you also have the chance to
speak to our dermatologists and get additional information about a particular product or skin
condition. After you complete the course you also get a certificate which proves that you are
fully qualified to use our products. If you join this programme, we include
your salon on the list
of our recommended salons and give you the opportunity to advertise in our magazine, which
we publish once a month.

My Wish!
Mia first got this
……………………….. (WONDER)
idea of opening a
………………………..
(BEAUTIFUL)
salon one day when she was still a little girl. While all her friends were playing with dolls
she was mixing some ingredients she had found on the ground and pretended she was making a beauty cream.
Everyone thought she was pretending to be a chef. All until college she had already forgotten about her
dream of being a
beauty
………………………..(THERAPY)
, but she
………………………..
(CONSIDER)
the idea again after finishing her
………………………..(STUDY)
.
Mia decided to
……………………….. (FILL)
her dream and started
……………………….. (SAFE)
money for the salon. Last week she finally got her loan
……………………….. (APPLY)
from the bank
and the
……………………….. (APPROVE) that
now she can make
………………………..
(INVEST)
into her business.
She
wants to have three big,
……………………….. (BEAUTY)
decorated rooms. One room will serve as
a
……………………….. (WAIT)
room and reception. She wishes to put a
………………………..
(COMFORT)
sofa in it and a counter desk with a computer. This room will lead to the second one in which
therapies and
……………………….. (TREAT)
will be performed. The
………………………..
(LAST)
will contain all the necessary
……………………….. (EQUIP)
needed for a therapy. She already
decided that it would be
……………………….. (FURNITURE)
in dark violet colour.
She read that this
colour has a
……………………….. (RELAX) ……………………….. (EFFECTIVE)
on the client
and besides, it is also very
……………………….. (TREND) ………………………..(DAY)
. The
……………………….. (THREE)
room will be used as
……………………….. (STORE)
for all the
products.
If the business goes well she
thinks there is a
……………………….. (POSSIBLE) of
……………………….. (EXPAND)
and also start offering other treatments, such as massages and
someday she may even consider the
……………………….. (INCLUDE) of
sauna and the
……………………….. (CREATE) of
her very own little spa centre.
