    Lawful Development Certificate

    It's Merton council. They have asked me to contact the main planning officer and ask him to make an exception. I just don't know what to think.

    Lawful Development Certificate

    Thank you so much for your reply. OMG 3 months is a long time to find these things out. It's so unfair.

    Lawful Development Certificate

    I have read many threads about people trying to get a special treatments licence to work from home and i'm trying to do that myself at the moment, but i have just been hit with another stumbling block today. On my council special treatment license form, it asks if i have planning permission to...

    Special treatment license?

    Hi, did anyone have to make a 1:50 scale drawing and and send it in with the licence application form, as this is what my council is asking for. I have no idea how to get one for them, any clues.

    Can I make a living off just electrolysis?

    Thank yo so much for your honest advice Wonderwoman. I think i'm going to have to really think about doing electrolysis as my main treatment. Apilus have offered me a good deal with 6 months interest free credit. So as long as i can cover that i should be ok. They also provide training...

    Can I make a living off just electrolysis?

    Thank you so much for your reply. Your right, he is worried financially but i know this is the only way i'm going to make a decent wage. But to be honest i can't even promise him that i'll get even one client and he needs me to be able to say that i know this will work when obviously i don't...

    Apilus cleo blend, is it worth it?

    Apilus cleo blend, is it worth it?

    Hi Little Voyce, Thanks for the advice. I will check older threads regarding the beeping to tell you that the time is up. But am still a bit confused regarding the auto sensing on the cleo. Once you insert the probe, does it start working on its own when it has reached the correct...

    Apilus cleo blend, is it worth it?

    Thank you essentia, I know your one of the electrolysis guru's on this site so your advice is priceless. I will check once again with HOF but you have actually used the machine so can give me a better understanding of it. I did ask them to provide me with more information before i buy but i...

    Apilus cleo blend, is it worth it?

    Hi everyone, Thanks to many esteemed geeks advice, i have looked into upgrading to an Apilus from my carlton, Diathermy machine. I did speak to someone at hof but am still unclear regarding buying the Cleo blend. I had a few questions which i wanted to ask? Does the cleo beep once...

    Help with electrolysis

    That's exactly why i'm so worried. If i'm not quartarising the folical then i'm not doing the job properly. I suppose i will have to see if the hairs come out again. Thank you for your help.

    Help with electrolysis

    No i was told to pull back. That's a new method, which i will try in future. I have a carlton Diathermy machine, one of the old style ones. I don't think i'm going in too far as i don't draw blood after insertion, rather its like there's a blood spot before the skin even enters the folicle...

    Don't know what to do anymore?

    I know how you feel. I'm exactly in the same position. I have done everything that you mentioned but still business is really slow. I get the odd client but your right, you start to doubt yourself and like everything, practice makes perfect. I have found that giving people freebies helps...

    Help with electrolysis

    Hi, I've just had a lady come in for electrolysis on the chin. I use a diathermy unit so started on a low intensity and slowly increased the intensity but the strong hairs would not budge. I used a 4s needle which should have been perfect. Not only that, i felt that probing was really hard...

    Renting space from barbers

    Hi, I wanted to get some advice regarding renting salon spaces and licences. There is a shop near my house which has been turned into 2 shops, in which the owner uses one half for his barber business while the other shop is empty. It was a hair salon about 4 years ago but no one has been...

    Salon in your sitting room

    Hi Missymish, I do have a bathroom right in front of my treatment room up stairs but they still want one in the room. And the argument about disable access is just one that the council use to stop us therapists working for ourselves.

    I hope your council is more understanding then mine.

    Salon in your sitting room

    I agree its total madness and your right, half of the salons i've gone to have not had a sink in the treatment room so i have no idea why they are being so difficult. My treatment room upstairs has a bathroom less then 2 meters away yet they still want a sink in the room. Yours points are...
