Carrie Patrick replied to Lori Taylor's discussion Idea for Giving Back"I think those are all great ideas! Did your MT see this article in Massage & Bodywork magazine about community service? I think a lot of it is applicable to estheticians too, or really to any type of business. Massage & Bodywork: The Value…"

Carrie Patrick replied to Summerr's discussion genbook or full slate?"If price is one of the deciding factors, make sure you're comparing the prices with the ASCP discount (since I see you're a member). Full Slate gives ASCP members a pretty big discount."
Carrie Patrick replied to Naz Panjwani's discussion I need help in trying new products for my practice before I carry it to retail!"Welcome Tabatha! I like Paula Begoun's site too, and have bought some of her line for my own use and really, really like it. I think Paula's site and Marta's are both incredibly good resources for user reviews. I worked with Marta on…"
Carrie Patrick replied to Crickett Enos's discussion Men performing Brazilians....Would you get one?"I had to think about this for a while, but I've decided it would not make a difference to me whether the esthetician was male or female. I would be slightly more comfortable with a female, not for privacy reasons, but just because I think…"
Carrie Patrick replied to J Delgado's discussion Professional License from other country"If she's not licensed to practice medicine in the USA then she should not be practicing medicine in the USA ... simple as that ... it is both illegal and unethical."
Carrie Patrick replied to Sandra Hicks's discussion esthetics for cancer patients and cancer survivors"There's a one-hour free ASCP webinar coming up on June 25 on the topic of oncology esthetics. No registration link yet, sorry, but that will be available closer to the date. It's presented by Dr Kevin Schewe who is a radiation oncologist…"
Carrie Patrick replied to Nicola Shahan's discussion Insurance"I would guess that most of the estheticians posting here have ASCP insurance, since the site is run/moderated by us at ASCP. So, obviously I'm biased, but I can tell you a bit about that insurance (and of course if anybody has comments about…"
Carrie Patrick posted a discussionWhat are your seasonal themed treatments/marketing?
Following on from Jesse's question about Mother's Day treatments ... what other seasonal themes is everyone planning this year, or what are some good ones you've done in the past? Summer, winter, special holidays, or whatever? Or do you prefer not to offer holiday-themed services at all? Looking for everyone's ideas, for the next issue of Skin Deep magazine!See More
Carrie Patrick replied to Sheila Baydo's discussion New Esto in WA"Nope, no microphone needed, just regular computer speakers or headphones so you can hear the sound. You will be able to type questions for the presenter if you have any."
Carrie Patrick replied to Sheila Baydo's discussion New Esto in WA"Sheila, if you're not a member of ASCP, you can get webinar invitations by emailing Kirsten at getconnected@ascpskincare.com and just say you want to be added to the list for webinar notifications. We have at least 1-2 webinars every month and…"
Carrie Patrick replied to Janelle Foley's discussion skin care menu"We had this article in the Jan/Feb Skin Deep magazine that might give you some useful ideas: Zen Your Menu. It's really more about redesigning an existing spa menu for better results, but I think it's equally applicable to creating a new…"
Carrie Patrick replied to Brittnee's discussion Wondering what I'm doing wrong"Hi Britnee, welcome to the forum!
What's your question exactly - choosing a product line, or getting clients through your door, or both? If you're having trouble getting clients, were you doing okay at the previous spa before the owner…"
Carrie Patrick replied to Jodi Braun's discussion Leaving Clients Alone During Treatment?"That would bother me a lot as a client. You stop relaxing and start worrying about whether they've forgotten about you, whether you're supposed to be doing something, when they're going to come back ... just totally not cool, apart…"
