    How come you're getting rid of the phd system, did you not like it? I love waxing too, at college I hated it, but as time goes by I'm quicker and enjoy it. :D

    Do I refund?

    I'm in the exact same situation at the moment, I had a lady phone today who isin't happy as she had her nails done on Friday and 3 have fallen off, while the rest are starting to lift. She doesn't want to pay more money to have them repaired or have them taken off, and if I'm going to charge her...

    Struggling with assignments VTCT cosmetic makeup course.

    The tutors make you find the answers for yourself so you actually read and learn the answers. If she handed you out questions and the reading material it would just be a case of regurgitating what is already written. I did VTCT and I find this method really does make the knowledge easier to sink...

    £10 salon uniforms

    I get mine from there to, next day delivery, but I can never seem to get the £10 ones in my size :cry:. I got some really nice t-shirts from there, 3 for £5 that say 'Beauty' or 'Nails'. I love them that much I wear them with my jeans all the time

    the stereotype

    I get stereotyped all the time just because I work in the beauty industry and have blonde 'bimbette' hair. They don't realise the work and study that I have put it. People should never be judged on how they look, and for their information I was doing a computing degree but hated it and changed...

    What does a Client look for when choosing a Salon?

    I was just talking to my business advisor about this yesterday!! He told me I am concentrating to much on my professional point of view and should step back and look at it from the clients point of view. Sometimes I get so wrapped up I forget what its like to be the client. I'm actually going to...

    Missed Appointments - To Charge or Not to Charge

    I state on my pricelists that I must have 24 hours notice if their appointment has to be cancelled or rescheduled, failure to do so may result in a 50% cancellation fee. I also take card details to secure bookings of all new clients who's treatments last over an hour. I also offer a free text...

    Help on pricing treatments

    You should research the prices of other therapists/salons in your area, as every area is different and is priced accordingly. Where I stay it is a smaller area with not many salons so I'd say I was middle of the range, whereas where I used to stay the prices were a lot higher, but at the same...

    LUSH cosmetics!

    I love Lush! My boyfriend has to drag me away from the place. I love their shower jellies which are actual jelly, you can even use them as shampoo. I also love the bath bombs, they really are lush.

    Mobile technicians - how far would you go..?

    I've answered 10-15 just for the fact that where I stay is the middle of nowhere, and the other towns are scattered about here and there. I'm not a mobile therapist but I do offer beauty and tanning parties for a minimun of 5 people so its worth it really.

    Consultation Sheets

    Do you have individually designed cards for each treatment, for example for a body massage treatment card do you include questions such as do you suffer from ....(list of related contraindications), height, weight, body type etc? Or is it just general consultation cards about health, medication...

    Consultation Sheets

    I'm just confused as we had the cards you are talking about aswell as the consultation sheets to fill out before each client. I don't know if that is maybe just a college thing for insurance?? Do any of you geeks remember doing this at college?

    Consultation Sheets

    I was just wondering if any of you geeks could help me. At college we always filled out a client record card and consultation sheet that was signed by the client before each treatment. The consultation sheets were tailored for each treatment to contain the relevant questions regarding...

    is my pricing wrong?

    I've just gone through the Prince's Trust aswell, I was originally going to go mobile but I'm now renting rooms at a local hairdresser's. They also told me my prices were too low. Since moving to premises I put my prices up. I just worked out a price by taking the price of products, time etc and...

    Pot Waxing - Paper or Cotton Strips ???

    I went through a phase where I could only use muslin at college, now all I use is paper. It feels more controlled when I pull them off than the fabric strips. At first I hated paper strips, now as a professional I can't get enough of paper lol.
