pregnant :) Oh, and advice wanted, lol!

    Anyone know anything about this? A guy on my degree course mentioned it yesterday, he said it was the biggest Holistic show in the country. But was otherwise rather vague :green: Anyone going?

    Pedicures...to soak or not to soak?

    Right, I'll try to explain as best as I can :) In the beauty room at our centre, there's a lovely bed that converts into a chair, the head and feet goes up and down...if you know what I mean, lol. We have a pedicure station that holds a foot spa and with a foot rest attached, but we are...

    Brazilian Waxer needed in Liverpool/Warrington area

    Desperately need someone who offers Brazilian waxing nearby! I know of a few salons that offer it nearby, but seeing as none of my clients in this area have ever had to fill in a consultation card, I am VERY reluctant to take my chances! I figure I stand a better chance of getting a great, safe...

    Post-Fake Tan Moisturiser

    Hi all :) Have just started to have regular fake bake tans and am supposed to use an Oil free moisturiser to prolong the tan, but can't seem to find any apart from St Ives H2O, which I can only get sometimes. Anyone have any suggestions? The more cheap and cheerful, the better!

    My first nightmare client!

    Well, not really a client really, lol. First, a bit of background... The Health Centre I work at has recently opened at the new premises, where beforehand there was a beauty salon. We've had quite a few people turn up for their appointments, only to find out that the appointments have been made...

    Hey all, I'm a qualified waxer who has been getting quite a few requests for brazilians, hollywoods and the odd 'back, sack and crack'. Do any of you do this sort of treatment? Where did you attend your course? How much did it cost, and would you recommend? Thanks in advance geeks! Nic x

    Hey everyone, I've finally found the method of french polishing that works for me, and thats to do it freehand, quickly, then tidy with a small brush and nail varnish remover.

    Treatment from hell yesterday, client came in for me to practise manual tanning on and brought her screaming 10 month old into the treatment room! He was crawling around and screaming himself purple, whilst I was doing a merry jig trying to get the tan on without flattening her son in the...

    To tint or not to tint?

    Hi all :) The centre that I work in has just moved premises, and there used to be a Salon here before us. I've had a lot of clients coming in for brow waxes and tints not realising that we aren't the same salon. This is great because it means new clients for us, but they don't realise that...

    hey all, I work in a holistic therapy centre and waxing has never been popular, but the past couple of weeks there has been a sudden influx of people wanting to be waxed :) I am a qualified waxer, but need a bit of a refresher on how long to book waxing appointments for. How long do you...

    Bartering services?!

    Wouldn't it be great if we could barter our services for things that we need?! It came to me in a flash of inspiration last night as I was trying to sleep (cheese before bed, don't do it). If say, a beauty therapist could offer a treatment e.g. a tan, a facial, make up or whatever in exchange...

Big night out tomorrow, and working at the Salon 6 days a week means my hair resembles a birds nest, with no time to have it cut! Is anyone free tonight or tomorrow for a cut and blow? My regular salon is booked :(

    Chair for pedicures?

    Hi all, We're just updating the furniture at the Salon I work at, and we are having real trouble finding a chair without castors on it for clients to sit on during a pedicure. We have a pedicure station, and a seat for me, but not for the client! It needs to be comfortable, have a back rest...
