I don't know about in the UK, but in Australia Mary Kay is more for Ladies who want to be Beauty Therapists but don't have a certificate or diploma. This is of course very annoying for those of us who put a lot of hard work, effort and money into studying the skin and body. I wouldn't recommend...

Yes this does happen all the time in our industry, just recently a friend of mine who is also a beauty therapist went for a job interview for a laser clinic, but the interview was conducted at a lawyers firm:eek: of course, they would be the only ones who could really afford these machines!!! As...

I have been in business for myself since 2007, and it hasn't been easy by any means, trying to juggle personal life (what personal life:)) with family and finding the time and energy to be creative in business, come up with great ideas and keep the clients I have happy as well as dealing with...

Hello everyone :) I have been asked by a local church if I can donate some gift vouchers for a church for Mothers day, they want to fill 150 gift boxes. I need exposure for my business so would like to do it. I must say 150 free treatments is a lot, how do you all answer requests like this, do...

Hello Everyone :) When I worked in a spa environment I was told not to talk, we did manicures and pedicures on the massage tables while the client was laying down, I have been told not to talk about anything personal by a few bosses in the past and now I have my own place I have carried it...

Nothing to bad has happened to me Yet! and I say Yet! But a colleague of mine at the time who is a male beauty therapist, was doing a bikini wax and the lady was wearing disposables and as he pulled the wax off, you guessed it the disposable underwear came off, he was so embarrassed, this was...

I totally relate to your story 100%, I understand when you are starting out you want and need all the clients you can get. I had a lady like this who first kept on coming 30 mins late and I excused it, then she came 45 mins late for a treatment the next week and I told her she would have to...

Hi Hi!:)

:) I know I have benefited from geegs advice here on Salon geek :) Thanks Geeg, appreciate your posts.

The manufacturers of that gold treatment actually e-mailed me a while back trying to sell it to me, apart from it being totally overpriced, it has no benefit on the skin and wouldn't appeal to anyone trying to give serious skin treatments. I am sure it is one of those passing crazes. I know...

According to an unbiased (dermatologist not trying to sell a machine) source the frequency should be 25Khz for an effective ultrasonic peeling device. Hope that helps.:) There are many machines out there, they can be portable, they can also have a different ultrasound head attached which is...

I did reflexology as part of my Beauty therapy course and it took 2 terms 4 nights a week and every saturday. So I would say that no, it is not enough time but it would be good as a refresher course if you studied reflexology previously and haven't practiced it for a while.:)

I think the roller blinds would be the way to go, I had car magnets and I was in a hurry one day and they both flew off (serves me right for going to fast)!!!:eek: I stopped the car in the next side street and went down the street trying to find them! No where to be seen:eek:. I also find in my...

Yes, I use this in my salon, I think its great, especially because it can also be used on even the most sensitive skins, where microdermabrasion can't. These machines also usually have a permeation setting as well where product can be infused into the skin. You have to do a bit of research on...

I would say wear something smart and take your uniform along with you to change should they want to do a treatment test.

I also have a question on the same subject:?:, sometimes you can't always go beyond where the hair is especially when it is your first strip of wax, for example when you are waxing the bikini line, if you go in the direction of the hair growth, sometimes there is no point where the hair stops...

If the hair is sticking up where the eyebrow is supposed to be, so it can't be removed, the only alternative is to fill it in with a brow brush and brow powder in her colour, this will make it look less obvious.

Hi Hun I know exactly how you feel, its difficult when you pay $$$1000's to qualify and then you get less than adequate training!:irked: Firstly your college should let you redo what you are not confident in again at no cost, I would push for this before doing anything else. If this fails the...

I would go with number 2 that one looks great!:)

Thanks everyone for your views.:) I will just keep my distance from her, like i have been doing, I will still be there for her if she needs me, and will most likely attend her party. In response to Teresac she hasn't made a habit of sleeping with people as far as I know, this is why I was a...
