Ok so here goes.....

I'm a mobile therapist offering lovely treatments to my clients but i love going to a salon near me that do certain facials which i love...now i know some said company's wouldn't sell to me as trade because i don't have the required rooms ect as being mobile.....BUT could i stilll use them if i have purchased at full retail price?? of cause i wouldn't be able to retail and my product cost would be higher but i feel i would appeal to certain clients because of this product.

i've done search after search and have found a few threads similar where a geek does similar but with a different brand so thought i would ask.

If i have got this completely wrong or it's a silly question then i'm really sorry but i really don't know hence me asking (you never know till you ask):hug:

I suspect that said companies might be the best people to ask about using their product on a mobile basis. I suspect also that they might say no, because they want their brand associated with a certain sort of therapist, i.e. one in a salon, not a mobile one. Now, I personally think they're missing a trick here; I've been on the receiving end of some appallingly bad treatments in a salon. There's no guarantee that a treatment administered in a salon is going to be any better than one done in a client's home.
You might also want to check with your insurance company. They might think that if you're using product without the blessing of the manufacturer then they're not happy to insure those treatments.
There are plenty of companies who are more than happy to supply mobile therapists, and whose products are beautifully effective. If I were in your situation I could well find myself inclined to stick two fingers up to the silly companies who can't see past the salon door!

Hear Hear!

There are lots of skin care ranges to choose from that would be equally appealing to your clients.
