I'm not so bothered as to the brand, but simply if you are doing IPL could you tell me if it is making money? I'm a very busy electrologist/skincare therapist and thought it might complement my current treatments very well. Trying to get an overall feel of how it's performing at the moment...

Hi I know it's like comparing apples and oranges - they're both fruit but totally different... However, if wanting to add an advanced treatment which - in your EXPERIENCE - is the better earner? And which costs less to maintain (i.e. products needed). Not bothered about initial cost of...

Thought it would be fun to find this out! If Judy Dench and Maggie Smith are our Grand Dames of Film and Theatre, who would be our Grand Dames of Beauty? (Allowed to be alive or dead...). And why would you pick them? I'll start off with Coco Chanel - amazingly cool and stylish. Head of a...

Hi. Has anyone taken their business premises out on a Licence base, instead of a Lease? I know it's far less expensive and that both have their pros and cons but I'd like to hear from anyone who has a Licence on their property and if it's been a good idea. Would help me immensely! Thanks

I saw the post below on another forum. Makes me enraged that someone could think of using the NHS - OUR NHS and its precious resources - to train in something 'they would love to do'. But guess what? It's not the nursing. "Hi all, looking for some advice. I am really interested in training...

Hi I've just received an interesting e-brochure about Juliette Armand skin care. It looks like the kind of range I might work with, but I'd like to know if any geeks out there have used it or heard of it? I have a feeling there's some users up in Scotland.... Thanks

I've been approached by a company called Book 'n' Bloom who offer a booking platform on Facebook. Has anyone used this, or does anyone know about them? Sounds interesting, but I'm sure it would conflict with any other on-line booking system I might be using.... If it IS good, maybe we...

Are there any East Anglians out there (LIncs/Cambs/Hunts/Norf/Suff/Essex) who find there are very few company trainers out there? Not being specific - nor being critical - but for instance if you want CND where do you go? If you want Nouveau Beauty, where do you have to go? There's lot of...

Tried this thread using TO - and got nowhere! Just wondering where the nearest trainer for SV and FL is to Cambridgeshire/Suffolk. Is there even one at all in that area as it's pretty rural! Thanks.

So, there'snow the (relatively) new Provide Male Skin Care course... Would you get your qualification for this - or send your staff? Would it be for the male skin care centres only? Would love to know your thoughts as this niche area is growing!!

Yikes! I've just had an e-mail with a very rough quote for converting a unit into my new salon (not quite signed the lease!!).And it's already £1k over what I had considered without putting in basins, heaters, and a whole lot more..... To make me feel better is anyone prepared to say how much...

Read an interesting piece the other day that said the recommended size (what is recommended??) for a therapist's treatment room was 10 x 10 (ft). What do you all think? I guess this is to fit a couch, stool and trolley. Not sure about mag lamps etc! When I read things like this, I wonder if...

Hi. This is a VERY specific question: Has anyone here trained with LCN in Sussex for their permanent make up? They're currently offering FREE training - if you buy the starter kit and book by July 1st. (I haven't checked out the details of these prices....) LCN is a very well known...

Hi Just a quick one - How many of you geeks run businesses (salons/mobile/home) and DON'T do lashes, tanning or nails? Just interested to know.... :) I CAN do LVL and Shellac (and all basic mani/pedi) BUT it's not my main interest or skill and I'm wondering if it's even worth offering...

Hi I think I've found a unit that could convert to a small salon (lots of electrolysis) and also offer room for one-to-one/two training. But it's basically a box at the moment. I'm not really looking at an area for nails but I might have a foot health practitioner come in a few months down...

Hi Everyone Who's the best provider of topical anaesthetics to semi permanentmake up technicians? And what are your preferred brands e.g. Tag etc. Does anyone know if we can import from suppliers in the US again? Any info welcome to provide a good, broad picture of this part of the...

Hi I'm checking this out for my sister, but can anyone recommend a good basic mani/pedi course nr Norwich? Annoyingly, I could teach her myself but, being a busy therapist, (who procrastinates...) haven't got round to the admin bit of writing/accrediting courses!! So, that's taught ME a...

If there are any IT teccies out there, maybe they can answer this: Where is the best place to have our reviews? I can have them on my own website, Google, FreeIndex etc. But which is going to get the best viewing and/or help with SEO? (And I could be talking rubbish here...) I obviously don't...

Hello out there! Has anyone worked with, or joined the BNI networking group? BNI International - Business Networking and Referrals I've been repeatedly targeted by their local branch telling me they have received a 'recommendation about my services' and they want me to go to a...
