What would you like from a beauty Therapist?

A question- how would you like your beauty Therapist to be? Chatty? Quiet? What do you love/hate when you visit a beauty salon? What would make your experience the best xxx

Quiet therapist who has SHORT nails.

I stopped having facials,and massages as all therapists have long/acrylic/gel nails. They think they can mask this by sort of bending their finger tips upwards.

It just sucks

Have given up to be honest!

My particular bugbear is the pseudoscientific theories they offer as gospel. Usually about vitamins being absorbed through the skin.

Soft spoken. Gentle. Calm. Short nails. Not rushed.
The actual salon, similar. Don't mind a bit of plinky plonky spa type music but quiet. Nice spa smell, candles.

I can do most spa treatments at home except massages so if I go to a salon it's for the whole experience rather than just the results. It should feel like a luxurious treat.

No idea if any of that is any help.

Oh and room temperature is important. Never cold but too hot is equally awful.

Be ready to do the treatment rather than have to faff with door/phone/kit during treatment or running in and out of room.

A quiet treatment room - no stomping up and down stairs or phones going or chatting from other customers- just quiet!

And my biggest bug bear is remove any crap from under the massage table - a bin full of rubbish is the last thing I want to be staring at during a massage!

Personally I love chatting while having nails/lashes/whatever done.
