    Therapists doing own work

    You could do as you say - change to being employed and carry on paying her as before but have set times and days when she has to be at the salon or if that doesn't suit her then tell he she will have to go self employed and rent the room - But you need to know what days she will be renting as...

    Setting up mobile, lots of questions

    I would start with a basic level 2 beauty course and take it from there. You can do the add on lashes, tans etc as you go along if you decide that you do like doing this line of work. Not everyone does as they (not saying you do) think that beauty is really easy and anyone can do it. It takes...

    Testing spray on couch roll

    When you test spray the couch roll - make sure it is rolled up and not loose, so your spraying it rolled up. Instead of couch roll on the floor for clients to stand on I would suggest using a big black towel - this is what I use, its comfier for the clients, doesn't look too messy and prevents...

    Putting Clusters on Yourself

    I tried once - one evening in my living room using the mirror on the wall - that was probably my first mistake! My living room is not very well lit as I hate bright lights on an evening. My lashes were a bit err wonky!! oops! I think its just a case of making sure you can actually see what...

    Trainee got another job in a salon but still with me

    Is this girl level 2 or level 3? Maybe she is needing work to pay her bills etc?? She is doing her work experience with yourself, but as you said you cannot offer her any more hours of any paid work which she may need, so has had to go to a different salon? Of course the above is just...

    OMG tanning solution!

    I know what you mean, but I think she will be fine with 12% - my friend is paler than pale who burns really easily and has white blonde hair, she tried the 9% and said it was a waste of time as it only gave her a hint of colour and could only really tell if she checked her 'white bits' lol. Go...

    OMG tanning solution!

    I would spray her with the 12% tbh - the 9% isn't that dark, and even though she is milk bottle white I think maybe the 12% will be better - or tell her you will do her the 9% and if she doesn't like it then do 12%. I have never used the 9% yet! Never even opened it - I usually start clients...

    Disabled client in a wheel chair contraindications.

    Just treat her like every other client - you will find out during consultation if she has any contra-indications that you should be aware of etc, if not then just proceed with the treatment as you normally would, no need to exclude any metal/sharp equipment unless she has any...

    OMG tan kit

    I use the OMG set up and product and haven't had any problems with it and clients like it.. Why not just get the kit and some samples to try from them rather than 3 ltrs just in case you don't like it? And carry on using the products you are already using in the salon? I am a great believer in...

    A bit shaken

    if you click onto the pm you will see a box at the top on the right hand side saying 'Actions' click on this and see the drop down box - it will say something like 'report this message' or similar - click on that.. I would report to the police though as she invited you to her home where you...

    Swedish vs deep tissue massage - price difference?

    I started off charging slightly more for deep tissue than swedish, but soon changed it when everyone booked in for swedish and I would end up mixing the 2 treatments anyway if they needed it.. :rolleyes: I now just offer a 'massage' or luxury massage using pre-blended aroma oils, but that's...

    Express/Party Lashes poll?

    A bit shaken

    hmm good question - how did they contact you? Did she post on your wall or did she send you a private message? Either way if you click to the side of the post (or where it says 'Actions' next to the messages) you will get a drop down list - it will say on there 'report post/message' or similar...

    A bit shaken

    Your not stupid at all.. I agree with the others, you have to report this both to police and facebook and if you know of any other mobile therapists, let them know too..! You did better than I would of done, I wouldn't of thought to leave my equipment etc in the car. I always grab my stuff...

    Express/Party Lashes poll?

    I call them party lashes - then clients know they are for 'parties or special occasions' only and not to be worn over a long period of time.. Express lashes say 'quick lashes' - lashes that don't take long to put on.. they don't give the client any impression of how long they should last for...

    Express/Party Lashes poll?

    I use the mini ones on my sister as she has really short lashes so these are like fillers for her when she doesn't want a 'big lash' look but a more natural look. I usually combine mini and short with her and they look great and are not too heavy for her lashes. Though I would say I use more...

    Awkward (& awful) situation!

    Just wondering - in this case it would of been easy to grab your oils and towels and just walk out as it was the clients couch, so you can make a quick get away etc, but what would you geeks do if you were using your couch, takes me about 10 mins just to pack my couch and towels and oils away...

    How to get client feedback

    did you do your post box idea?? Just wondering if you got any 'kiss arse' comments :lol: etc and how it went in general. I would love to do something like this but as I work mobile it would be pretty obvious who wrote what! :confused:

    Advice on going self employed

    I can't understand why they would not even let you answer the phone and start talking to clients? They could of let you do maybe level 2 treatments for a cut price to clients. Did they do any type of trade tests with you to see what sort of standard you were at with your treatments? Normally a...

    Interview help

    If its part-time I would of thought that they would want you to work the busiest days which is generally Thurs to Sat anyway so wouldn't see this as a problem.. But you should definately but up front and tell them which days you can work and more importantly which days you cannot work. The...
