    Hot stones mobile therapy

    I take a large food/drinks flask and place a load of my stones in it full of boiling water to travel in. I then ask the client if i can have boiled kettle water to fill my tank up so its quicker to heat them up whilst there. For transportating i use a large flask so i have some hot stones to use...

I recently visited another centre (a new place just opened) although the place was out of this world, there was something quite not right about it, i couldn't put my finger on it but...

    Rosacea - Can't even have trust in Dermatologist

    To tell you the truth, I have exactly the same type of skin as well as a dust allergy to go with it. No matter what I have tried over the years i.e. E45 has been no good, it just burns! I have used simple and cheap Nivea for the past three years and my skin has never looked so good, I'm 36! I...

    Have I done the right thing?

    Thank you so much everyone. You are right about how OTT it sounded. Thats because I was totally sick of the calls yesterday, drove me insane, so much so I totally let the phone ring off all day. I have adjusted the wording now by adding some of your ideas, you could tell i was on one...

    Have I done the right thing?

    Lately, I have been getting really down with answering my business phone number. I'm a massage therapist and yep sadly living in Blackpool and being a Massage Therapist is easily putting two and two together. Ive had loads of phone calls these past few days after 'that' sort of massage, or can...

    renting a room in a centre/clinic

    I spoke to them at the centre today for you emeralds. They said they could probably do some sort of deal. I said it doesnt make good money sense for a beauty therapist as they dont charge alot for little things ie.e eyebrow tints etc and wouldnt be worth it if you went all the way to the centre...

    renting a room in a centre/clinic

    I was just wondering. Alot of us rent rooms here and there to run our businesses. With the fees you pay to the actual proprietor: what do you get for your money? Do they help promote you? Do they list you on a website? If you are not there on a daily basis do they keep you informed on whats...

    Chasing Clients?

    I'm one of them that wouldnt chase up a client if they phoned to cancel. Sometimes you can feel a little under pressure to re-book so the kind thing to do is just go through the motions of putting a day and time to another booking just to be polite. I think i would feel much better cancelling...

    views on renting fully furnished salon

    That sounds pretty good to include all bills. However, can you afford it out of your own money incase you only get two clients through the door now and again? And would you want all the responsibility? consider what the market is for the area and see if the salon owner is cutting her losses...

    To sell or not to sell

    When a business becomes a noose around a persons neck due to financial circumstances sometimes it is best to cut losses. If you have tried everything and are still feeling this way then for a huge peace of mind i would consider letting it go. Money is a major issue, when it starts to reach home...
