    Busy beautician but still not covering her wage?

    Are your figures right because 60 clients with an average spend of £32 is £1920 so her wages would be covered. Maybe have a look at upping your prices by £1-£2 and also talk with her about working together to ensure a full column. Does she ask her clients to rebook every time? Does she...

    Log cabin in garden questions

    I have a cabin and definitely needed to tell my council. In Havering you need to pay a yearly treatment license to practice beauty regardless of where it is. I also needed planning permission even though the cabin was already there. We got cold water plumbed in and use an electric heater for...

    Beauty cabin privacy for clients

    Yep, i keep a cardigan by the door and I'm only out there for a couple of minutes. My cabin also has an overhang so if it is raining i don't get wet or anything x

    Mobile therapist or home salon?

    I assume you don't already have clients in this case. People who like to have treatments at home and people who want to go out for it seem to be in two seperate camps where they like one or the other. Pick what will work best for you and go from there. If you are only going to do one day per...

    Gel soak off?

    Uggh i hate removing other NT's work. You can just never be sure what it is. As said previously, i file over the top coat to break the seal, wrap with acetone for 10 mins and place a towel over the client's hands. Usually this does the trick or on checking it looks like it's nearly there. I've...

    Beauty cabin privacy for clients

    You could have a room divider screen or section part of the room with a storage item, like a cupboard/shelving unit. I actually just step outside. I only do this for massage and facials though. If it is waxing or tanning i stay in the room and busy myself making sure everything is ready.

    Uniform for home based salon?

    I wear a beauty uniform top with leggings. In the summer when it was really hot i switched to a black vest top though.

    Complaint 3 months later

    Are you sure the block colour isn't 3 months worth of roots? Lol. That's ridiculous. Especially if she won't come in so you can look. I would reply as AcidPerm advised. Please don't do anything for free because she is taking the mickey.

    Hive wax machine keeps switching off and wax goes hard!

    Yes, do. I had a 1000cc heater replaced by Hive in the past.

    Hive wax machine keeps switching off and wax goes hard!

    I'm not sure about standby mode. I put my wax on at 54 fot hot wax, 60 for strip wax. Put the high heat button on and when it is done it reverts back to those settings. It stays on until i switch it off

    Hive wax machine keeps switching off and wax goes hard!

    I have this machine and that's not supposed to happen. Is it still under warranty?

    Constructive feedback needed, first set lash extensions

    Can I ask you a couple of questions to help? What brand are you using for lashes and for glue? What size lashes were these and did you lash map? How long did you spend on these? They look a good length for the natural lashes but as if they may be all the same length. They are also quite sparse...

    Log cabin advice please

    Definitely check it all with your council because some are more difficult than others. I think some insist on a sink but don't quote me on it. I have a log cabin. We definitely had the walls insulated, including a fireproof insulation where my wall heater is. I don't think we insulated the...

    Treatment licence fee for Rotherham Council

    I have no idea about Rotherham but i just renewed my license in Havering and it was £300. You should be able to find the price online or phone the council and ask x

    Why do NT support brands that sell to hobbyists?

    My goodness. Definitely food for thought. I know my nail, wax and skincare brands only sell to those who are qualified but I'm not sure about my tan. I think licensing is a great idea but wouldn't know how to implement it. I think I would struggle to take 6 months out to get my license as i...

    Chair cost in nail salon

    Not a nail bar but i used to rent a beauty room. In a Surrey village I paid £80pw four years ago. Then I moved to Essex and paid £30 per day. In both places i supplied all my equipment and that was the cost regardless of how many hours i worked. You could suggest a percentage split but that...

    Wax help?

    Forget the tissue. Just get the client to hold the underwear away from where you want to wax. Make sure they hold it an inch further away from where you want to wax so you have extra room. Kim Lawless hot wax, Cockney Rebel, is fantastic. I don't need the client to pull anything. It comes off...
