    Waxing reaction

    Hello. I waxed this client on Wednesday and she’s just sent me this picture (Monday) asking if it’s normal (it’s her first time lip & chin, no prob with eyebrows) I haven’t replied yet as I thought I’d check with you guys first. Usually if someone has a reaction I would expect it to be a...

    Review post cards to post on Facebook

    Review post cards to post on Facebook

    Hi guys and gals. We use ovatu and when we get a review it automatically goes on my website but not Facebook so I make these postcards on vanilla pen to post on fb. I've seen a few local salons do the same now (funnily enough a few days after I started doing it) so I'd like mine to stand out a...

    Hot towel steamer kit by Beauty Pro

    I had the same one for ages and I used tap water. I think I've used it 18m- 2yrs with tap and it still works fine now but I just don't want it anymore. It served me well but I have a hit towel cabby now. No more burnt fingers.

    Gel polish wouldn't come off!

    Did you buff the topcoat off? I know you do this with geleration or it won't soak off easily, I think girlish is the same

    Which insurance do I need when working in another establishment?

    Hello lovely[emoji6] You will need both treatment insurance and public liability, they usually come together and it's pretty cheap. I think babtac are around £80pa for a standard insurance with no extras xx

    Microblading advice

    With regards to % it's hard to say as it's not your normal beauty treatment price. Usually it would be 60/40 in favour of who is supplying the products but I'm not sure that would be fair with microblading. My botox doctor gives me 10% if that helps?

    Microblading advice

    I would say if you're being paid to manage the salon then you can't be doing this while you're microblading so separate the two. Do it on your days off or cut the salon managing days if you can x
