Would you use an older beauty therapist?

[Butwhhhyyyyyyy]

I'm a beauty therapist and looking to set up my own business and add fillers and permanent makeup to my resume. I have been off for 15 yrs raising DC and am ready to work now. I am currently 47 and am wondering if people would rather go to a younger therapist or would be happy to go to an older one, may just be a crisis of self really but I have to ask. Thanks

I have never thought about the age of my beauty therapists before. The only thing I care about is how good a job they do. With younger therapists I sometimes feel I need to explain very clearly what I want as the style of a 20 year old is not always the same as that of a 40 year old and I have had some bad experiences, so in a way it would be good to have a beauty therapist who is on the same wave-length age-wise.

Yes. Especially a waxer. The older waxers are more ruthless and don't faff around.

Yes definitely

47 isn't old!

I'd much prefer a woman who knows what she's doing than an over-made up, hideously false-eyelashed 20-something with scary beetle eyebrows.

Show your existing & potential clients how to be stylish & sophisticated at 47 - don't replicate the TOWIE/Made in Chelsea look.

Made me laugh @catandthefiddle, those eyebrows scare me, I don't think I'm old at 47 but going it alone can be scary, I know my market though and can but try.
