I did the Beauticians Certificate (think this is the same as the course you are asking about) with Herts & Essex in Feb 2004. It was an excellent course and the trainer was so nice. Did mine at St Albans although Stansted would have been nearer but couldnt do the dates I needed there. Also...

I use su-do in the salon and have since I did my training with su-do. I have never had a problem with the colour on clients but (isnt there always a but?) every time I spray my sister she gets a definite orange tinge. Not sure why coz it works fine on me and all my other clients. Picked up...

Hi Guys Sorry didnt get to reply to this thread before but been have a laptop crisis (dont ask!!!!). Please can I join in?? My salon is just behind the Grafton Centre in Cobble Yard so if you want somewhere central to meet we could make it there and then go somewhere local for lunch...

I have Vibe FM playing all day (local station for east of England), unless I'm in the beauty room then its Norah Jones, or if I'm in the mood Groove Armada. Vibe has been a bit of a bonus coz they contacted me a couple of weeks ago about their forthcoming Dance Party Weekender next month...

Hi Jenn Have sent you a pm.

Thanks Dee Have emailed them for a brochure. Any other opinions/advice much appreciated.

I'm bumping this back up again. Someone out there must use micro current machines. Help please, any advice would be much appreciated.

Advice needed please. I am looking to expand into micro current facials at my salon but need so help on choosing a system. Finances are a bit limited so CACI is right out the window but I am not sure if any of the lower priced products/brands are worth investing in. Have been looking at...

Sorry Emsy I can't help here but thought I'd bump this back up as its got lost amongst all the new posts. Anyone out there got any ideas?

Hi I opened my new salon just before Christmas and offer clients tea/coffee and a biscuit (individually wrapped ones) on arrival. Have scented candles burning all day (lots of people have commented on how nice the salon smells!). Just keep the conversation general and keep looking at what...

Hi Jackie I got the UK version (white mug/red snowflakes) and I think its gorgeous. Funny I wasnt too keen on the red mug so I'm glad the UK got the white one LOL. I'll be using it as the centre piece to my Christmas display when my new salon opens on 1 December. Shaza

I did both my l&p conversion and my Brisa conversion on a 1-2-1 at MK. So glad I did coz I managed to pick up lots of other helpful tips at the same time. Costs a little more than a conversion class but I thought it was worth every penny!! Shaza
