Hi was just wondering how important do you think it is to have a steamer in a home salon are hot towels enough? xx
Hello, I started from home 5 months ago and started with a slow cooker/rice steamer to heat my damp towels for facials (£19.99 from argos), I have since bought a facial steamer as well but I still use the slow cooker to heat my towells, I use them to wipe over the hands and feet before massage and facials and I also use them during the facials, after a back massage, after a hand massage whilst the mask is setting...I could go on, but thats wasn't your question lol!
My clients really enjoy the hot towells and they have no idea they are coming out of a slow cooker!
Start with what you can manage and just keep re-investing until you have what you want, that would be my advice.
Hope this helps, good luck

I do the same for when i do Spa Manicure, but i got my slow cooker from ASDA £10. x
I have heard of a food steamer being used for hot towels before but never a slow cooker. How do you work with this then in a salon/home salon situation?

Thanks guys so do you think hot towels are enough to offer in a facial or do you really need a facial steamer as well? x
Maybe so,but i still think a hot cabbi looks much more professional,it is quieter,and more suitable for the therapist who has no running water in the room.I've managed perfectly well for over 16 years without a steamer & I can't recall anyone ever asking about steam during a facial.
As for hot towels/mitts all I do is fill the basin up with hot water, dunk the mitts, then ring them out. Apply to face/body & remove product. Voila! End result is exactly the same, only cheaper .
