    Doing offers after coronavirus?

    Hi all, I’ve seen some businesses are saying they’re going to do offers when we get back to “normal”. I wondered generally if people think this is a good/bad idea? It did cross my mind as people may of been surviving on low incomes and not have the money to come back for big treatments...

    Needle-less fillers

    Hi I’ve done quite a bit of research into the hyaluronic pen devices. They use a pressurised system to get the product into the skin. The pen kind of device was originally invented for diabetics so they didn’t have to use needles. At first it sounds good as it’s meant to be less painlful, less...

    Microneedling training

    Hi I have looked at previous posts but would like some answers a bit more helpful for my area. I’m looking at microneedling training with a pen device and the pen/kit included after. I can find loads of courses alone but without the pen! I am in Suffolk so anywhere as close as possible that...

    Can different Botox brands work differently

    I don’t think this is the case for me personally, as I had it once and it worked for a long period. Then not the year after. I believe it is said that with regular injections you should need less as the muscles are inclined to not move as much.

    Can different Botox brands work differently

    Hi will try and keep this short. I first had Botox 3 years ago, by a Dr in 2 areas of my face and she completely froze me (this is what I wanted) and it lasted 5months. She used Botox brand. The following year (last year) I tried someone nearer to home as the first Dr was 2 hours from me. This...

    Log cabin advice please

    Hi thanks for replying. By you’re “in the process” what do you mean? Is this a long thing? I thought it’s a case of them saying yes or no? I’m not looking for permission to have the cabin, I already have the planning permission. It’s the working from home bit or “running a business from home”...

    Hi I’m wanting a cabin in my garden. I’m a bit confused by all the wood thicknesses etc. Any recommendations? I’m currently looking at a few, one had 19mm thickness all round and is included in price, whereas others are 11mm and more money if you want thicker. Is it just the walls need...

    You are right. If you rent from them they are your “landlords” they cannot dictate hours or what you do there. I was in your situation. Please read this HMRC guidelines for determining self employment...

    Independent nurse prescriber looking for salon

    As someone owning a salon I found it quite difficult to get an Aesthetics nurse running clinics in my salon. I emailed reputable clinics that I knew were run by one person and asked if they would consider running a clinic in my salon. I ended up meeting someone to do it through a client so in...

    Best card machine providers?

    I use PayPal card reader. It works via Bluetooth so you don’t need WiFi connection. I got mine second hand on eBay so it didn’t cost me as much as a new one. It also accepts contactless and Apple pay. The money is immediately in my PayPal account so I can transfer to my bank account as soon as...

    How much to rent a chair/room

    Hi I rented a room on a % rate once. I gave the owner 30% if my income. This helped when I started out as if I didn’t have a client I didn’t have to pay. Renting a room means you’ll be self employed so just make sure you and the owner agree to terms and create a contract! As self employed it’s...
