I have decided to leave sg. It has turned into a forum for degrading, bullying & bitching! I have had some fantastic advice from a few individuals over the past months, and I thank each of them for that. However I for one am fed up of reading threads where people jump down each others throats...

I think i am maybe slightly warped in the head, I have a stupid obsession with waxing, I love it, I get so excited when Im off to wax a client, and I dont get this with any other treatment! I have finally just placed an order for my Hive multi mini system (to replace my warm wax pot & spat - a...

I apologise in advance, I know there are several threads relating to this topic I have read them all but I still just can't decide between clean & easy or phd. I am mobile and need hygienic, clean & fast heating times. Please can mobiles with either of these systems give me their honest...

I have been using Perron rigot cristal ocean & euroblond since I started my mobile business earlier this year. I have always found both to be an absoloute delight to work with, my clients love them too, and I am beginning to get a very good reputation locally for my waxing. However, late last...

Hi, I am really tempted to try the caronlab wax range. Does anyone use these? I want a hot wax, and am also going to be buying a cartridge system soon so am looking at maybe there olive oil rollers? Any advice / reviews would be greatly appreciated - I currently use pr but I find beauty...

Hi all, just after a bit of advice. I have a client whom I first waxed 5 weeks ago, it was her first ever wax and she was a serial shaver! I explained at the time that as she had shaved fairly recently the results would not be so good, and recommended a re-wax at 3-4 weeks. After the wax...

I have been mobile since March. I have read so many forums on here about promoting business (including the fab one by Lynne) and am trying so hard, I advertise on all local sites, have a facebook page, have recently done a 3000 flyer drop, have done 2 school fayres... and yet I am lucky to have...

So i went to sign up with a local supplier today, just to have as a stand by for essentials. I recently set up mobile, although I am not new to the industry (my training began in 2002). Basically, the 3 women behind the counter said "I didnt look like a beauty therapist" and would need to bring...

I have been invited along to my first school summer fayre! Its at a secondary school, and its £5 for the table. I have read lots of posts on here, but they all recommend doing file and polish type sample treatments, however, as I know there is a local beauty salon also attending, I was thinking...

Bit of advice please I have recently had to change my business name, I'm very newly mobile, and did the research etc, but yesterday a sign appeared in an empty window literally down the road reading "new beauty salon coming soon" and with a business name almost identical to mine :grr...

Hi all, I have spent hours searching the site and have found some really useful advise, but nothing really specific to my query, so here goes.. I am qualified aromatherapist & love making my own products, I understand i can do so to use within my own treatments without the need for safety...

I am due to complete my advanced aromatherapy diploma soon. I already have a few massage clients who have shown an interest as an addition to relaxation massage, and also plan on switching most of my home use bath/shower/cleaning products to homemade aromatherapy ones! This course was done more...

Ok, so an established salon from my local town has decided to up and move...to just down the road from me!! They obviously saw the same gap as I did in my little village & surrounding area! I only started out mobile quite recently, and as yet only have two regular customers, but I havent even...

I qualified I.T.E.C A&p and body massage in 2002. recently trained as beauty therapist as planned to go mobile but wanted to offer more than just massage. Problem is, I really dont enjoy a lot of the beauty treatments, i prefer the natural approach. Do you geeks think I could just offer waxing...

Hi all, I am just starting out mobile, however, I would also like to offer treatments from home, this allows me to offer more appointment times, and also, from a safety point of view, when treating male clients for first time. However we dont have a seperate room, we have a spare bedroom (used...

Funny isnt it - whilst I was training/practising, I had volenteers coming out of my ears & all wanted to rebook. Now im actually "live" & charging... NOTHING! I know its only been a week but I havent had ONE client, no enquireis, nothing! My volenteers are being helpful, handing out cards...

I have just purchased insurance online with salon gold, as I have my 1st paying clients booked for next week. However, I received an email with a reference & a thankyou, but no copy of my certificate or policy. Have emailed them & tried phoning & was just told to wait... its been hours, is...

Hi Geeks, I am due to "open" & start advertising my mobile waxing business next Monday. I have put a lot of thought & effort into advertising locally, as well as my website & facebook page. I am ready to go, however, I have a horrible feeling I am missing something important regarding...
