I haven't had my license for very long, and I've already left 3 different salons/spas.

Why did I just "give up" these jobs when I know so many others are struggling to look for just one?

Honestly, I felt extremely uneasy-- to put it basically, I felt like I didn't belong there. The little voice inside, coupled with a literal gut-wrench experience whenever I prepared to go to work propelled me to ultimately leave.

I could get into how I felt…

Fresh flowers in the bathroom, changing room and entry make a wonderful welcome statement for grand openings.  I use fresh herbs from my garden with purchased flowers to welcome my clients. Music is a big deal with me, as it also sets the mood.  My clients love to hear about the past owners of my home and the history behind it.  My practice room was once the music room that held a piano so I share how the love of beautiful music is still here, in the walls.  Of course I use soothing piano…

I had a client call to book a waxing appt and after I hung up the phone I felt un easy about taking her appt. She came in later and was LATE!!! and did not say anything! I was going over her intake form before her brazilian waxing service and I noticed she checked yes for using Retin -A. So I asked her when was the last time she used it. She said 2 weeks. I told her unfortunately that was a contraindication for waxing and that I would not be able to wax her until she was off of it for at…

I'll return a phone call to an Esty that has left me a message about a piece of equipment or she's just needing some help with something. She (or he) will answer the phone only to tell me they are doing a facial and can't talk right now. They are…

Are any of you frustrated by the adds on Groupon and Living Social for discounted treatments.  As professionals I feel we've shot ourselves in the foot. In these tough times there is little loyalty and many of our clients ( even our most loyal) are just jumping from sale to sale

You can determine whether a person is in the warm or cool category by the person's skin and hair color. Holding a white sheet of paper next to a client's skin often helps determine if the client has a warm or cool skin tone, as the white paper serves as a base of comparison. Knowing a client's skin tone is important in make-up design in order to choose colors that complement a client's natural coloring.

Does anyone know what the state laws/regulations are for administering Botox in the states of Kansas and Missouri??

Anytime I have a personal service completed, either I ask how I should add the tip, i.e. should I add to the initial total or should I add after the fact, etc. Or, the professional asks me if I would like to add the tip. I’m asking, because I am finally rebooking clients (yea!!!), but they aren’t tipping. My insecurities make me think that they hated the service, but then they are returning. Then it makes me think that they aren’t tipping, because I’m not asking.…

I signed up our Estheticians to attend a Speed waxing class focused on Bikini, Brazilians, and body waxing.  Has anyone taken one of her classes or seen her at a wax show?  Just wondering how it was.  This is purely a demo class being held in Cleveland but I'm hoping it can provide tips and tricks for improving efficiency with these services.  Thanks for your feedback!
