FAQ's
"Are body wrap services profitable?"
Set-N-Me-Free Aloe vera & Herb Wraps have a history of repeat clients. Nationwide, 73% of clients who have one wrap will purchase a series of 7 or 12 treatments. Cost for solution is less than $6 per client and one technician can easily wrap 3 clients every 2 hours. Most salons charge the same for wraps and hair perms.
"My salon has no shower. Can I still do Body Wraps?"
Absolutely! The Aloe vera & Herb Body Wrap Solution is completely showerless, and can be massaged in afterward. Clients are instructed to come to their appointment with clean skin. After the wrapping is removed, the client is clean enough to slip into a silk blouse and return to work with no shower. The herbs stay in the pores and continue to work until they are perspired out of bathed off.
"What costs can I expect when I begin Body Wraps?"
Most salons begin with a package that comes complete with Solution, Wrap Cloths, Warming Suits, Aloe Body wash, brochures, posters, and a training DVD. There's also information on easy-to-sell retail products. Combined with these retail products, posters, and the generous number of treatments, the returns can far outweigh the initial costs. Think of it like this: It's not the number of ounces in a gallon of Solution, but the number of sellable treatments!
"4-15 inches lost. Will the inches stay off?"
Set-N-Me-Free Aloe vera & Herb Solution penetrates into the fat cells to move toxins from the fat cells into the lymph system where the client must drink water to flush it from the body. The water must flush away the bulky toxins for the size to stay off. Drink more water to assure the best results.
"What are the most inches a person has lost?"
Most people drop between 4 and 15 inches (10-37cm) with each wrap treatment. That is not a compression and not a water loss. Drinking water after the treament will insure that the size loss will stay off.
The most that I have personally seen lost is 33 inches (75 cm) in one treatment. That was on a sixteen year old that was about 5'9" tall and weighed over 250 lbs. Every place I measured was at least one inch (2cm) off, even on her arms. Many of the measures around the middle of her showed a loss of 2+ inches.
Her clothing just hung on her after the treatment. When fat is young, it moves off faster than fat that has been there for years. The herbs in the solution move toxins form the fat cells to the inner lymphatic system (that creates the size loss). The client can drink lots of water after the treatment to flush the toxic fat from the body.
Use the Aloe Body Wash daily in the shower to keep your pores deep cleaned to allow the solution to penetrate faster and better. With a series of 12 treatments, it is not uncommon for one to lose two full clothes sizes. Remember to reduce the amount you eat to fit your new size. You cannot continue to eat at a size 16 and keep the size off to a size 8. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
Good luck, stay right with it, and you will feel really good.
WRAP CLOTHS
Wrap cloths should be heated to about 150 degrees (hot and steamy) and applied quickly. The technician should work fast enough to wrap an entire body in six minutes. Measuring will take another six minutes. One technician can esily wrap 3 clients in a 2-hour period. The body wrap solutions stay in the body and keep moving toxins for three days. If the client drinks a gallon water each of those three days and returns to the salon for another wrap on the 4th day, every place measured will be considerably smaller than it was after the previous wrap.
