A little something that me, @the_ beauty_guru and Jenny from @waxu_uk filmed with @pro_beauty, in which I ramble on about things popping up to say hello, strange smells and getting my face stuck to a client’s bum… Just a regular day at the waxpot

Are mobile beauty businesses killing high-street salons?
Angela Stannard, beauty therapist, commented: “I had a salon for over eight years and have recently closed it and gone mobile, because of rates and the lower prices of other mobile therapists who are using cheaper products, etc. I have not reduced my prices or changed my products; I spent a huge amount of money training for three years and I’m still adding feathers to my cap.”
Donna Peacock, owner of Donna’s Beauty Touch, commented: “I work from home. I’d love to have a shop but the rent is too much. I wouldn’t work for a smaller wage in a spa, but I do get fed up being at home all the time.”
