Hi
I am qualified in levels 2 and 3 in beauty therapy. I finished my last course 2 years in June. However since qualifying I've barely done any thing with my qualifications. I struggle with depression and anxiety and my confidence is non existant. I do family as the odd friend of the family but that's as far as it goes. I set up a business facebook page and got some business cards printed. The thought of actually handing these out and putting myself out there scares the life out of me. I am so self critical and really hard on myself that I won't be good enough. I've not any complaints and know i put my all into my treatments. I doubt myself people will think I take too long with my shellac treatments or the pressure with my massages isn't hard enough etc. How did you all start out. Obviously the fact someone is newly qualified seems to put people off as they want someone with experience. But how am I meant to get experience and build confidence. My partner isn't very nice and constantly puts me down. Hes always calling me lazy and telling me I've done 2 years training doe nothing and I'll never make anything of myself. I want to do this so bad for me and my kids future. Also to prove my partner wrong and I can have my own business. How do I overcome my confidence problems as it's holding me back. When I did my training I had an eyebrow wax to pass but my teacher just passed it all off without me actually doing one. Now a simple eyebrow wax freaks me out and should be the easiest waxing treatment. Am I able to so a refresh course just in eyebrows as already I've had so many people want me to so them and I make up all excuses to get out of it. HELP!! thanks for your time x x
