Lynne The Skin!
Every now and again I go and have a treatment at a different beauty salon to see what's going on out there in the big, wide world.
Recently I had two treatments; a facial in one, and a back, neck and shoulder massage in the other.
Last year I had Hopi ear candling, a facial and a hot stone massage, making a total of 5 treatments in 5 different salons.
I was a tad unsettled because in NOT ONE of these salons was a pre treatment consultation carried out. Not one. So, I wasn't asked if I was taking any meds, allergic to anything, or if I was pregnant.
Now, in my little salon, you don't get even a brow shape without a consultation. Yes, some people get cross about being asked "all these questions", but them's the rules.
So, what I want to know is this:
Do you carry out consultations?
If yes, is it for everything? What treatment would you carry out without one?
If no, why not? Would you like to, but your manager won't let you? Or do you not see the point in it? Or some other reason?
Poll coming in a minute!
If you can answer honestly I'd be very grateful. I've made the poll anonymous, so you can answer truthfully without fear of repercussions.
I'm beginning to think it's just me!
Thanks.
