TRIMESTER 2 NEARS THE END

With only one day left of trimester two, I think it's time for an update! There are many new things.

I have now completed my waxing, hot stone massage, reflexology and Indian head massage modules and next trimester I will be completing spa therapies and advanced facials (that I had originally dropped last trimester) and some more student clinic.

There's not much to say about the completed subjects. Waxing was a fairly hard class and also a challenging exam to pass. There are two types of waxing; strip waxing and hot waxing. Strip waxing is used on the arms and legs and other areas where you need to remove a large area of hair growth and it is VERY hard! Some girls had a natural talent for it, but some of us were also really struggling. It's also a fairly physically demanding task! Hot wax is used on sensitive areas (and does not require the use of strips) such as underarms, face and the privates and it's quite simple to use and remove and is very tidy! Strip wax can make one hell of a sticky mess!

I have had a few sessions of student clinic so far. My first was in body treatments which was for massage and manis/pedis. I had one deluxe pedicure client and although I gave her a reasonably good treatment, it ran an hour longer than it was supposed to...oops! And that was the only client I got all day! There was maybe 4 or 5 clients between about 7 girls over the whole day - lots of cancellations. The week after I had tutorials so there were no clients, just practicing skills on other students. Last week was facials/tinting but unfortunately I was off sick with my dodgy gallbladder that day, so will be making it up later, but I heard from others that it was much busier than our first day in body treatments. This Friday I have waxing in student clinic, which is both good and scary - I need the practice, but am working on real, paid clients!

So, waxing in student clinic this Friday and then on to a couple of weeks of holiday! Look forward to another edition next trimester!
