    Professional Beauty teeth whitening

    For any of you heading off to Professional Beauty next week, please, please, PLEASE DO NOT be duped by all the tooth whitening companies that tell you it's legal. It isn't. If it's self administered, nonnperoxide, or any of the other things they tell you, it's STILL illegal. The GDC prosecute...

    Workers pensions

    Just though I'd share this. Today we went to an employers information session at a local hotel. One of the areas discussed was the upcoming pensions. As we know, self employed and employed in this industry is a tricky area, but if you are supplying products for a therapist and taking a share...

    More evidence of the illegality of teeth whitening!

    Please don't get sucked in at the beauty shows - there may be loopholes, and those selling these kits will tell you it's all fine and dandy, but yet again, a therapist who thought she would be okay...

    What makes a good business?

    A little food for thought for those of you in business. Yet again, I'm looking for a new hairdresser. Why??? The last lady I went to did great colour and cut, but revelled in drama - the phone would ring, she'd answer it and chat while I sat there meekly waiting for her to finish. The salon...

    Sunless Solutions help

    Don't know if anyone can help. I ordered a tan tent from sunless solutions about 10 days ago and have heard nothing. I've called several times but no answer and all mail boxes are full. Has anyone heard anything about the company or got any suggestions? I'm currently over £100 out of pocket...

    Electric spray tan tent

    Has anyone used one of the electric tan tents that go in the washing machine? We don't do a huge amount of tanning, but yet another tent has got warped as I've tried to fold it down. We're now thinking that one of these electric ones might be good. The only threads I can find are quite old, so...

    Light therapy

    Does anyone on here use led light therapy in treatments? It's something I've been interested in for a long time but know little about. I can only find old threads, so it would be interesting to know if those geeks went on to use them. Thanks Vic x

    Do we have the 'right' to be educated in beauty?

    We're forever seeing posts on here from therapists doing short courses, many with little contact time, but online info and lots of literature. Therapists taking these courses justify it with "I can get insured" or "we can't all go to college 5 days a week". I also see a lot of "what's the best...

    Pre-mixed massage oils

    Has anyone any recommendations for premixed massage oils. We have used the Eve Taylor ones which are lovely, but for general massage they only have 2 choices, and we're getting a little bored. What have you used that you love, that's easily available - obviously not Elemis/Decleor etc! Thanks...

    Some years ago, I watched the Apprentice, and one of the girls wanted to get some top notch suppliers, so she rang a top London hotel and asked who their suppliers were. the hotel - having spent time and money sourcing great suppliers, refused to divulge the information. My question is, are...

    Room to rent

    This is a small room to rent in a pretty barn on the Leicestershire/Northants borders, about 3 miles from the Catthorpe interchange - M1/M6/A14. It wouldn't suit a beauty therapist, but we would love to hear from Holistic therapists, laser hair removal specialists, or anything that would...
