Humor in the Esthetic cabine
CHEMISTRY Two atoms were walking down the street. One turned to the other and said “I think I lost an electron!” The atom said “Are you sure?” and the reply was “I am positive!” MASSAGE We were moving our premises into a new building and we were experiencing the usual influx of insects and undesirables in the building throughout the months of new operation. The treatment rooms were divided by walls that did not quite meet at the ceilings. One day, I had a massage booked and I started out the treatment with the client lying on her stomach first. Her body was covered as I was performing the massage on her upper shoulders but I was standing at the back of the massage table. As I proceeded to massage the neck area, I noticed a very tiny mouse quickly running along the top of the wall on one side of the room. I am not afraid of mice but I kept a close eye on the creature. All of a sudden, he jumped to the bottom of the table and ran quickly along the towel on the client’s lower body. I was in a panic, should I stop and scare the mouse away or not? The client was asleep and did not seem to notice anything. I decided to wait and see what will happen. The very tiny mouse ran up and down the towel on her lower back and she sighed. I made a hand signal to shoo the mouse and then it scampered away thank goodness. The client sighed and said softly “that was such a lovely vibrating movement on my back, very nice, I could not believe my ears! Perhaps I should hire that mouse for the clinic! WAXING A client booked for a bikini wax. As I was escorting her to the room, she said “I changed my mind; I want the fuzz on my back removed instead”. When she laid down, she said again “it is okay, I will have the bikini done still”. I applied the strip, whipped off the wax, heard a scream and felt a blow on my left arm. The client apologized and I ended up with a bruise on my arm. Of course, the sweet easy going individual I was, I laughed and said “no problem” and finished the waxing with two more strips. The client felt foolish, dressed and left the room. I was doing a waxing on a client’s eyebrows. I normally cover the client’s eyes with cotton pads during the procedure but on this day, I thought to myself “I am so good that I am sure that no wax will drop on the bed”. I was overly confident and as I took the wax and twirled the spatula over to her face, it was a bit liquid so a tiny bit fell on her eyelash! Did I panic? Of course not! Experienced operators never panic. I took cold pads and tried to remove the piece of hot wax that had adhered to her lashes but it would not come out! Did I panic? No siree! The client was so relaxed and felt that she was getting a massage on her brows and face. I tried several times using other liquids but could not remove the wax without ripping her lashes. What did I do then? I took the manicure scissors and cut the tip of a few hairs off then massaged her eyes, then applied mascara on them and some eye makeup to enhance her eyes. The client left and never noticed anything wrong! That was a lesson well learnt, never perform a brow wax without placing eye pads on the client! I never heard a complaint from the client.
Laughter is the best for difficult situations in the cabine.
