    Anyone else having issues with Elleebana?

    Same! I love that Ellebana gets great results and is quick but I think I need to insist the client uses a conditioning serum after. Does anyone have any recommendation for serums to retail?

    Eyelash extension placement

    I have switched to the lashbase ultra slim pads because of this. They are great! With thicker pads, I find making a few cuts to the bottom part of the pads helps them fan out and sit better Hope this helps!

    Been refused a Salon Services student trade card

    I see their point. Salon services don't sell CND shellac so why would you need a trade card with them. If you only have the shellac qualification then you would be buying through sweet squared anyway as they are the uk distributor of CND products Hope that helps xx

    Brazillian wax nightmare

    With clients that have very dense hair, I find it best to trim it quite short to avoid it all getting tangled, do smaller patches of wax and apply it slightly thicker. Hope you get your confidence back!

    Perron Rigot wax too hot

    I found the same thing. I use lycon in the salon and love it, never had a problem with the temperature. However I have used Perron & waxperts hot wax on mobile clients but found clients were saying it was quite hot. I've since switched to lycon when doing mobile and everyone loves it just as...

    Problems with Waxperts wax

    I always use talcum powder underneath the waxperts strip wax, works a treat! I think their hot wax is also the best on the market!

    Wahanda has anyone heard of them?

    They are a nightmare! We get clients manage to book themselves in for treatments on wahanda at times the salon isn't even open! So now we have set it so we are visible on wahanda but clients must ring for an appoinment. More hassle than it's worth most of the time.
