Feedback Friday

Test Drive

         Welcome to Feedback Friday. It's that time of the week again when I answer your questions. I will answer one question each Friday. You may ask questions in the comment box or email me at 2monicawheeler@gmail.com. And remember, there are no dumb questions. 

                So here we go.

This week's question is from Cheryl.  She ask.......

      I purchased a machine to use during facial treatments from a friend who is also an Esthetician. There are some attachments that I am not familiar with. I used a machine  similar to it when I was in school, so it's not completely foreign to me.  I'm starting a new job in a week.

     PLEASE HELP! 

Cheryl,

       My first suggestion for you would be to ask your friend to demonstrate the machine for you. Since both of you are Estheticians, you shouldn't have any problem finding someone to be your client, maybe a daughter, mom, or sister. 

       One of the benefits of buying from someone you know or locally,  is being able to really be sure before you buy. You said that you have already purchased the piece but I would still ask your friend come to your spa and go over everything with you. 

       But lets say you and your friend are not able to get together before next week when you start you new job. Do your research. Find the company that sells your machine. All the equipment suppliers that I have dealt with have been very helpful with explaining and answering any questions that I have had, whether I purchased directly from them or not. They want you to purchase from them in the future, so don't worry about asking for help. Making this contact will help in the future also. You may have to replace a part here and there. So having the manufacturer's phone number ready at hand will help when that time comes. 

Play before you pay

       When you purchase online, you dont have the option to take a test drive. But buying locally or from someone you know, you should always give it a spin. Don't think.this will offend anyone. If it does, that's a red flag. So go ahead check it out, try it out and kick the tires. And if you have the option................

                                   PLAY BEFORE YOU PAY.

Thank you for the question. I hope this helps.
