Holistic Insurance Services. I was insured with BABTAC for 18years and finally moved on. You can still be a member of BABTAC for a small fee.

Hi we have stopped spray tanning for now but I’ll keep an eye on your thread as we have used vita for years with no reactions.This would be awful but even worse if you had a bride !

Hi, can you post a link please. I can’t seem to connect on Lisa’s link.

Our salon are all testing Monday and Thursday. The clients know that we test regularly. White lies don’t work in these situations as the client has to know if they are at risk. Your hearts in the right place though and that’s why you are looking for advice. You can order your test kits or pick...

Morning, I checked the Scottish government guidelines published March and it says a mask must be worn and a visor is not compulsory ? This is on guidelines for close contact services. At the moment as it stands we are not going to be permitted to do facial treatments which involves removing the...

Thank you Lisa. I love this forum for advice ! I’ll have a look.

Hi, I am looking at SkinBase as they are offering an option of paying a deposit then pay as you go option with training and support included. We don’t currently have a definite date to reopen as yet in Scotland and I’m going to wait to see if facial treatments will be permitted before making a...

Hi I have seen a few on eBay and gumtree. It might be with advertising 😊

Hi Did you ever go ahead with SkinBase ? I am thinking of them too. Thanks

Hi I just wanted to pop on to say I have frozen my monthly lease payments. I think most merchant services will do this but you have to ask. I’m only paying £2.40 and my lease will go on a few months at the other end. Hopefully business will be booming by then ! Every little helps.

Morning, I use Cloverflex from First Data. My bank also offered the Cloverflex however the rates per transaction are better with First Data. It’s very easy to use and payments can be taken over the phone etc for deposits. Clients also have us set up to simply pay by bacs transfer which has no...

Hi, I’d love some feedback on this too. I am interested in purchasing my first IPL machine 😊

Hi I popped into Aldi recently and they have gorgeous flowers at £2.29. I’ve given a bunch to clients to say thank you for shopping local and their continued support. I originally bought them for clients who changed their facial appointments to an alternative treatment after our guidelines in...

Hi if you download Timely Consult it is free and has everything that you need. We started using Consult a few months ago and it’s super easy. It is in our salon IPad and we sign on behalf of the client .

Any advice on facial treatments and facial waxing in Scotland ? We currently can’t offer them however I do see other salons still doing them. Trying to keep up with the guidelines is mind blowing.

Hi fellow struggling therapists, I’d like to know how other salons are managing to do facial treatments and waxing in salons in Scotland ? We are unable to offer these services however I do see other salons continuing. Please share if I’m missing something. It’s soul destroying building your...

Hi Lisa I am a Reiki Master as well as a therapist. My Reiki training was a few years ago. I found a Reiki course online with Udemy. It’s a refresher for me. Udemy do various courses on different subjects. I thought I’d try it as it was on offer at £10.99 ! My training cost hundreds of pounds.

Absolutely go for it ! I skipped into the house after a 10 hour shift with two full laundry bags and did part of an online course while my towels washed and dried. I’m smiling from ear to ear with my shutters up ready to go again this morning. I didn’t think the clients would come back as they...

Hi Timely do Consult for free. It’s perfect for what you are looking for and I hear they are going to launch new features. We use it and it’s super simple.

Hi I feel for you. Your aftercare to clients is to keep the lashes dry for the first 24 hours at least. This must include not wearing a mask for a prolonged time as this affects the lashes. Maybe say to clients to factor this in. Avoid going to shops or anywhere they may need to wear a mask just...
