Title: Howdy!
Post by: liana kay on May 28, 2009, 08:20:12 PM
 Hi , im a hairdresser looking to start yet another hobby - that i could possibly run alongside at some point - but not now as im freelance . Just up for a bit of experimenting really always been interested in science  and alternatively- green things  and self sufficancey.
 Could anyone please tell me if you need to ge a safety assessment for something as simple as a bath bomb - bicarb ,citric acid few drops of lavender oil - im doing a jewellery stall in September and thought they may look pretty on the side , but as id be running it though my business i need everything to be ok .

Hello Liana,

Soap and bath products would go well with hairdressing (as well as shampoo etc.) - but unfortunately you do need a cert even for a simple bath bomb.

Take a good look round 'cos there's loads of info.

Hi Liana!!

A very warm welcome to the forum.  Ooh...  having a lovely collection of goodies at the reception desk would be just too tempting for your clients.  You will also really enjoy making them too  ;)  You may start with bath bombs but be warned, you will branch out doing other things too.  Imagine, doing a signature treatment using a lovely mix of oils, scalp massage and lovely shiny locks to finish....  ah....  such a ferapeutic experience for your clients that would really set the salon apart from the rest  ;)

Anyway, I ramble...  welcome and enjoy it here  :)

Cant wait to ge started theres just the small matter of my kitchen and bathroom being gutted to get around first -  oh and the hairdressing/jewellery business and not frgeting the 2 kids around here somewhere - actually it would be nice to involve my son in the  x mas present making - so melt and pour i guess!

Hi. Like the others say I think it would compliment your business beautifully. Yes you do have to certified  ooh god I love saying that :mwaha:, but it could be a worth while investment.

However as Corrie says be warned ...its addictive lol
