Hi Pauline Just replied on other thread, but I have noticed that the digital wax pots seem to be far more accurate temperature wise than my previous non digital one (which got quite hot sometimes). The hive digi one I have also has a fast heat up feature which is helpful if you are out and...

Hi Pauline I've not had any problems with spillages, although I only have the warm wax 3/4 to a half full. The hot wax about the same. I think because it is quite wide (about a foot long) it tends to be quite stable and the lid covers both pots with one lid which doesn't slide about. I put it...

Hi A H Francis do a master course (they sent the info to me with my lash kit and stuff about training) - I can't comment on the course though as i'm just learning lashes and go on my first course in May. Choccy xx

Just wanted to say if your clients have known you for a little while already, they will most likely be fine with things about you expecting and the new baby (and love seeing you and the new baby too) - my children are older now but in the past when i've had to change things or had to have them...

Well I have a sewing machine......not sure I could do these on that though - computerised as it is! never heard of these lashes at all, it's made me laugh wondering how on earth they are "sewn" in if at all! Whatever next? If anyone has some info please post it i'm fascinated to find out what...

Not sad at all! it's fun - hopefully the enthusiasm about the products will rub off onto clients and encourage them to book new things or try something new :-) I got the Blooming meadows Scentsations set and they smell lovely, and look pretty too. I'm trying to sort out a basket of goodies I...

Hi Any other geeks like me who love getting their orders? I always love opening the parcels and having a smell or a try out of the products. Even if i've paid for them and they aren't presents! - is this just me?? Just opened my order and i've got a lovely cosy comfy nail pillo, it's lovely...

Hi again Thanks for that, seems acetone on a pad seems the easiest way, i'd been using my remover but it's so expensive so i'll use the acetone instead. Thank you xxx

Hi Well i've paid to go on AH Francis Lash course in May. I've been sent my kit and a rubber mannequin head to practice on until my training day. I've been practising - it's fiddly!!, i'm getting a bit better thankfully - as initially I was ready to throw the head out the window! I just...

Hi I'm not sure whether you are qualified to do nails or not, but both CND Shellac and OPI Gelcolour are professional only ranges - (so not available to the public to buy or use). If you are already qualified / or are looking to train to use the products then if you do a search on either...

Hi I hope i'm not going to get shot down in flames here but...... You should really go on proper training for enhancements - that will teach you how to apply tips correctly, apply product correctly etc. I'm surprised someone else on here has suggested you look up videos/info on the net to get...

Hi I got a brochure sent from a company called Morplan and in it are some window display panels in different themes - they hang from a little pole. Maybe google them and have a look. I only got the brochure as I ordered some bags and tissue paper from them, they do retail display stuff and...

Hi Not laughing at you! and yes it is the tea you drink - make it up with warm water then use the tea to mix into the oatmeal (just ordinary porridge oats - don't use ready brek or instant porridge though!). Good luck with it, if you are near a beauty wholesalers they usually sell tubs of...

Hi As the girls are quite young i'd try the oatmeal and camomile tea mix, or oatmeal and rosewater - mix it up and put it on then wash off with warm water. Mashed advocado or mashed banana and honey might be good too and something they could do at home as well. Some facial mask products...

Hi I made the jump and got my own salon after having a room. It was great having the freedom to choose my own style / products etc to have in the salon etc. However, the hidden costs were far more than I had initially expected, and the difference between having one room and a salon is that...

Perron Rigot Euroblonde and Perron Rigot Monoi strip wax (yummy smell) - used to use phd system but found the increasing costs of tubes when doing lots of waxing made it expensive and couldn't justify putting costs up for clients because of that. Love Perron Rigot Euroblonde - stays pliable so...

Hi I have a hive double pot digital heater - one 1000 pot has warm wax and the other 500 pot has hot wax. It's been fine, has a lid too and both pots can be set for different temps etc or just one on at a time. I went for the double one as I do mobile and didn't want to carry 2 separate pots...

Hi Caroline I found loyalty cards work really well - definitely encourages people to come back to you for their treatments as they can see they will get something for free at the end of it. I offer a stamp per £10 spent on treatments - so if treatment was £25 it was 2 stamps £28 2 stamps -...

Hi Tracey There are lots of things to consider when looking at starting up with your facials/facial products. What facial products you use may depend on whether you are mobile or salon based. Some companies won't supply to mobile or home based salons. Also start up costs or minimum order...
