[katwoman79]

Hi,

Please could anyone help me. I am doing a waxing course next week and would love to buy a starter kit straight away but having three kids and christmas on its way I cant afford to spend alot. Can anyone tell me where i can get a good starter kit from at a reasonable price for mobile use. Any help would be fantastic. Thank you

Trawl through all the info on here and the net and look at all the professional sites.
Order the professional catalogues... they are free.Ellisons,Beauty express,salon services,hof,aston and fincher to name a few.Find out where your local wholesalers is.
Go to ebay if you like but its not a professional site if thats what you intend to be.
Becoming a therapist and starting a business is never going to be cheap.

Theres a lot of salons closing down at the minute. If you see them selling loads of other bits then the stuff will be genuine.

I buy my couches, trolleys, stools etc off of ebay, however I would never buy skincare or make up as you are putting it on your clients skin and if they react you have no back up.

I buy machines etc off there too, no different from the guild sales board just ensure you get the equipment PAT tested.

Theres no harm trying to save a few pounds to set up providing the client is not at risk. Many people buy second hand equipment to get them started. I started my second salon with all new stuff and I wish I hadnt as i spent more than I needed to.

You can't really go far wrong with a Hive starter kit....its what i started with and got very good value for money out of.

Usually retails inc heater for around £49.95 +VAT

I agree. Or you could just buy the things you need as sometimes, starter kits have stuff in them that you don't really need. xxx

salons direct have a budget line lotus essentials. For £25 you get 3 pots of cream wax, 1 pot of honey wax, 500ml pre wax cleaner,500ml after wax oil, 500ml after wax lotion, 500ml equipment cleaner, 400 waxing strips and a box of spatulas.
You can get a wax heater from them as well, prices start from £20.
It is very basic, but will do the job. My little £15 wax heater works without a problem for more than 2 years now, it takes its time to heat the whole pot of wax, but for the price I payed for it, I really can't complain.
I've just bought myself a roller wax system (from salons direct, cost me £50), so only use my other heater for parafin wax now.
