Consultations should only take about 5- 10 minutes for most general Beauty and Hair treatments. Unless you have health implications or contraindications which means medical problems, diseases or infections that mean that you might not be able to have the treatment you have booked in for.
All treatments on new clients or clients having a new treatment should have a full consultation.
New clients should expect to be given a record card for them to fill in, which will ask their name, address, telephone number, date of birth, Dr’s name and address and any medication being taken. Also if they have any known allergies.
Then most therapist will sit down with the client, normally in the treatment room, and then go through all the answers and go into more depth regarding medication, and allergies even if the client doesn’t think they are applicable.IE allergic reaction to penicillin or Hay Fever, or more specific like an allergy to tea tree oil, as even if you are having something simple and quick like an eyebrow wax, the wax they (we) use could contain tea tree oil and a reaction could take place leaving a nasty rash.
On all consultations the therapist should go through what exactly they are going to do with you, how they are going to do with you and the after effects you might have, especially if its a more in-depth treatments like electrical treatments or electrolysis.
If they don’t!!
Ask them! Don’t be afraid, you are paying them, don’t let them rush you!
If you don’t feel confident about the therapist. Don’t have it done! You could end up regretting it.
Tip: If you are having your eyebrows waxed! If they don’t hand you a hand mirror, ask for one before you let them wax you so you can show them what you want. Keep hold of it , and keep checking them once they are taking them off.
When there off they can’t go back on and Eyebrow shaping is one of the most common beauty Salon complaints.
