Now that I am getting more practice massages, it was time to buy some more massage cream and oil.
The lovely massage cream, which came from morocco, that ladyM gave me for my birthday, is almost finished and I wanted to save the last for Geoff when he gets home from Dubai.
So off I went to find sally salon services a local trade shop for hair and beauty products.
I managed to get cream and oil ,not as good quality as I hope to use but it takes time to find the right cream/oil.
I qualify for a student trade card too so this will help me save some money while I am still training.
Now my dilemma is , when should I start charging for a massage.
Originally I thought I would not charge till I had qualified, but now I am thinking maybe I should give one massage free then charge a small amount to cover for my cream/oil
Hopefully this would not put people off as I need to get my practice massages.
Here is a good blog post by Steve Pavlina about exactly your dilemma http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/12/working-for-free/\
Fancy that huge pot going so quickly 🙂
People only really value what they pay for IMHO
