Very hard to pick one treatment to do, so I would do a part time level 2 Beauty Therapy course, which can be done once a week to gain the qualification. Definately the way to go in my opinion!

I definately would be thinking about doing some lash and brow tinting, this is a very quick treatment to learn and is quite inexpensive to get the products in to use, whilst giving you repeat custom. I would also think about doing some massage, or maybe you should ask your clients a little...

I use a couch cover, then I put a flat double sheet over that, it covers down to the floor and contrasts well with the decor. If you have a electric blanket, this is ideal put on top before covering with matching bath towels and then couch roll. Cor its quite alot really, but it is very...

Its high time this country was more prepared for when the snow comes. In the states they have snow centres and the country never seems to come to a stand still. What do you think could be done in your area to help keep businesses running?

I am so glad that this has been brought up and helps all of us geeks out there, not to let our guards down.

When you get it Lynne, can you forward it to me please, as I too am interested. Thanks, Lynda

Thanks for all your good wishes, lets hope it helps with my recovery.

I am going to put my prices up, re-do my brochures, gift vouchers and appointment cards is the first thing on my list. The second is putting my two manager through an NVQ team managers qualification so that they are working to full capacity and managing the rest of the staff. Thirdly...

This is precisely the type of post that annoy people because of the text speak, grammar and spelling mistakes! Even some of the premium geeks have terrible spelling mistakes, its one of my pet hates and I just wish people would just use the english language as it is meant to be! I think it...

I have had lots of training over the years, and the advice out there is a mine field to say the least. After years of dealing with skin, my view is that most skin needs hydration, and this is moisture not oil content. I believe that 'combination skin' is a load of rubbish, if the skin has a...

How do I get a teaching qualification and what does it involve? Can you get this through the guild or do you need to go to your local college?

I have sent many of my therapists on various courses over the years and spent thousands of pounds, I just wish I could train my own staff with my own knowledge and experience although I have no qualifications (in teaching) to do so. Yet in some salons I know, the owners trains their staff...

If the spots are red at the moment, it sounds as though there is some sensitivity going on here. The only thing I would do is apply some calamine lotion on to tone down the redness and not enter into any rough cleansing (as in the exfoliating gloves, as they are for body only). I hope the...

Pour out all old wax into foil, keep the wax heater on low and pour in a small amount of acetone, then get your couch roll and wipe around, this is the very quickest way of removing. Dont use this method on any plastic surfaces though, only on the metal insert and metal heating chamber. Much...

The glittery black is 80! :)

We have had an open evening last week, as I extended my salon to include toning tables. We decorated the salon with christmas decorations, christmas music and had mulled wine, non alcoholic punch with mini mince pies. We had demonstrations on make-up, Shellac, hot stone massage, Thai compress...

If you use the Hive massage candles prior to doing the spray paraffin wax treatment the spray wax goes on much better, but then thats another problem, bringing the candles with you, but I suppose once it is burning and you have enough of the oil, the candle can be blown out. Its supposed to be...

Microdermabrasion, its really deep cleansing and gets all the blackheads out leaving your skin lovely and smooth. Hope this helps:)

The only thing I would like to add is, use I instead of we. As you are the only therapist (I assume), then it looks and sounds :)better!

This practice really should be left to the professionals. We dont like unqualified people meddling in our profession, so why would or should, we be dabbling in this field? I think this is a no go area, and not worth the trouble of trying it!:mad:
