I've used it for over a year now, I did have the Ellisons training, but so long as you allow the machine to heat up for at least 20 minutes on 10, then turn down to 7 or 8 then it's fine. And yes, the tea tree wax is very thick, stick to the honey wax.

Hi, has anyone got this in their salon, or used it (as a therapist). We're thinking about getting it and want honest therapist and salon owner evaluation, rather than the "sales talk" from the Guinot people. Thanx

Hi, there seems to be conflicting info (college tutor and books etc) so thought you guys may be able to help. I've read that for galvanic (not blend, just pure galvanic) electrolysis you shouldn't use an insulated needle - is that right, my tutor said it's OK to use, but the books say...

I've just started working in a salon and the owner's suggested that the client not go figure of four, but just "roll" leg outwards, but still lying flat so that I do the outside of the hair, then client can help stretch her pubic mound area over and you can do the bit next to pubic mound, then...

Minky and Andy - thanx for your comments, lots to think about, as I'm so busy I'd just be washing and leaving it wavy, so think Minky might be right, I'm seeing my hairdresser in couple weeks so I'll ask her about it all. Like the idea of more volume and like that the solution can be gell so...

thanx for that, I may think about extensions, but at the moment am more interested in hearing about wave perms and root perms if anyone's any advice please. Cheers though. x

I have thin, fine shoulder length hair in a bob, and it's got no volume at all (I have to wash it and put rollers in every day to get any volume and then it drops out no matter what products I use), I'm thinking of having an acid body wave perm, would this give it body, and can I then have the...

I've just done a one day course, but they didn't explain anything about diagnosing the contents of the candles, just that they could be opened. Does anyone have any tips on how to diagnose the contents please.

Please can anyone advise me what massage medium to use when doing a facila on an oily skin, my friend's going to have a facial with me for one of my assessments and I've thought that maybe I shouldn't use oil, we have a massage cream in college, but that has some oil in, is that better?? thanx.

I take them down as a precaution, as was said earlier in case of emerg, but also could be useful as a double check, eg: if you need a doctors letter and the client brings one in, you can check that it's from the correct people?? All the cards I've see in and out of college and in different...

thanx Mrs Clooney, I do rub the strip a few times each time, so if I only rub it once well, that'll speed things up. Thanx, that's exactly the tips I need. I started my course in September, so have only been training for three months, but we finished waxing about 5 weeks ago and won't be...
