    Which route did you take into beauty?

    Hi - I started beauty at 24 (11 yrs ago !!!) so had to work at the same time as study. I did an NVQ 2 in beauty therapy on Saturdays for a year and a half then did a full time course for the level 3 which was 4 days a week for a further year and I worked in a health club 2 days a week until I...

    Eve Taylor - pregnancy

    Hi girlies, Does anyone who uses Eve Taylor products avoid the face oils in pregnant clients. I have spoken to the team at Eve Taylor who assured me it was fine to use all the facial range especially the soothing range and face oil 1 but on the bottle of the face oils it says speak to a...

    I got one from Healthline on ebay for 70 though it was worth about 400. Though my one doesn't sit up - there are loads on ebay though so have a look before you buy a brand new one. Good luck

    Eve Taylor

    Hi can anyone give me any feed back on Eve Taylor? I think it seems to be mainly used by mobile therapists ( which I am at the moment ) probably due to reasonable prices and no min order - but if I take on treatment room is it the sort of brand that will transcend into that sort of environment...

    Looking to start mobile

    Oh sorry hun, wasn't intended that way - misunderstanding! Thought you were keen to get into a job like now - thought you weren't intending on doing level 3 - take it all back! Pushing the nail or waxing biz was because I thought you weren't going to train in massage etc. I certainly didn't...

    Looking to start mobile

    Would you absolutely not consider doing your level 3? You really need to be very motivated being mobile and you need to keep up with training all the time (even after level 3) as you don't want to fall behind salons and spa's. I know you really don't want to hear it but if Beauty Therapy is...

    Salary of a Beauty Therapist

    Hi just to add to what alot of geeks have said already - working for yourself really does seem to be the only way of really making any money. When I worked in a health club i slowly began to resent the fact that I could go it alone and make so much more than just be paid 30% commission with no...

    Jessica or OPI

    Environ - Vit A/Retinol

    I'm interested in the Environ Range but a little scared off by all the glycolic acids, high levels of Vit a and c, retinol etc as I always thought it thinned the skin.... After working with Elemis it seems very scientific and although it appears to give great results - I wouldn't want it all...

    Environ

    I have had a look on the Environ website and yep the products make alot of sense - I was a bit worried by the Vitamin A Acid that was mentioned? Could this have any effects later on ? I haven't heard a bad word yet about this range? Who distributes it in the UK? Does anyone know the start-up...

    academie

    DO you have to stick with their routine - no I know - I live in Kent so I'm not sure about the training either on a personal level.

    academie

    I absolutely lurve the products, skin felt wonderful after using testers......I didn't find the info that helpful though, it seemed to be all adverts? Scared of the no support thing with academie! Training time I would say is prob too short for the amount they have?
