Hi Ladies,
I am brand new to this site, and was wondering if i could gain some well needed advise from the ladies that know please?
As my youngest will be starting school this year i am finally able to start doing something for myself (yippee:)). I have always wanted to get into the beauty world, and my lovely husband recently surprised me by treating me to my Mannual Application Tanning course which ive absolutely loved, and will finish (and pass) this month. I am this week calling brands to ask for samples so i can decide which to take on ( i trained with st tropez products which ive had no complaints with at all but feel i need to try others first)
I will be going mobile and turning a room in my home into a treatment room, and the idea is that the pennies i make on treatements i will set aside and use to pay for my next course.. this week i thought to book a waxing course (as ive been told its good for money turnover,) ..However, since speaking to these companies it seems spray tanning should perhaps be my next port of call so i could offer the mannual tan for clients that enjoy more of a treatement and spray tans for general tanning.. Im very confused :confused:
So do you think,
A) keep the mannual only for a while and do the waxing, then spray tanning or
B) go for spray tanning next, offer both types, then go for waxing??
Sooooo sorry for such a long post, just thought if i explained my background it may help to see where im at, and a big thankyou in advance for any replies x

I would probably go for the spray tanning course first as you can make more money for the least amount of time and get more treatments in - so that would mean you could save up for your waxing course a bit quicker :green:

Your spray tan training will be a one day course - your waxing training will be a lot longer, as there is more to learn.

but which eve way you do them - best of luck hun, you will love it!! x
