My sister is getting married in April next year and has given me the task of finding someone who can come to our house and do hair and make up for her, me and my other sister and my mum. Have had a look on some websites and the prices are crazy. does anyone know what the going rate is for mobile hair and make up, or knows of anyone I can contact? Ideally would like to know if people to do a package (ie total cost) for all of us rather than individual price.

Any help would be great. Going crazy at the mo tryig to find someone!

I've had a client enquire about spray tanning & she wants to know if it's ok to have done whilst she is breast feeding (not at the same time obviously, lol)

I can't remember what I was told about this in my training. I know hormones are changeable in pregnancy which can affect the outcome but would appreciate some advice about breast feeding.

Thanking you :green: ]]> The Skin Geek Blue Rose http://www.salongeek.com/skin-geek/103342-spray-tanning-breast-feeding.html http://www.salongeek.com/skin-geek/103334-spray-tanning-arms.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:28:57 GMT Hi eveyone,

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 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

I was wondering if you could help. I am sure some of you know that we are putting together a beauty supply website. At the moment we have facial and body products (Moor Spa obviously), Beauty Boxes, waxing stuff, tanning and salon equipment.

We are looking to stock a professional make up range, but we are a little stuck on which one. What is everyones opinion on the different ranges out there. We want to keep the site professional so it is a professional brand we are after.

I'm a mobile spray tan technician using Fake Bake products, which i seem to get on ok with. Lately i've been getting asked for darker tans as Fake Bake Darker isn't enough for some of my ladies.

I've just got a sample of LA Tan Disco and was gonna try it out on my friend next week - she's going away for the weekend and doesn't mind being dark. Does anyone know how dark this actually is, as i don't wanna ruin her weekend?! Or any other products on the market that offer dark tans?

Thanks... :lol:

My manager wants to start selling GiGi's No Bump exfoliater as a retail item in our salon. I'm supposed to be looking into it, but I can't find a GiGi wholesaler. I know that Beauty Express and other places distribute it, but not at wholesale prices it seems (they don't give a trade price and an RRP price??).

Please can anyone help?

Im wanting to do a makeup course but work full time and evening classes are no where close by.

Im now thinkin of doing a course over the course of a weekend any where in the uk or distant learning. Has anyone heard of elitepro distant learnig make up? They have a impressive website but are costly and i cant find reviews.

Given the nature of this pursuit i think i need to attend practical classes but im having no luck findng any short courses or am i just lookin in the wrong places?

I appreciate i will need to invest time is building a portfolio etc but i just want to get started.

Any suggestions? ]]> The Skin Geek BeautyBee http://www.salongeek.com/skin-geek/103304-weekend-make-up-courses.html
