Here's the truth, being a beauty therapist isn't always as calm and polished as it looks in Instagram. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. The transformations, the chats, the calm spa music playing while I work my magic, that's my happy place. But behind the scenes? Lets just say things can get a little... lively. We love a bit of organised chaos right?!
The Funny Bits
There are days when I'll suddenly realise I've got wax on my arm, a bit of product in my hair, or crumbs on my top from the snack I grabbed between clients. Classic!
And don't get me started on my online shopping habits. I'll go on to order a few essentials for the salon and somehow end up with a basket full of things I definitely don't need but absolutely adore because they're pretty. I get hypnotised by their beauty okay, it's the products fault, not mine! It's not polished but it's real and to be honest, I prefer it that way.
The Chatty Therapist Chronicles
And then there's the talking. Oh, the talking. When I click with a client, we can go from skincare to deep life chats in about three minutes. Before I know it, we've laughed, overshared and probably fixed the world at least twice. I'll admit, sometimes that means I run a little over time. It's never because I don't care- quite the opposite! I just genuinely love connecting with people and making sure everyone leaves feeling cared for and heard. I'm always working on balancing that with keeping things running smoothly. Still, those chats are some of my favourite moments. They turn appointments into friendships and remind me why I love this job so much.
The Heart of it All
Then there are those beautiful, quiet moments; when someone looks in the mirror after a facial and you can see the shift. Their shoulders relax, their skin glows and there's this sense of peace that fills the room. That's why I do what I do. Even on the chaotic, over-caffeinated, 'why is there wax on my shoe?' kind of days. Behind the chaos there's care and that's BEA.ZEN Beauty- real, humans and full of heart.
