Julia Reika, holistic therapist and mental health counsellor, Inner Path Alchemy, Greater Manchester: “It’s so amazing that you are covering this topic.

Helen Ashley, Helen Ashley Make-up and Beauty, Penrith: “Fillers, Botox, threads…but I also think there should be an opportunity for people who aren’t from a medical background to study a three-year degree to become suitably qualified. A nursing degree is three years, so let’s have an aesthetics degree for those who want to pursue this career.”
Jemma Thompson, nail technician, Nails by Jemma, Whitehaven: “Anything beauty related should be licensed with an accessible programme to enable all to achieve the licensing.”

Lorna MacLennan, owner, Pretty Beautiful, Bishopton: “If it’s for nails, I do offer two brands. However, I have two lamps, one for each brand. Why? Because I’m a professional and I only have my clients’ nail health at the forefront of everything I do.”
Michelle Barnden, owner, Lush Beauty, Tamworth: “One brand. I like to know that they won’t react and cause problems.”

Megan MacKintosh, beauty therapist, Opal Beauty, Midlothian: “One brand. I’m in the middle of fully transitioning to a new brand and it’s the best decision I’ve made.”
