    PayPal fees are ridiculous!

    Would you need to call them to take the card details? Sending an invoice might be an option, so after they book in do you just email them out a booking fee invoice? Thanks

    Acrylic or hard gel

    hey everyone! I am wanting to invest in a course in nail extensions, I can’t decide which to go for either acrylic or hard gel. I prefer the odourless option of hard gel but I have heard it’s harder to master. I would prefer to use forms too rather then tips. Also would I NEED an e file for...
