    Are there any older estheticians out there?

    I’m 42 trained when I was 17! I would presume that by a certain age we don’t want to be on the low wage that salons pay. So we end up working for ourselves so we earn more. So it’s the young ones that you see on the high st. I still love doing beauty. X

    Charging more for the larger lady

    Fake bake will want you to use more so you buy more! Take the advice of these ladies that have been doing this for a while. It will be swings and roundabouts same with waxing small and large bodies. You don’t need to use 100ml honestly.

    Refectocil blonde brow

    Hi always pop a bit of grey tint into my brown to take the orange out of it. So use a natural brown with a little grey if you don't want too dark. Or if you want darker, a dark brown with grey? Like you did, just leave it on for a min and build up slowly then next time you will know what you...

    Berodin wax

    Hi I've used it for years and years! I love it and it's great for Intimate waxing. The white quick setting stuff is fab to add to the blue to help it set a bit quicker when bodies are warm in hot weather. X

    Home vs salon?

    I love the flexibility of my home salon! It has worked perfectly around my kids husband dog house work! I know someone who went from a salon with staff to just her and she wonders why she didn't do it years ago!! Your clients will follow you, mine have from going Mobile to home. Good luck I...

    To uniform or not to uniform?

    When I was mobile I always wore uniform. But when I set up from home, I decided I'd just dress smartly/appropriately. Hair always tidy make up done.

    New wax, lost confidence

    Hi I use Berodin (was Berins) wax! They have a jet set version that I add a little to my regular hot wax which helps it set quicker in hot weather! It's a great wax to work with. X

    Experienced tanners need only reply please. Tanning soap/gel/moisturiser bible wanted

    I just say shower scrub and shave/wax the day before! If poss do nothing to your skin on the day of the tan. As most soaps have moisturiser in these days. You can still wash your essential bits without a shower if need be. :-)

    Kids and going out for dinner-not again!

    I feel for you! My son never used to sit still! My daughter was a bit better! But by then I had learnt to only go to places where it didn't matter if they sat still or not. Like a hungry horse or something! If they want to go play on the slide fine!! Save the lush places for you and hubby for...

    Is age just a number?

    I honestly think age isn't a problem in some respects it's a bonus, I would assume that you would be more reliable as perhaps you have more responsibilitys. The only thing with younger employers perhaps is that they are maybe more easily moulded into what an employer wants. If you don't get this...

    What services do you offer that are constant?

    I trained in beauty at college years ago, but have done further waxing courses and others. But waxing is my constant. I did extra training with Kim Lawless! A close second is Shellac. Training is with CND. www.cloverretreat.co.uk Sent from my iPhone using SalonGeek
