You know you’re a Beauty Therapist when...

You think it’s a disaster because you have a tiny blemish or pimple.

You own far more skin care and make-up than you could ever need.

You have more skin care samples than you could ever use.

You notice people’s skin texture, whereas everyone else notices facial features.

You are shocked when women don’t take care of their appearance, hair and nails.

You want to hand over a business card when you see skin conditions, hairy armpits and broken nails, but have to restrain yourself so that you do not insult anyone.

If you could take only one emergency item it would be your makeup bag.

You talk your partner into waxing and taking care of his skin.

You girlfriend asks you to do her make-up, and you tell her on condition she lets you shape her brows.

You have lines, not wrinkles.

You don’t pluck, you tweeze and shape.

Make-up is required, not optional.

As a beauty therapist you can help women conquer the world:

Beauty = Confidence =Success = Happiness

You have makeup and skin care products in your bedroom, bathroom, study, car, handbag and pocket.

You just have to buy the latest product which promises younger, more beautiful skin.

You are obsessed with telling everyone to wear sunscreen, even if it’s not sunny.

It’s not easy stepping out of the house without makeup; you’d rather go without breakfast.

You spend far too much money on skin care treatments and products.

Your saved search on eBay relates to hair, nail and beauty products, books and DVDS.

Most of your website bookmarks are related to beauty and skin care.

Your most watched YouTube videos relate to beauty tutorials.

All your friends and clinets ask; “so what do you think about xyz skin care product?”

All you want to do is give your clients your best and hours of pampering, but you have to watch the clock to ensure you don’t run late for your next client.

In many ways your house resembles a spa with candles, natural elements, water feature, rolled up towels, fresh flowers, luxurious bathroom design, minimalist décor etc.
