Hello guys I’m Sergio

I have studied to be a Beautician in IES Ramon y Cajal. In April I went to London to do my intership in La Durbin Boutique Salon. In this salon I’m working doing manicures, pedicures, facials, makeups, waxing and other treatments. 

My co-workers are fantastic people, they are Natalia, Shiba, Codruta and Holly. My experience in London is really good, I love this city but sometimes I feel only because my family and friends are far away.

London is a city where you can do everything. You will  also find a lot of oportunities to work  I hope to work in London for a long time.

I recommend you to do an Erasmus+ internship next year. It can be a unique experience and opportunity for you. Thanks to the Erasmus+ cell at school!!!.

I took some photos in London and in my beauty salon for you. Hope that you like them. I also wrote some useful sentences I use a lot every day.

When the client gets to the salon. Cuando llega la clienta al salón:

Good morning/ afternoon! Evening!
Would you like glass of champagne or another drink (coffee, tea….)?
Can you follow me, please?
Can you give me your jacket? Can I have your jacket?
Please take a seat.

To do the facial . Para hacer el facial:

First you talk with the client and you tell her that she should take off her shoes and top and she can put on a towel:

“Take off your shoes and top, please. You can put on a towel”.

When she lies on the beauty bed: “Can you put your feet here and your head here, please?” (cuando se pone en la camilla)

Then you ask here:

“How do you feel you skin?”
“What is your everyday treatment?”
“Have you got any allergies?”
“Are you pregnant?” If the client says “yes”, you don’t use the oil for the facial or other treatments.

After that you can do the facial.

When you finish the treatment, you should sell her products for her skin.

For example: “I recommend you this moisturiser cream because your skin is dry and when I did the facial, I saw that your skin is very sensitive and it’s necessary to protect it.”
