The Beauty Salon and Its Equipment, Second Edition is concerned with the many pieces of equipment which are available to assist the therapist in treating clients. These are not all confined to the salon and many therapists will have the opportunity to work in health centres, sports centres and health farms and will have to treat clients in the pool or the gymnasium. In untrained hands many of these pieces of equipment have the potential to do a great deal of harm to the client. The main aim of this text is to highlight the necessity for the therapist to get to know the equipment well enough to be able to perform the treatments effectively, with confidence, and above all, in complete safety. This book explores much further than the basic requirements of the various syllabuses on beauty therapy and will form the ideal starting point for assignment and project work. It will also serve as a valuable reference book for professional therapists to use throughout their working lives. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to embrace recent developments and legislation regarding the use of machines and equipment in the salon.
