I have one on the right front side of my hair line....

I am growing my hair again...has anyone else got one? I want to see what methods other people use, to make the hair lay as flat as possible?

What products / drying / straightening techniques are best for making the hair lay flatter?

I'm pretty new to this and have been reading a lot of stuff on here. The course I did provided me with a kit which included tips but I would like to try some of the CND tips (as well as other stuff) after reading all the good things a lot of you say about this make. Thing is. My course did not teach me anything about blending tips (just stick them on and overlay)or removing the shine from them. Also, can I use the glue I have with CND tips or do I need to buy theirs? If I have to blend them, how do I do that. Sorry for being long winded but any help and advice would be apreciated. :confused: ]]> The Nail Geek ydolem http://www.salongeek.com/nail-geek/103335-removing-shine-tip-blending-cnd.html http://www.salongeek.com/skin-geek/103334-spray-tanning-arms.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:28:57 GMT Hi eveyone,
I'm new to this site and i'v just done my spray tanning training last month, i've got a bit of a problem which i hope some one can help me with, I'm super confident spraying the body,face,legs,hands and feet and have done about seven practice tans, but just cant get the inside of the arms right, i keep getting the awful cut off mark at the wrist area,I'v spoken to my sienna x trainer and she's told me to pull away before i get to the wrist area(easier said than done) i so want to be good at this how can something so simple be so hard to master,anyway i'm turning to you for Help!!!!! because i feel like giving up. ]]> The Skin Geek ast http://www.salongeek.com/skin-geek/103334-spray-tanning-arms.html http://www.salongeek.com/nail-geek/103333-book-recommendations-please-biosculpture-problem.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:27:58 GMT Hi all,

First of all Yayayayayyay!! I'm all booked on to a course to start in January and learn this awesome trade that you all talk of. Will take me a while to qualify and a lot of practice from what I gather, but I can't wait. I hope it's gonna be pretty rewarding to do a great looking set of nails!! woooooo wooo. Anywho, is there anything I can do before the course to get ahead? Any books you can recommend? It's the OPI course I'm booked on....

Also - boooooo coz I've been having biogel on my nails (done by nails inc in a debenhams) and they've been so cr@p the last few times. This time all my own nails have split at the sides, causing the gel to lift and stuff to get inbetween my nail and the gel. I've taken the gel off myself because i needed to cut the nail - they were breaking so far down it would have been nasty if they'd caught on something!! (sorry for the lack of proper technical terms!). Soooo I won't be going back to Debenhams. Should my nails have been very flexible with the gel on? I've always had flexible/soft nails and with biogel on I thought they'd of been a bit stronger. The girl that did them didn't really seem to know what else she could do. I know it's my fault that I took them off, but should they of split down the sides?

Ooooo I'm so excited to be becoming a part of all this nail malarkey!!

A friend of mine in the beauty trade has been really banging on to me about nu skin. A revolutionary product you can use at home, using gels and frequencys. Sounds scary as a home product without training. It seems to be a rep system, where you become a rep and sell on etc. It promises amazing results in just one session. Does anyone know about this product or use it? There is a web site if you put nu skin in the search engine, it comes up. Wood be great to have feedback.

Ok to do my monthly post here goes something to get you researching

1) who invented sun less spray tan solution and when

2) From what country was she/he from?

3) Which brand first took spray tan to the retail market and when?

4) which company and when took up the concept of self tan and made it commercially available to professional spray tanners?

5) Did the first spray tan solutions commercially made out of the U.S. contain initial colourant or was it clear?

can anyone advise me on a good system that has a builder resin and a spray activator as there is so many around and trying to pick a good one is difficult

Can peeps give me their opinion on what they consider the best eyelash glue for extensions.
I have the glue I trained with and feel ready to move on to a fast setting glue and I'm looking for one with low fumes and that won't go hard too quickly in the pot.
Anyone care to recommend one???
Thanks

So, salon owners clients, couch, tea/coffee and clients co-ordinating with salon owner for appointment. I will be using all my own products.
