Germaine de Capuccini even has their own professional skin diagnostic machine that allows the therapist to carry out a thorough skin evaluation, measuring parameters such as hydration, health of the stratum corneum, sebum and melanin activity and elasticity of the skin. This allows the therapist to quickly review the skin’s progress and make the necessary adjustments to their treatment protocols. It also allows them to present to the client the progress that is happening. Engaging the client in such a way helps them gain trust in your services and motivates them to stay committed to the program.

3. When you observe successful salons and spas what characteristics and strategies are they implementing that ensure they do not become victims of the current economic crisis?

I asked our “Therapist of the Year” that question only a few weeks ago. I would like to share with you what Julie, from Diamond Clinic on Unley – Adelaide said, as she is a living example of how you can ensure you survive no matter what is happening to the economy:

1. Don’t sell products – sell their benefits and the results for the client.

2. Prescribe – You are a professional, you have studied to allow you to make the right choices. Don't be afraid of recommending products. You need to give a complete solution to your client’s problems, and homecare is 70% of that solution.

3. Listen 80% and talk 20%. This shows genuine interest and care. Be highly knowledgeable and confident in your products. Share with them any studies, statistics or testimonials you have on the products or treatments you are recommending. Clients want to know what to expect. Be truthful and honest about the realistic expectations of your treatments.

4. Ask about their main concern and treat that first. Win their trust and respect as a priority, then they will not hesitate to follow your recommendations.

5. Educate, educate and educate yourself. Knowledge is power and the key to business success!

5. Are there any new product developments that Germaine de Capuccini has recently launched and where do they fit in terms of consumer demand? Germaine de Capuccini has a very well resourced Research and Development Department at the company headquarters located in Alcoy, Spain. Germaine de Capuccini constantly revises existing products and release, new products, not only to keep up with consumer demand, but also to take advantage of the latest improvements in ingredients and biomedical technologies.

One of our latest releases is an advanced anti-ageing cream called
