    Disposable spatulas

    This is the correct way to use spatulas although I worked in a salon that was spotlessly clean but the therapist's all used the same spatula for a half leg! The temperature on the wax pot was turned up high at the end of the day and then returned to the normal setting after a while! I think...

    Wax pot

    Hello everyone. I'd appreciate it if someone could please tell me what you think is the best wax pot to buy. I just want one for warm wax preferably one that you decant a pot of wax into.

    Regular polish - best brand?

    I personally like Orly and the Orly Glosser (topcoat) and Orly quick drying drops or spray. I always tell the client to bring open toe sandalls etc, and make sure they have time to let tge polish dry completely before wearing shoes. This range isn't sold in shops and it is a beautiful finish...

    Vinylux

    I need advice about Vinylux please. Does anyone have problems with applying it? I have used Shellac in the past and no problems but Vinylux does seem a bit thick sometimes. Also can anyone recommend the nicest summer colours. Thank you!

    Facial prices

    Hi thanks for your reply. I think that is about right. When I go for a facial I would rather pay for a good therapist and not just good products and a poor facial if you know what I mean.

    £85 a day room rental?

    crikey, sounds expensive, as currently renting a room in a hair/beauty salon, and rent only, utilities etc included in rent. I am in West Yorkshire so obviously prices will be different but my rent will go up in September to £115.00 for a week, and only I use it.

    Bum cheeks

    leaning forward, sticking their bum out, and spray quickly, but ask not to stand up straight away as it could create a line. Sounds a bit undignified but that's what it is and a better tan finish I think!!

    Can I use a large washing up bowl as a pedi bowl?

    I used to work in a very good salon that used washing-up bowls for pedicures. A client would soak their feet in a bowl with salon pedicure bath soak in. It was done in this way because it made filling, empting, and sterilising easier especially in a busy salon where there were three rooms...
