When you do an underarms wax, do you divide the area into two sections only? That's how I was trained, but when I do an underarm wax on men, I struggle a bit to do it in just two sections. The person I did today was pretty hairy so I decided to do it in 4 sections but it took much longer than...

I thought it would be nice to hear everyone's opinions, both salon owners and employees, whether trial days should be paid or not. It seems to be a big issue at the moment. In my opinion they should be paid. I have been used far too many times to do a free trial day or more when looking for a...

I had an interview yesterday and left with very mixed feelings. I have been thinking about it since. It was an interview for a beauty therapist position. It lasted 15 minutes. I wasn't shown the salon and the treatment rooms. We just sat outside the reception in a hallway. She says come in on...

Hi, as I am writing this my whole back and my wrists are sore. I have done 16 full body massages in the past 2 days with only half an hour break. Is that acceptable? Is that normal? Because if it is then I don't really want to work in a salon. I got a terrible backache at the end of the day and...
