Cottage Beauty Blog

May 24, 2011

I had an interesting experience at the “Ministry of Wax” in London at the week-end. This very slick organisation has perfected the art of all tpes of waxing in super quick time. Very hygienic, no double dipping and a very polite and friendly service. I am not surprised they are successful.  I hope you appreciate my devotion to duty! What is it they say -” No pain, no gain! ”  I was impressed. I can offer a workshop just using hot wax for anyone who is not feeling confident with this type of hair removal. Please contact me if you would like to attend.

I have also just launched a new marketing workshop for anyone who would like lots of information, tips and hints relating to “growing your business”. I do  hope this is something that you will benefit from? Check out my timetable on www.traininginbeauty.co.uk for more details. 

Another bank holiday approaches, hurrah, a good reason to take some time off. The work/life balance is improving by the month. After 7 years I have finally learnt that it can not be all work. I know I am a slow learner!

Many interesting conversations are heard within my four walls and also many funny comments. The general opinion on the last Swedish massage course was that as therapists we all preferred to have some “flesh” to massage. That seems to me a good enough reason not to diet this week!

I am looking forward to training in the new semi-permanent mascara that is now advertised. I have worked for some time with “Flirties” and very much like their lash extension products. I hope soon to be able to offer this new “mascara” technique at my training centre. I can think of many clients that would be enthusiastic to have this done.

The hard work that Wendy and I have put into marketing our Prescents salon is now fully fledged. We are regularly full and have established a great customer database. It can seem a bit disheartening when it takes time to create the growth you would like but persistance does pay off along with some “smart” marketing schemes.  Remember to monitor the links that people use to find you and don`t be afraid to try new things.

I have now re-organised my “Cottage training” facebook page and would love you to join as friends if you haven`t already? You can keep up with the latest information and any offers that I will be doing.  Just type in Cottage training on facebook and I am easy to find.

One thing that I have experienced recently is a problem with some of the bottles I use for my Prescents products. I love the simple clean blue bottles but occassionally they leak. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it? I have spoken to my supplier and they do not seem to think it should be an issue. I would appreciate any feedback.

Bad practice – Remember that careless talk can lose you clients. If you discuss clients to others you are breaching database regulations. Don`t use their names and be careful who may overhear.

Good practice – Offering something to your loyal customers, they really will appreciate it.
