    PAT testing

    I test all my own equipment, did my C&G 2377 after my engineering and electrical installations courses - my day job is a sparky, nails are a sideline!

    Does Nail Harmony test on animals?

    Agreed. It's put me off using their products :(

    Urgent advice needed!

    Under no circumstances should you refund! I wouldn't worry about her bad mouthing (as another poster said, she'd sound ridiculous) and legal action? They'd laugh at her! The woman obviously has no heart, I would never dream of kicking up a fuss when someone is already going through a difficult...

    What is the best for your money online acrylic course?

    Really don't recommend that you do an online course, there's no substitute for being taught where it's more hands-on and you can ask questions as you go - and overcome any problems you encounter at the same time! Good luck with whatever you decide to do anyway xx

    Nail geeks!

    Don't give up, it's different for everyone but I'm sure everyone will agree that l&p is the hardest type of enhancement to master. It took me a long time (best part of a year) and a lot of practice to get it right and even more time to get my time down to a respectable amount! I tend to stick to...

    1st paying client tomorrow!

    We've all been there and know what it feels like! Just keep calm and act confident even if you don't feel it! Don't feel like you have to rush either, take your time and do the best you can - speed will pick up the more sets you do! Good luck xx

    Is it cheeky or is it just me?

    Definitely stick to your guns, I wouldn't entertain discounting for someone who I don't speak to, especially when she's going on holiday and obviously has the cash!

    NSS salons: are they affecting your business?

    Yeah I worry too, as if it was me and nobody had given me advice I would be mortified! Have heard some horror stories and seen some awful states and people think it's normal! But it's hard to get them to change to yourself or another 'proper' salon as they are getting such cheap deals....!

    NSS salons: are they affecting your business?

    Thanks for your reply, it's good to know that I'm not the only person! Have had a few people come to me after being there and god those nails take some removing! At least when they leave they have something decent and I've told them why they shouldn't go there! Those repeat customers are great...

    NSS salons: are they affecting your business?

    Does anyone else seem to have a problem with local NSS salons? I have found that I'm going to need to go back to full-time work and do nails part-time as I have not managed to build up a significant client base and I have bills to pay! My biggest problems are the 2 NSS salons where I live...

    How to get people to love Shellac?

    Filing, driving me nuts! Drill?

    I was thinking of getting a drill as some of my clients like to get gel polish on top of their gel extensions, obviously you can't soak it off so it's gotta be filed :(

    Acrylics on children?

    Hell, even at 16 I didn't know what false nails were! I only started in the industry at 19... I performed a gel treatment on a 12 year old when starting out, without checking with my insurance (didn't even think it would be an issue) but have a policy in place now to not treat under 16s no...

    Different gel for rebalance?

    I've mixed gels before, never had a problem, think it's because the previous gel is already cured... interested to hear what others say though! :)

    Very slow this week

    I've been scarily quiet, was getting quite worried to be honest but I'm feeling a little better knowing it's not just me... roll on September then!!!

    More marketing ideas?

    Ok looks like a leaflet drop is the next on the list...! Have only spent £800 on setting up as it's all I had, have just been trying to build on what I already have and buy as I go along and it's bloody hard! I have a website, don't think people use it but I keep it updated just in case... it's...

    More marketing ideas?

    For recommendations I give their friend £5 off their next treatment and the one who recommended also gets £5 off after their friend has been. I've left business cards in gyms, supermarkets etc and have located a hairdressers (without a beauty salon attached) who is willing to display a poster...
