    Neighbours affecting my home beauty business

    That all sounds horrible, I sympathise with you. However I think you should be careful, about making statements about housing association tenants, I personally own my house but I am sure there are plenty of people on here who don't and either rent or live in council housing. Why don't you...

    Microdermabrasion back treatment

    Hi Geminikelli, I have done MDB on backs before, it made a difference definitely, lots of people can't get to there backs properly. I just did a cleanse with gel and warm mitts, MDB, then finished with a light moisturiser. I did this course of treatments a few months before the summer so...

    Did I handle this right? Advice please

    Don't stress about it, she was late you gave her another option, and she still got her way. I honestly think some clients just think you sit and wait all day for just them and you don't need to make a living. A few months ago a lady was in for a pedicure she had her feet soaked and scrubed...

    Colonic hydrotherapy

    I have had quite a few over the years and just had a course of 3 a couple of months ago. Check what kind of treatment it is, as some are pointless the ones you basically control yourself can't remember the name of them. The lady I go to is amazing doesn't hurt at all when she puts the thingy...

    Is 50/50 fair?

    I would say if you are providing all you own stuff and self employed 60-40 split to you.

    Need help fast on treatment % for employee

    She can't be an employee and self employed. If you want her self employed you have no say in when she works. I would say 50/50 split definitely no more than 60/50 in her favour. Don't rush into anything you will regret.

    I'm very busy, should I take on someone?

    In my opinion don't have your friend self employed, if you want YOUR Business to grow employ someone and you set the rules etc, get your business to the point it will make you money even if your not working. Have a good contract, be fair but firm ! Sounds like your a fab therapist expand ...

    Best face lift machine

    I use Caci, which is great! Remember what ever machine you use, it's only as good as the operator, in other words you could invest in high tech equipment and not get great results if you don't use it correctly. Make sure whatever you invest in has good full training, and know your muscles ...

    Keeping an eye out

    SWOT analysis is very important, that includes checking out your competition, Always making sure you are the best, that doesn't mean the cheapest ! Checking out other salons is a good way of improving your own service. However I don't mean I check out, or worry about other people's businesses...

    What do you think?

    There you go, she feels bad, she now knows how it feels to suffer with anxiety. In my view 2 wrongs don't make a right, it takes a far bigger person to forgive and move on than to turn round and say up yours !

    What do you think?

    Maybe just tell her how you feel.... Sometimes people don't understand stuff or know how to deal with things, maybe something has now happened to her or someone close to her that has made her feel guilty about how she treated you. Maybe clear the air, let her apologise, accept it and move on...

    What do you think?

    Forgiveness is a wonderful thing ! Only you know if you want this women in your life, or if it bothers you how things were left ? Easy to say ignore her ! It must be on your mind or you wouldn't ask others opinions ! X

    HHBTA and Bonheur Academy courses?

    I went to a place called Bonheur academy for shellac training, it was ok but I didn't realise it wasn't official CND training and didn't count when I wanted to book a style and design course through CND. So a waste of money. I wasn't shown French either. Definitely do a CND course.

    Trade Test cheeky?

    Personally I would want to make sure you were upto scratch with treatments if I was recommending my hair clients to you for beauty. But it does seem a lot of treatment to give her if its your products. Mabe do a 20 min massage mini facial and eyebrow wax. An hours treatment and she should feel...

    High Street vs Non High Street Salon?

    My salon is in the middle of a small village about 2 miles from town, free parking no business rates and lower rent than in town. For me I wouldn't want to be in town, and I wouldn't want treatments myself in town with parking etc. I think if you have a resedential area around you it's...

    A good, reliable sunbed?

    No advice really, except I though tanning salons were a thing of the past, especially now we are so much more aware of the dangers of skin cancer and premature ageing !

    Has anybody been to Rome? Need suggestions, please

    You will love it ! We went for my husbands 40th a few yrs ago. We stayed just on the outskirts of Rome in a lovely boutique hotel which had a hot tub up on the roof , I can tell you that was amazing after a long day of walking around, to refresh before starting again in the evening. Loads to...

    Advice please pros and cons re employing or self employed

    Hi, that's great you need to expand well done ! I have done both and I would definitely say employ if you want full control and to make any money from them ! If you know you have enough work coming through the salon that's your best option. Having someone on payroll is easy but obviously you...

    Chair for everything!

    Hi, I am not sure that chair would be any good for waxing ! I have never used one like this before so don't know how far they layback either, you maybe able to get one with removable arms ? Other wise one of my rooms has a hydrolic coach which bends in 2 places so you can do pedicures in it...
