  • :A hello ladies. i have really enjoyed reading all your posts.
    i am a beauty therapist, when i was at college alot of the girls (including myself!) really struggled to get enough clients in to complete their assessments.
    usually girls would bring in their friends and family members but because we live an quite a rural area this was not always possible!
    i urge all of you now to get on the phone and give your local college a call!
    im sure they would love to hear from you. all classes/treatment sessions are supervised and (most) students work to a very high standard!!
    enjoy your pampering sessions!!!

    Hi everyone. I agree with KatieLovesPennies. My daughter is just completing her level 3 in beauty therapy and for the last three years it is all based upon them bringing in their own clients where possible. The colleges are working colleges so whilst you get a huge reduction on the cost, bear in mind that they are still training and therefore learning.

    I have had many treatments and its great. From a students point of view it is very hard as if there aren't any clients coming into the salon and you cannot get a friend/family memeber then you really struggle to complete your practicals.

    I think she is panicking now as has about 3 weeks left and about 9 more to be signed off. However the college will have its usual last minute rush to find people.
  • Could you send me the adresse? I need to go urgent!!! Thankssssss

    The local colleges are a good way of getting this sort of treatment without breaking the bank. At my college I've had cut and blow dry with more prodcts than you can shake a stick at for £6, as good ,if not sometimes better ,than the hairdressers. Also had hi and low lights for £10 ,really excellent ,and a french manicure and hand massage for £4.50.
    The students take a bit longer than usual but are so careful and are under the watchful eye of the teacher at all times.
    Last week I couldn't get an appointment at the college and had to go to the hairdressers instead and for £25 got the most useless haircut that made me look much older than I am,all in 30 minutes.
    I've learnt my lesson.

  • I have had an awful experience at London Esthetique.

    I was getting married last month and decided to go for some pampering beforehand, I got my nails, pedicure, inch loss body wrap and a facial. I got an electric shock from this thing the guy was using on my face and the area was sore and irritated for some time after and the lady that did my pedicure was horrendous!!!

    She was plowing away at my toe for quite a while with this thing to remove the cuticles and then she painted the toes, it wasn't a great job and I didn't want her to go over it as I'd had enough, when I got back from my honeymoon the pedicure had worn off and I found to my horror a hole in my nail!!
    I was hoping that the hole would seal up as time went by it's now one month later and instead of getting better it's getting worse half of the nail is now loose and I think I may be loosing the whole nail!!
  • Am surprised this thread hasn't seen more action given the recession!

    But a useful website for people who are interested in modelling for college courses in hair and beauty etc is http://www.salonguineapig.co.uk/ - it's free to sign up and you can choose which treatments you are interested in modelling for. Then people in your local area can search for models, and send you a message if they would like you to model for them. Alternatively, people can post "requirements" on the site, where they need a model for a particular course, and then you can send them a message, saying that you are interested in being their model...

    I'm studying an HNC in Beauty and we struggle to get enough clients!!!

    Although for HNC we do need "case studies" to come in for 3 weeks at a time and so on.

    So far I've got to be a client for "spa therapies" i.e. exfoliation, body mud mask and full body moisturisation. Get to get a massage every week too. Pure bliss....

    Gonna look into hairdressing tho, may be a guinea pig for them.
