The hairdressers down the road from us have had 5 spot checks from the council, one time the person tried to come in without a mask and they stopped them saying you need to wear one, the person said I don't have one, so they gave one to them. They then said its lucky they did that as it would...

Turnover is the total amount of money you take before any deductions. If the client brought the hair independently and just paid for you to fit them, then that would bring your turn over down but if you buy the hair extensions and its included in the the price, its that whole amount that is...

PJS beauty equipment is suppose to be good and their equipment is very reasonably priced. I havent used them but another therapist at the clinic has and was pleased and other therapist's on here have mentioned them. Have a look. Microdermabrasion is very popular at the moment, so a good machine...

I used a crystal microdermabrasion machine for years and then swapped over to a diamond tipped one and I'm really pleased I did. No expensive crystals to buy, no crystals getting everywhere and you can work around the eye area. I got mine from Ivanmed, but to be honest the diamond...

Hi, you only need to register for VAT if your turnover is going to be over £85,000. I wouldnt register and have the hassle of it if not. Also being a Ltd company is a lot more complicated than just being a sole trader. I would get advice from an account to what is best for your situation. X

Hi, What Holistic treatments do you do? I have a clinic on the boarders of East London / Essex where we do some Holistic therapies already but are always looking for more. Vicki x

Hi, Where in London are you moving to? I will be looking for a nail tech soon, but the salon is based on the outskirts of East London / Essex. Thank you Vicki

I would agree with mrsjones the most popular treatments for us are intimate waxing, spray tanning and nail extensions. We do the others but again they are not asked for on a daily basis. Good luck with finishing your level 3 and remember there is plenty of time to learn new things once you...

If you are looking to work within a salon a NVQ is always best, but if you are looking at working for yourself then it’s not really a factor as long as your feel the course you have chosen is giving you the skills and confidence you need then that’s fine, you can always do other courses after to...

We have found for acne scarring the derma roller is giving far better and quicker results than the microdermabrasion. If I knew then what I know now I would not have got my microdermabrasion machine. Look into Medik8 skin needling, it’s not for all therapists as it is puncturing the skin and...

You know what it might be worth doing is waiting until the Excel beauty exhibition and have a look at all the skincare companies; it might give you some inspiration. We have found over the last few years our facials (dermalogica) have been reducing and our advanced facial treatments...

I get the client to take their top off ready for the facial and get them to wear a dressing gown. I then do the manicure first, then the pedicure. The finger nails should be dry enough to carefully glide the gown off and when preparing them for the facial make sure their hands are above the...

Hi, Sorry I am not able to help you as I have never used this product range, but can I ask why you want to change from Eve Taylor? as its a range we are considering. Thank you x

Hi, We are looking for a beauty therapist who does holistic therapies. We are a beauty salon which also does holistic therapies but would like to find someone who could help expand and progress the holistic side of the business. At the moment the holistic therapies we offer are reflexology...

Hi, When I first started I was in the same position as you, at the beginning you may not be packed out so you will have time to work in reception. I had an answering machine to take the messages while I was in treatments and for most treatments I would answer the door except for massage and...

The problem with a stamp per treatment is not all clients have the same treatment throughout, due to this our loyalty scheme is through how much they spend, so in our case we have a card with 10 boxes and for every £25.00 they spend they get a stamp in the box, if they spend less than £25.00 we...

I had one of my therapists open a salon on the same road as me providing the same treatments as me, under cutting all our prices. I agree with you do not lower your prices as that just starts a price war and you will all loss out. What I did was add value to our service which does not cost us...

My feet were smoother nothing amazing but only had the 20 minute session once and they say you should have 35 minute session a few times to get results, but could not cope for that long! It did concern me the hygiene aspect the girls at work were reading about it on the internet and laughing...

You are right dermalogica have raised there prices twice this year already and we are in a recession! Even America are in a recession so it’s not that it’s an American products that the problem. What 2 normal shops were they in? I can't believe this. I will let you know how my trial goes...
