Taste.
.
Taste is very closely linked to smell, to the point that, when I was younger and my mum was trying to get me to eat something I didn’t like, she always told me ‘hold your nose and you won’t be able to taste it’. It is true the flavour was not so strong but I could still taste the food I didn’t like!
.
We all have our ultimate comfort food. This is not just about the flavour, but also the texture and the feel in the mouth too.
.
There are five basic tastes that we can detect: Salt, sweet, sour, bitter and umami (savoury) and then an additional two: pungent (spicy flavours) and astringent (dry/harsh/tart).
.
Most people will find bitter flavours unpleasant. Bitterness can be associated with food that could be considered harmful and best avoided. We tend to go for the main salt, sweet, sour and umami which are considered more of a pleasure to consume. As humans, we are pre conditioned to seek out sweet tasting food and drinks. Foods that contain a lot of artificial flavour enhancers tend to leave an unpleasant after taste, this doesn’t generally leave you wanting more.
.
When offering refreshments to your clients is it also best to avoid caffeine beverages as these can be rather stimulating. Most clients will come to your for relaxation, so it is best to offer calming, hydrating and pleasant drinks like herbal or fruit tea or even just plain water and served at a temperature that is expected. Sometimes, food and drink at an unexpected temperature can be a bit of a shock. For example: Most people will drink hot tea and will expect it to be hot, if served cold without warning this can be an unusual surprising taste sensation. We tend to imagine soup to be served hot, if it is cold it’s a bit tricky to wind down.
.
It’s also easier to eat better if the healthy option tastes good too!

The senses - hearing
From the minute your client walks into your salon and treatment room any sounds she hears need to sooth her hearing, promote tranquillity and a feeling of relaxation. It is unfortunate if your neighbour decides that very moment to have building works done, those sorts of sounds are difficult to avoid or disguise.

It is considered that the sounds of nature are the most relaxing, like the waves on the shore, soft rain, the wind rustling through the forest trees, trickling or running water and birds chirping and talking in a calm soft voice. These sounds, although constant, do not form a regular pattern. When we hear a regular pattern we tend to focus on the sound too much and this can then become distracting and even irritating; just like that dripping tap. Some sounds can even make a person angry and aggressive. We all tend to flinch at the sound of nails on a chalk board.

Did you know that smells can trigger the memory to remember events that are long forgotten? Just by remembering a particular smell can stimulate the brain into actually smelling it. read our #blog

Our round yellow sponges are essential for facial treatments for the removal of, not only, masks but other facial preparations like cleansers and scrubs. They are soft, gentle, absorbent and super effective at removing even the most stubborn clay based masks, the richest of cleansers and the thickest of make-ups.

These sponges are also perfect for manicure and pedicure treatments too.

They are reusable, however for hygiene I have always used a fresh pair of sponges for each client. I then give the sponges to my client at the end of their treatment as a gift.

Why use a fan brush to apply your face masks?

Using a fan brush to apply face masks will not only ensure an even application but you will also use less product. This will make your treatments more cost effective and feel more professional for your client to receive rather than applying the mask with your fingers.

It feels so much nicer for the client to have the mask to be applied with a brush and she/he will enjoy a more professional experience.

A brush glides over the skin and into all

A good posture is essential for a long pain free career. A bad posture will not only take its toll on your body but also how you work.

Try to make changes to your working environment to help yourself as much as possible. This can be from having your tools at an easy accessible height and distance from you. Having a therapist’s chair that is fully adjustable in height and back rest. Your work station/table needs to be of a suitable height for yourself and it is vital you choose a couch that is the correct height and the legs can be adjusted in height to work on different treatments on a range of clients. For example when you are massaging a very slim client your couch will need to be higher than if you are massaging a larger client with a fuller figure. The range of body shapes can make your ‘work surface’ differ in 6inches. So to be able to alter the height of your couch in these circumstances is vital. Trying to massage a client that is on a couch that is too high for you will result in a poor treatment experience for your client.

Working at awkward angles and heights for yourself will result in...

To help prevent straining the wrists, try using your forearm for effleurage strokes, your forearms are ideal for these long sweeping movements and you will cover a larger surface area and this feels amazing for the client to receive.
For other intricate beauty treatments for example: electrolysis, facial treatments, manicure and pedicure treatments you need to keep your wrists, hands and fingers strong, flexible and supple. You need to make sure you exercise, stretch and relax your hands and fingers on a regular basis to help prevent fatigue and strains. Constant over use can result in conditions such as: arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Tendinitis, RSI to name a few. At the first signs of discomfort or an issue do seek medical advice straightaway.

The constant pressure you put on your hands, fingers and thumbs during a massage, reflexology and beauty treatments will take its toll and you need to start looking after them and start investigating alternative techniques to relieve the stress your hands are under every day.
During massage treatments the use of your elbows can be as effective and sometime more so by being able to apply more pressure without this force being focused through your thumbs/fingers. This takes a little practice to develop the same sensitivity through your elbow as your hands and it is a good idea to use the other (free) hand as a guide.

Your hands are essential for work. You take them for granted and assume that your hands will not let you down. Performing treatments is physically demanding on your entire body. You need a lot of strength in your hands, arms and upper body, as well as good posture.
