Hi, sounds like the paraffin isn't going on thick enough. I had the same problem with my spray system so ended up decanting paraffin into a foil-lined bowl and painting on with brush. Also, putting cream on hand/foot helps paraffin to slide off. HTH! x

why don't you do the paraffin during the facial, ie while her mask is on and follow it with a foot massage or mini reflexology or even a nail tidy and paint.

Hope you had some success selling your kit Mandy, you could also try the ads section of the professional magazines or maybe even your local paper? I'm selling my Tantrick Minimist mobile kit and tent too ... am sure it will be snapped up, it's definately the season for it. All the best!x

Sorry to hear of your experience! I'm thinking maybe Sudocrem might help? I'd try on a tiny patch first though.x

Really like your site, especially your logo and the butterflies. Hope all goes well for you.x

Might be worth considering also where you'd stand insurance-wise too if used a slow cooker rather than pro model. x

I agree with Debbie, there was a great thread on 'confidence' on here ... including how to handle it if your client does come back to you. I think the fact that you worry shows that you are good at what you do and care about the quality of your work.x

Some fab ideas here! I'm qualified in reflexology and hot stones so sometimes incorporate these. I massage the lower leg/arm and foot/hand with the stones. Clients love it! x

I agree, doing mobile work via public transport would be impossible. Sorry hun! x

Thanks to everyone for all their great advice. Will not sell myself short so am going to charge around £8 per child. Thanks again ! :hug:

I'm a mobile booked to do a children's party next week and can't decide what to charge per child. The treatment will be a soak in foot spa, mini foot massage, file and paint with nail art. I have a mini bottle of nail polish per child too. I'm thinking £5 per child. Does that sound...

This is a good question ... I stand to the side, I just can't do it standing behind.x

Bless you, I feel your pain!! Sounds like you can relax in the knowledge you did a good job though otherwise they wouldn't have tipped you! x

I did all my training in the evenings on VTCT courses and I would highly recommend, especially if you have children. Of course it means it will take longer doing it part-time but if it fits in with your home life then perfect! Go for it! x

Hi there, I think when you are not making any money, it can all seem like a chore. It's tricky when you've started prices low to put them up though... maybe give your clients some notice that, say, in a month, two months' time, the introductory offer is ending and your new price will be X...

yes, I agree, Sunday afternoons, 1st of month or thereabouts.

I always add an extra half hour onto the treatment time to allow for setting up, packing up and a little chat, re-booking etc. If it's a new client, maybe a bit longer.

It's a nice offer but I agree, she might not do it and you'd never really know. I'd tell her you prefer to do your own leafletting as you like to know exactly which areas you've covered. Cynical or what?! If you do get any direct referrals from her, ie if she tells her friends, maybe do...

Why don't you try the roller system? I use Clean + Easy for mobile work, I just heat it up at home before client (or at previous client's house if they don't mind) and it's always ready to go when I get there. I transport it in a Thermos zip up bag to keep it nice and warm. I have never had to...

One tip I'd like to share here is keep a back up! My suitcase was once lost for a week at the airport with my appointments diary in and I couldn't remember who I had in. So now I have an ordinary diary plus I write all the appointments onto a calendar at home so that I won't be in same position...
