    Waxing disaster

    You mentioned stretching. Make sure that you have the client lying in completely flat position as they are more stretched out, it makes a big difference if they are tilted even a little bit. As someone said waxing is a skill and you will be learning for ages. I once waxed half an eyebrow off...

    Marketing /advertising

    Hi, besides a website one of the best places I found was on the back window of my car. It is what people see behind you in traffic and when youare parked at supermarket etc. Vinyl stick on lettering was under £50. I know people who had the magnetic signs on the side - no one sees those. Make...

    Just lost my first clients to DIY

    Some people wanted painted nails, some want a professional manicured look (a decent finish!). Ive seen nails people have done themselves - they look rubbish in most cases, no nice crisp margin and streaky. People have bought nail polish for years and happily had rubbish paint jobs (flooded...

    Client record cards not being filled in

    Wouldn't it be funny if you let them get ready for their treatment. Took one look at their legs / arms / face and said "eh, I don't think so." lol

    LVL lashes

    Salon Systems advise not doing so so if you use them you can't. Thuya on the other hand you can, and use salon systems silicone shields. Thuya also have a regeneration serum. I trained with an lvl professional using all lvl products. It is same result.

    A male intimate waxer for women? Your opinion?

    Do you know, if he was offering all sorts of waxing to men and women I wouldn't bat an eyelid. If he was flogging his wares (so to speak) for women only intimate waxing as his sole treatment I'd say run for the hills grandma.

    'skinny, a twig, a bag of bones and anorexic' - who said it is okay to say this? I have a friend with cerebral palsy, you should hear the things people ask/say to her! People are rude, full stop.

    Phrases and sayings-do we know what they mean?

    LOL it has taken my husband years to understand why I am not getting on with something after I have told him I will do it just now. Another one is now, now - that means the job will be done quicker than if I said just now. One of my favourites is describing thin legs as: matchsticks with the...

    HD Brows and LVL Lashes

    2 treatments paid for my training, the third for the products for the next 12, the rest is profit. I have used the LVL method and the products and I have used lash lift and tint. Result: identical except one costs a fraction of the other (leaving the therapist with more profit). HD brows has...
