yes, I've always had an answerphone on my landline. It's just a basic one and I can easily record the outgoing message and change it whenever I need to. It also saves me answering the phone when it turns out to be a sales call. Any messages I need to reply to, can just be done when I'm not with...

Hi, Make sure you join this group on facebook which has all the info on brands related to the current rise in allergies Log into Facebook Nail Tech Awareness CND Shellac and their newer plexigel are very good but if you are not keen on their colours, have a look at Lecente who are a safe brand...

Try Kaeso, its an excellent brand at price a small salon can afford and retails really well. Based on plant extracts and essential oils. To get started just order one of each kit (which are great value) and build from there. Lots of wholesalers stock them.

I put my roller wax on 2 hours before i need it ready. 1 hour may not be enough but it depends on the heater & quantity you are using. I've always preferred clean & easy roller wax but it is being discontinued in the UK sadly. If getting a different brand then try Hive. I used to teach waxing...

I haven't used that particular brand of roller wax but I have used many others. My first thought is that you haven't heated the wax to a high enough temperature. If it is hotter then the wax should be runnier and therefore flow through the roller head more easily. To get the roller working, roll...

Hi, I've used lecente for a few years now and yes, it also took me a while to get the hang of the soaking off. My other brand is shellac, so totally different. Here is what I have found works best, having tried various methods: 1. Don't use cotton wool or lint - the acetone dries out too...

Hi, I've used lecente gels on natural nails since they launched the create range of gels several years ago. If the gel is wearing from the free edge then it might be because you haven't capped effectively or the gel is too thinly applied. Despite lecente saying you can just do one coat of colour...

Kaeso or CND

No, you can be employed in one workplace and self employed in another, you just need to fill in a tax return each year. There will be a page to fill in your employed earnings and another to fill in your self employment earnings. Make sure you keep records for both - income & expenses. Go online...

Thank you for your reply to my July 2022 post. To update, this client contacted me in August 2022 to say that she would go for allergy testing. I haven't heard from her since but hopefully she found out some useful information to go forward with.

Yes, the Kaeso range would be your best bet to try and it wouldn't cost a lot to set up either. Buy their box sets first to try the ranges. Ellisons quite often have 20% off too. Ideally if you knew your precise allergies this would help with researching products to use. Of course, now post...

I use a dining chair too. It gives the right height to my table and has a padded seat and back. Don't have arms on it though. Most of my clients especially the more elderly have to sit down and then shuffle their legs round. My table is on wheels so for those who struggle more with mobility, I...

If not already doing them, level 3 electrical facials could be added. If your existing skin care company has machines then look at these first, if not, research companies such as Crystal Clear who do lots of advanced facial machines.

Not professional to be honest. You must have known you had these clients before you booked the holiday. You'll have to be very nice to them when you ring (don't do it by message). Be prepared to loose a few!

CND Shellac Lecente

Your first thing to do is to contact your local council to see if you need to apply for planning permission. Different councils have different rules. Regarding provision for hand washing & loo - this would be for your local environmental health to advise on. You will also need to consider house...

Yes, see what the other salon says. Personally, I wouldn't do a tint without vaseline to protect the skin - it will sting if the tint touches and this is obviously not good and against advised use. If she likes the eyeliner look, perhaps she should investigate semi-permanent make up where they...

Yes, some clients can be very resistant to taking the tint. Leaving the tint on for longer can solve the issue. Put plenty of vaseline on the skin before applying the tint and cover the lashes with damp pads to ensure the tint stays wet. Keep checking client has no stinging as you would normally...

https://www.salongeek.com/threads/facial-products.338653/post-2689601 I posted this not long ago. (#2 post) For warming massage oil, I put it into a small plastic beaker and stand it on the ceramic dish. Allow 40 mins to get it to good temperature ready to use.
