Hi I've just received an email from a now ex St Tropez rep say there will be an announcement next week regarding a take over and as a result she no longer works for St Tropez. This is at least the second time this has happened since I became a customer, the Kate Moss advertising looks as if...

Hi everyone, I've just ordered fresh stock ready for the new year and am absolutely astounded that for a pack of 50 sticky eyeshields I've been charged £75 from my microdermabrasion supplier :( Does anyone know of any good eye shields for dermabrasion that are a better price? I've googled...

As the thread states, I have just stumbled across this in today's Daily Mail online. Clearly a novel way to address costs. What are you geeks thinking of this idea? Beauty salon angers women by adding 'fat tax' of up to £10 extra for larger ladies getting their legs waxed - because they...

Dear geeks, After tirelessly reading so many threads on geeks wanting to be self employed, rent rooms, mobile, nail stations etc etc. what is clear is that there is so much confusion about legitimate business models. There are sooo many that work well but obviously there are pros and cons of...

Hi just to provoke a thought, after seeing how many therapists choose to go home early, not go in at all and wonder why thier businesses are not successful. Matching supply and demand in business is fundamental, if there is no demand for services there is no business, simple. However...

Hi Just a thought from a different thread on here, the difference thinking in a business way is significantly different to thinking about things from a non business perspective. I'm wondering if how we think about our businesses can be the making of our businesses or the ruin of them...

Hi all Just got me thinking from another thread, do we advertise our business by how we look, behave? Do our clients judge our services by thier perceptions of ourselves? And can this make or break our business? Does it even matter? Is it something we need to consider? Just thinking...

Hi geeks At the moment I use an iphone5 for my business. Is got great business features but I really need to have a phone that sends out of office text replies without me having to compose them and then send them. Does anyone have a mobile they use that has this facility? I've looked on...

Really someone here asks for advice, I give it as I am extremely well qualified to do that then because other geeks don't like my advice the thread is closed. I find that sooo rude when I'm trying to be involved in this community and enjoy the forum, however I'm finding it a little too clicky...

Hi all Does anyone have a skin analyser in their salon? I've just got a quite cheap woods lamp but the demand from clients is definitely rising to have this analysis. It shows areas of sun damage, oily ness, dryness etc and clients can then see the benefits of their treatments. I know skin...

Dear geeks I'm busy trying to renew my usual buildings and contents insurance and have been quoted extortionate prices. Compared to last year apparently because I have business visitors to my home address. My treatment room is separate to my house and I have separate public liability insurance...
