    Home salon looking for a good facial brand

    I too am looking for a good Brand, Inexpensive, but good at the same time. I was thinking of signing up to Neals Yard Organics when I have a few spare pennies. I Love the Blue bottles they come in, they look all posh and uniformed. We used these products at college and they all smell so lovely...

    Help a new starter?

    I Personally Recommend CJP. As a new starter you may want the slower setting Acrylics though. I have just switched to CJP and love it, there are so many colours to choose from, plus they do like a starter/Trial kit too. You order online, Google CJPnailsystems and it gets delivered by courier...

    Does anyone take a pre-paid deposit?

    In a Nutshell, It's rather a lot of cancellations in one hit... Hopefully just a bad week never to be repeated!

    Does anyone take a pre-paid deposit?

    I have messaged those who cancelled, One of them is desperately trying to re book, but I am "busy" She doesn't drive and I have to go to her, the only times I go there is straight after my day job as it is around the corner. I like to work from home as it's less hassle. (The reason I am busy is...
