A Skincare Range to feel passionate about......

[Petit Basque]

is what I am seeking!

I am just about to qualify for NVQ Level 2 Beauty Therapy, have a lovely room set up at home, have a few regular clients and really, really need to get my business off the ground as soon as possible.

I really love doing facials and will be doing advanced facial skincare treatments in Level 3 Beauty Therapy from September.

I have just trawled the skincare threads on this forum until my eyes are throbbing but still cannot decide what to do.

The message that comes across strongly is that you need to feel passionate and have real belief in your skincare range in order to promote it both professionally and profitably. I really don't want to go down the Kaeso/Eve Taylor/Jean Marin/Thai Spa type skincare ranges as so many beauty therapists in my area already offer these.

I cannot afford to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy into a really high end skincare range because as a home based therapist, there is a "ceiling" on what I can charge for a facial and I am concerned it won't be profitable enough for me. I also think my husband would have a heart attack if I spent £1000+ on skincare products and would probably divorce me

I guess I am looking for a mid-price skincare range...something that delivers results, is lovely to use and is packaged elegantly enough to sit proudly on the shelves of my room.

I know this has been asked a thousand times over but would really welcome your ideas on this very important issue.

Thanks all :hug:

Hiya..i also had this problem about 3 weeks ago as i have just set up my own treatment room at home..i specialise in facials and massage and trawled through the threads on here about skincare..at the end of the day it all comes down to costing and i certainly could not afford to go with the high end skincare..i bought some samples of kaeso/eve taylor etc and in the end my very fav was jean marin..they smell devine very subtle not over powering and fresh clean packaging..reasonable prices and best of all my clients love it..they have all commented on how there skin feels so nice and booked courses of facials and ordered products..i think you have to go with your head and try a few out..it gave me a headache but in the end i went with instinct..hope you find the right one for you :hug: x

I have been in the same position. Opening my first spa and trying to decide what I can afford but wanting something I truly believe in.

Met with the rep from Environ this morning and she was amazing. Its not as expensive as you would imagine and although there are some advanced and expensive things in the line, you can start with the more basic things. There's no minimum order. They are sooo helpful. I cant wait to start using it!

Hi I recently set up with Monu skincare there products are amazing and smell fantastic and look so professional, they do have starter packages on the website but they can also tailor a package to suit your needs and budget depending on
The treatments you want to offer, they are really helpful to talk to over the phone and not pushy so I would recommend giving them a call or try emailing them. Finally I would like to add that there training is fantastic I've been on two courses with them up to now and the have been really great.
