What's your favourite beauty treatment to do and has it changed?

[lissy00]

So, yesterday I had a lovely new client come and see me. She had rung up another salon asking for shellac and the girl had said you really shouldn't have it because it ruins your nails! And tried to talk her into a manicure. The client suspected she just didn't like doing it, and rang me instead!

So it got me thinking. Actually when I first trained, I hated doing nails. I loved doing facials and massages. Was terrified of French manicures! Now though, I do more nails than anything and find that it probably is my favourite thing to do too. And I love French! Don't get my wrong, I love everything I do. I do love the variety, but I was very glad that girl talked herself out of my new client!!

So got me wondering. Do you now love something you weren't too keen on, or are you still just the same as the day you trained in what you love most?

Facials! I love doing them so much! I wish I could get a job as a facialist I love doing then so much.
I haven't had too much experience since finishing college so I'm hoping maybe in time I'll develop a love of waxing because at the moment it's not my favourite.

I used to hate waxing because I was so unconfident, now I quite like it, but love facials - love having them and doing them. One of my clients used to have pedis at a salon and the therapist said "I hate doing pedicures" so my client never went back - she felt guilty asking the girl to do them. I told her I LOVE doing them - I actually hate them, but I learnt a valuable lesson!!!

That's so true. I can't say feet are my 'favourite thing' (especially some feet) and often client's will say, I bet you hate doing people's feet don't you! I always say something diplomatic like, it's so satisfying, as they look so much better when I've finished! That always makes people feel better. And when people feel better, don't you find it makes you feel better, and enjoy it more? I do anyway! I could never risk losing a client by saying, no I really hate feet!

Have you tried a speed waxing course? Might make you love your full leg waxes?? xx

I started out as a massage therapist, 12 years ago, and over the years have added further treatments and qualifications, but to this day massage remains my passion! Most of my treatments stem from massage, but I also offer a few "beauty" treatments. I do also really enjoy facials, but dont enjoy manicures and pedicures, and I still get an overwhelming feeling of dread everytime someone asks for an eyebrow wax - I doubt that will ever change!

Facials everyday of the week! This is where i want to specialise and i love seeing a clients skin look so much better once they have had the treatment. However i cannot stand wraps. They are messy and a fuss and imo are a waste as they dont actually do anything

I do Universal Contour Wrap which isn't that messy and REALLY does do something. Best inch loss a client had with me was 19+1/4inches in just 2 hours! But yes, I'd agree some wraps are a waste of time! Can't say I'd even enjoy getting muddy for nothing as a client either! x

I did debate it but the thought of having to do it for a whole day made me wana hurl myself off a tall building! Lol, im quick at waxing the lower half of the leg but the top half takes me ages an I get all sticky, hot an sweaty which then makes me grumpy haha!!
