Hi everyone!

I took 2 Bioelements classes today- and I have to say... I think I am leaning back toward my initial inclination of using that line for starting out on.  I learned a LOT about the products and how they can be used and customized and enhanced, and it's pretty impressive!

I think I may have even decided to hold off on PCA skin for now, too.

I had some long discussions with the rep- who was awesome and very straightforward- and she helped me see the wisdom in starting with a single line I can apply toward everyone, AND have a familiarity with already, as I grow in my confidence in my skills/knowledge/ and client base.  After time, I will begin to see where my clients are taking me, or where I want to focus my efforts, and that might be the time to introduce machines or more specific "peel lines".  Meantime, Bioelements has 3 great peels + enzymes.

I may still order a few Skin Scripts products since there is no minimum orders.

There apparently is no official "buy-in" with Bioelements, as long as you work with the rep you get them at spa pricing. There are no quotas, unless you want to try to stay a "Partnership Spa" or the next level up (I forget what that is off-hand).

This actually is giving me piece of mind- financially and educational-wise. I can focus on learning the ins and outs of ONE professional line, perfect my facials and skin-typing skills, and then over time, build upon that to introduce more sophisticated options.

So that is where I am right now. I am going to look at it a little closer to make sure... but it feels right for me for now.

:-)

Has anyone used Nature Pure Labs? I'm really interested in their SolvAGE Microcurrent eye patches, here's the link.. http://www.naturepure.com/2010/06/solvage®-microcurrent-eye-treatment-patches/

Please let me know if anyone has tried these microcurrent eye patches and if they got good results? I want to make sure I get my money's worth!

Has anyone used Astara?  Sounds very nice & very organic.

The reason I originally chose Only Yourx was because I was a newbie and went into biz for myself knowing full well that my education was lacking.  This was 16 years ago but I spent the year prior to getting my license reviewing product lines and found OYx (formerly Prescription Plus) treatments could be performed successfully by anyone due to their terrific printed instructions and education.  I've never regretted my decision, continue to use many of their products and just wish that they would step up to the plate with more retinols, peptides and stem cell options.  Sadly, they don't participate in the trade shows because they'd rather invest their profits in research.  Thus not many estys are familiar with them.  But their basics are great for new estys just getting started and their support materials, especially the analysis and basic facial treatment guides, are the best I've seen to date.  Check 'em out online.

@ Katrina & Gina, I Googled Skin Scripts RX & got their link to this information.

@Gina-I use PCA as a chemical peel/acne treatment line & that is why I am considering Skin Scripts.  

When you do take the Bioelement class, ask a lot of questions about the requirements of your opening order, how much, what products, monthly sales amount required, etc..

Yes, Bioelements does have some nice body treatment, which I have used, but the Massage Warehouse Catalogue had body treatment products which were also comparably as nice.

Gina, look into a line called DNA. I have an esty friend that just loves it who lives in Santa Fe.

@ Katrina- I can't find "organic" either...

@ Heather- can you give us the link where you read that?

I like the no opening order of Skin Script, too, Heather! LOL!!

I really like PCA- but it doesn't seem to have enough in there to do a basic facial...? it's mostly just peels, right? so that's why I feel I need a complimentary line (Bioelements? Skin Scripts? Dermalogica?- actually, I don't think I can afford them right off the bat...) SIGH. it is sooo confusing and overwhelming. I want a simple back bar with a few menu items for starters, that as I gain confidence and grow in my product knowledge I can start to add to..

I am taking a Bioelements class on Monday, so that should help me understand that line better (we used that line in school so I am very familiar with it).

PCA is in April.

But I feel like I need more masking choices- and that's where I was thinking Skin Scripts could come in...

Bioelements does have 2 really nice body treatments that I may implement (Aromatherapy wrap and Herbology wrap). The clients at school always loved those.

For some reason it's not showing the word organic on their official website for Skin Script when I clicked to read "about". I find that important because it can mislead us. You could be right though. Has anyone tried their new limited edition raspberry peach enzyme? I'm tempted to order it.
