Hey guys.
Its been a while since I posted a thread, but I've been thinking about some things that make me wonder which way our industry is really heading.
Ive read so many posts on here from (new?) therapists that are wanting skincare products, but want something that will cover all skin types, i.e. just the 1 cleanser/toner/moisturiser or just for dry skin as they recon that their (yet to materialise) client base will be mature therefore only have dry skin.
I take calls when I'm in the office from therapists wanting to buy our products and buy our smallest kit, but then grumble that they were only looking at spending around £50 and so they don't bother.
I'm just intrigued to know why people come into our industry and feel that they can do everything on the cheap, yet charge their clients top dollar.
I understand that starting up can be hard, but really...? I think that people need to realise that to be a credible therapist you have to have products to cater for at least dry/combination/oily and that you cannot do treatments with just 1 cleanser for all, and that there is a element of cost setting up a business.
What are everyone else thoughts on this? Where do you see our industry in 5/10/15 years from now?
