[rachirv]

hi everybody! i am looking to oPen a beauty salon offering beauty, nails and spray tanning. i am going to use nsi and leighton denny for the nails, and st tropez for tanning but i am really stuck for which to use for facials and body treatments! any reccomendations would be fantastic! and also, do you know how i can test the products without having to buy them because i dont want to spend a fortune on testing them out to find the range i like. thanks everyone xxxx

Beauty shows are the best place to see all the brands, get prices and a "feel" for them. Failing that you could go and have some facials!

Hi there, I speak as a Beauty Therapist primarily who has had her own salon for many years but also as a sales rep and trainer for a professional skincare company . Any skincare company worth their salts will be happy to have their rep offer you a no obligation facial in order to see the products for yourself . You should not feel pressured into having to make a decision there and then as you will probably want to look at more than one range . Opening parcel sizes vary tremendously and i always shy away from the standard packages and offer an individual quote based on my new clients needs after i have seen her and discussed what she wants from her skin care range . That way she has a tailor made package to suit her clientele and not just what the company want her to sell .
