    Here's an article that I wrote for Skin Deep that came out last May.

    How can I get more information on purchasing the European Herbal Green Peel discussed in the latest Skin Deep Magazine?  It sounds like just the peel my clients have been looking for!

    @Robin, there is one called Herbal A-Peel from Alex Cosmetics...www.alexcosmeticusa.com.  There is also the Green Peel by Dr. med. Christine Schrammek at www.schrammek.de/greenpeelusa.html.  I have not personally used these so I don't know if they are good, but I saw them in Dermascope, and the description matched what the Skin Deep article was describing. Hope that helps.

    As a sole-proprietor I do not participate in the coupon deals such as Groupon as they bring in price shoppers who tend to not be loyal and are always looking for the next good deal.  I do believe these programs can be valuable to larger businesses that draw walk-ins as a regular part of their business.  They have the staff to handle last minute walk-ins and might possibly get them to rebook if they have a good experience.

    I am a new Esthetician working in a salon and day spa. I am promoting with buy a facial/get a facial introductory offer. Also a punch card stating buy 6 facials get the 7th at 1/2 price and the same for body treatments. I also want to do a Book a Friend promo. I am looking for more ideas from other expert Estheticians that they have found to work for them to keep loyal customers?

    @ Kristin:

    I think the best advice I could give you was gained by personal experience..NEVER give your services away! Do not drastically reduce them either. I know how badly you want clients, but believe me, there are better ways to get and KEEP clientele. Add-ons are a great way to bring in clients...what is more valuable than time? Spend an extra 10-15 minutes doing arm or hand massage...things like that...I have a client who has been with me for 5 years now and she gets 90 minutes everytime she comes in (started at a 60 min service) and now I give her a glycolic hand treatment during her facial as well...stellar customer service is the key...when you appreciate your clients (and they truly know it) they will remain loyal, tell their friends and family and you get to live your passion.  If you want feedback from clients, give them a little questionnare at the end of their service...tell them if they fill it out and bring it back at their next appt they get 10% discount (or something extra) and get them to re-book right there. People do not want gimmicks (at least customers who want to be loyal) they want to be treated as if they are the only clients you have :) Best of luck to you!
