Has anybody ever heard or had any experience with The Training Room? I was having a look on Indeed.co.uk out of curiosity and this came up as one of the positions saying they were looking for trainee beauty therapists. I'm not sure what to think of it though. I am HND qualified but do not work...

Into Autumn now and at this time of year I always want to spend any free afternoons sitting with a cup of tea, autumnal candles burning and some sort of craft to pass the time by. I know I must sound like a pensioner but honestly I'm only 23 haha. My only problem(apart from lack of time) is...

Hi I have a friend with me just now who has dyed their hair from dark brown to darkish blonde. She wants her eyebrows lighter. I was only taught at college to darken brows. Has anybody any experience with this. Is it even possible?

I have a trial coming up for a wedding. It's just the bride for the trial and I'm going to charge about £10/£15 for it. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I want to be prepared to give the bride accurate prices for the actual wedding. I don't have a huge amount of experience and the only...

This weekend I am waxing a guy's legs for charity at work. I haven't waxed a guy since college and even then we had about 2/3 of us waxing 1 guy at the same time as male clients were few and far between. I know I'll be fine when I'm actually doing it but I want to make sure I'm 100% with what...

I've been searching on the forum and on the internet for information about doing the make-up for those who have passed away but can't find what I'm looking for. It might sound a bit morbid and weird but I've always been interested in maybe trying this either as a career or just volunteering...

Have just been recommended to somebody to do make-up for them for a wedding. That's all very good but the person is wondering if I can do ethical make-up. Now maybe I'm just being dim but what on earth is ethical make-up and how do you do an ethical make-up look? I'm not in direct contact with...

Looking for a bit of advice about a skin tag I have. At college I didn't do skin tag removal and being honest I really don't know too much about skin tags. I've had a skin tag on my underarm for a few years. It's the only one I have and it's never caused any problems. I've waxed, shaved etc...

Looking for a bit of advice. I may have the chance of a job down in England. I'd be down there for about 5 months and then would be back in Scotland where I would continue the job but just in a different place. It's not definite yet but I keep going through it in my head and it's driving me mad...

I left my Sally's card in my friend's car the other week. I've been away so told her I would pick it up when I got back. That's all fine but i have a feeling that my card has been getting used whilst I've been away. Is there anyway to find out when my card has been used and what was purchased...

Hi everyone, So on Friday I have my Lush spa interview in Leeds. Group interview but have been informed that there will be a trade test which will be a 10 minute back massage. I've never had a trade test before and I always thought it would be a full treatment. I was going to do the first 10...

Has anybody got any experience with working for Lush? I have a group interview next week for a position as spa therapist and am looking for some advice, what they ask you etc. All I know is that I've to do a 10 minute back massage and group activities. I'm so nervous haha also the interview is...

I'm trained beauty therapist and make-up artist but having not enjoyed my make-up course at college I decided to stick really to beauty. My make-up kit has kind of run down a bit. I was approached this morning by a family friend who asked if I would be able to do a trial for her daughter who...

When I was at college the other year we had to carry out a week of work experience in a salon or spa. I did my work experience in a local salon and it was great, it gave me a good insight into the everyday life of working in a salon. 2 years on and I am looking for a job as a beauty therapist...

Got back from work yesterday with a really scratchy, sore throat which had turned into a full blown cold after a matter of hours. Barely got a wink of sleep last night. Feeling really rubbish and a bit sorry for myself lol. Anybody got any good cures that work for you?

So as I have mentioned on other threads I am just starting out after qualifying. To gain some experience I am going onto volunteer in a hospice doing beauty therapy and make-up. I don't have insurance, don't need it to work in the hospice as I'm covered by their own insurance but I want to get...

I've just dug out my wax pot to find that it had been tilted and the wax has gone everywhere! Luckily it's sat in a plastic box so the only things covered are the box and the pot but really it's all over the pot. Any tips on best ways to clean it up? I'm at it with my wax equipment cleaner just...

I have been at college full time for 3 years, first 2 for my beauty therapy qualification and the 3rd for make-up artistry. I am now fully qualified but as I do not have a lot of actual experience in the industry I do not feel totally comfortable getting myself into a job. I have signed up to be...
