Hi All, I just wanted to say I did the course at my local Sally's (with rachel) and she does make you feel confident in doing everything, she has actually trained me in, Nail extensions, waxing, eyelas/eyebrow enhancements and went to their head office inRuislip to do make-up course, Rachel is one of the best trainers I have come accross..

Can't imagine anyone needing the Amirose large ones - they would have to have mega long lashes!!!

The enhancements are also Salon System's as is the glue, and I am happy with the quality but then I haven't been doing it for very long!!! First full paying client tomorrow evening so wish me luck!

I have just done a one-day course and was really impressed with the training and can't wait to get going!!! Just wanted to pass this on as a lot of short courses get a bad press, but I feel entirely confident in my abilities having completed this one.

And more than anything, I really enjoyed spending some time learning a new skill and also being pampered into the bargain. I felt so pleased I just wanted to share xxxxx

How long does the tint/perm/false lashes last for?

We were told around 6 to 8 weeks.

And just as an update (I am sooooo pleased) I have already got enough bookings to cover the cost of the course and kit!!!!!!! And I only did it 10 days ago. And my eyelashes still look fab too.

Can you tell I'm quite excited!!!!

That's it sugarbabe,
Your excitement says it all. I am definitely going for this course. The only thing is the next one isn't until November, and I don't know if I want to wait that long.

Oh I hope you find one sooner - its a perfect preholiday treatment, and you can combine it with a nail shape and polish or simple IHM while you wait for the perm to do its work!

hi all

i am on an nvq beauty level 2 course at the moment - i did an eyelash perm and tint on a client the other night at college - lovely results as she was REALLY fair and had sparse eyelashes.

Only one downer HER EYES WERE SOOOOOOOO RED after.

No solutions had got in her eyes (perm or tint) but its really put me off doing another.

Client thought it was probably the fumes from the perm (?)

They looked good as i say but it scared me with the eyes reacting so bad.

Don't be put off - this isn't the norm! I wonder if it could have been a reaction to the petroleum jelly or whatever you masked her eyes with. Have you checked with her how long the redness lasted? They probably went down after a couple of hours. Why not follow her up and see if she's happy with the results? xxxxxxxx

Maybe her eyes were quite sensitive, and doing a perm and tint in one go was too much for her?

We were taught that technically they shouldn't be done at the same time, although a lot of people do, and that it would probably be too much for sensitive eyes.

It was left up to our discrection as a tech as to whether to decide to offer both together or not (so many salons do and it might be detrimental to business not to), but were warned that if someone had a problem and decided to sue, that the fact that both were done in the same appointment, not 24 hours apart, would void our insurance.

Other than that, did you ensure you removed all the tinting solution properly? Cos if you don't it can cause some stinging and redness (like when you don't remove mascara properly and it runs into your eyes in the shower).
