    Eye treatments - collagen patches

    Just wondered if anyone has tried Matricol collagen eye patches, or a similar product? They are semi-circular and designed to fit eye contours. I'm trying to devise an anti-wrinkle eye treatment as an 'add-on' to my facials and just wondered if anyone has had any success with them. Thanks!

    Well this is a first. I have a client booked in tomorrow late afternoon for a couple of hours. She usually picks her treatments the day before depending on her mood but she has asked me to surprise her this time! Quite nice to have the freedom to pick for her. She enjoys her relaxation but...

    Putting prices up, worried what clients will say!

    As a mobile therapist I'm sure I'm not the only one currently feeling the pinch regarding fuel prices. I'm just having some new leaflets printed which will introduce some new pricing. I don't want to increase them (by approx 20%) but they are just not feasible any more. They have been the...

    spray tanning and dry underarms!

    I had a spray tan last night and because my underarm arm area is very dry (caused by my deodrant) the tan has 'grabbed' to the area. I always make sure I don't have any deodrant on when having the tan but I think some brands really do dry out the area. Just wondered if anyone else experienced...

    do you cover hair when spray tanning?

    By this I mean, do you cover your clients hair (on their head!) when spray tanning? I always get mine to wear a towelling hair band but it occured to me yesterday that maybe hair should be covered, especially if blonde/highlighted. Anyone ever had any problems with it 'staining' hair?x

    Help finding claret nail colour

    Hi there, a client has asked me to get her a lovely deep claret nail enamel which must be a creme, not frost or metallic. Ideally I'd like to get her a Creative one but OPI also fine. I have been looking at shade charts but thought I'd pick your brains as it's not that easy to tell. Can...

    Mobile from camper van/motorhome!

    A couple of clients have said to me recently I should convert a camper van or motorhome for my mobile beauty business! Then I could just park up and they could hop in for their treatments. I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. I'm not a camping kind of person but it could be quirky I...
