I'd be careful. If they're doing extractions without that proper lamp and all, it could make things worse. You might get more breakouts after, which is the last thing you want.

This is important. Ask to test a small strand first, and look at it in proper daylight. The colour under your house lights can lie to you, and then you're stuck with a shade you didn't want.
Not checking the makeup in the right light. It might look great in your room but then in photos or outside, it can look too light or really heavy and cakey. It's a big thing to miss.
Get your Google Business Profile right - it's free. Put good photos, list your services, ensure your open hours are correct, and ask happy clients to leave reviews. This makes a huge difference in who finds you when they search.
Modern apps are designed knowing not everyone is tech-savvy. They walk you through the process - add photos, set your timings, turn on bookings. If you're stuck, there's usually someone you can ask for help.
Pictures - especially really good before-and-after pictures for major services like keratin treatments or bridal makeup. When clients see these, they believe you know what you're doing.
A booking system that updates automatically and sends reminders to clients significantly reduces these headaches by preventing double-booking. If you encounter technical issues, you can contact support for assistance.

No. Let's be real. It can clean it out, make it feel better for a bit. But the big, deep stuff? The machines they have at a proper clinic for that aren't coming to your house. It's more for upkeep, not a cure.
That's so frustrating! It could be the water. At home, they might use really warm water because it's comfortable, but that can wash away your skin's own oils. So even with the hydrating stuff they put on, your skin feels tight and dry afterward.
You have to be so careful. Like, non-negotiable, ask for a patch test a full day before. Put a little bit of every product behind your ear. If your skin has a history of eczema or just freaking out, doing this in a non-clinic place is a bigger risk. It might not be worth it.
Look up what salons nearby charge and consider charging a little less, but not so little that you're working for free. Be clear about separating service costs from travel fees if you go to clients' homes. Charging too little can make you look unsure and attract clients who argue over prices.
