Provide intimate cleansing wipes, I usually have the wipe( in an individual sachet), paper knickers and a lap towel ready on the treatment couch for the client and tell them what to do to prepare. Be as straight forward and as matter of fact as you can be. I hope it helps, not a nice situation.

Can anyone advise if “A.Y supplies” is a legit supplier of CND Shellac? My employer has found this company selling shellac, it seems to be the old design (before the rebranding) some of its cheaper but some full price so I said I’d ask on here to see if anyone has had experience with them. We...

Hi, don’t get disheartened. You have 3 options I reckon.. if the cut backs are huge and they are making it impossible for you to conduct a successful treatment then you owe it to yourself to seek employment in a salon more suited to your standards (but beware the grass is not always greener) ...

Hi, does any one have a notice to say you won't remove products applied in other salons? There had been a few new nail bars opened in our area and the amount of clients who have obviously gone for a try (coz it's cheap) then come back into us with the rogue product still on, so we are running...

I'd love to know too if anyones got any good suppliers and must haves.

Headline Act, The Main Highlight, The Cutting Room, The Cutting Floor, The Haven, Hair Saviours? ... Good luck hope you get one. You could do a Facebook competition if you have existing clients and offer a free cut and blow dry to anyone who comes up with a winning name that you like? Gets a...

I have a hive heater at home, not sure if it's the same as yours but I put the plastic container into the heater directly, I don't decant into metal pots as I feel it never gets properly empty, just topped up and the wax gets old where as if your using up your whole plastic pot then your...

Thanks for replying, I think I almost think of it as cheating as its not designed for nails but neither are acrylic paints I suppose. It definitely makes the thin black lines sharper. Iv yet to find a nice nail art brush that I'm happy with, anyone got any firm favourites they can't like without?

I would agree with the comment about rubbing a tiny bit of afterwax oil on to your gloves, it works a charm. You could always check the quality of the strips your using.. I find I get much sticky-er using the short strips that are thinner too, I find I'm best with the long ones from salon...

Omg I love these! I'm obsessed with cherry blossom. Thank you so much for posting, I feel maybe this is the answer, to combine both. :) xx

I borrowed my dads acrylic paints this morning and Iv discovered It's soooo much harder than it looks. Can't get the paint to a nice consistently and the colours are not popping like I thought they would, all a bit wishy washy. Maybe they are crap paints, maybe it's just not for me...

Love your flowers. Did it take a lot of practice? Iv seen some tutorials and it looks not too bad but they make it look easy I think. This is the design I done ( with the sharpie on the thin loop parts) so you think the acrylic paint would do this ok?

Aw wow! Thank you! ✍[emoji140]I'm bringing my sharpie to work tomorrow lol! Think I may just bite the bullet and get some acrylic to try out, even if I just use it on myself. Il check out YouTube, thank you for the advice [emoji120]

Thanks so much for the reply, I have seen some nice stamping but I don't think My creativity would feel satisfied by it, I love the feeling of accomplishment on a free hand design but maybe I'm being selfish and overlooking what is practical for the client but I have an inner need to perfect my...

Hey geeks, I'd love to hear your opinions on acrylic paint for nail art. I trained about 100 years ago with star nails spangles befor shellac was even a thing lol so now I am trying to update my skills. I have fallen in love with nail art all over again and was wondering what you guys prefer? Iv...

I wouldn't say I'm "building my time up" that makes it sound like I want to be slow but I'm not solely nails and not doing them back to back, so I guess if you are you bound to get fast.

Thanks, we don't have the led lamp. I just think if I was paying £25 I'd want my cuticles doing right , if they were to upgrade to a full manicure with shellac they would be paying over £40. I don't want the clients to just assume that I'm lazy by not doing a full cuticle job. I am a...

Think I'm just going to have to get on with it, but I just would die if clients started coming back with lifting due to me not being meticulous about the cuticles. Thanks all for your input :) I am thankful they are not giving me 15 mins!!!

Thank you, this is what I think too, iv spoken to them a lot about it and said that I feel I'm compromising on my work to try to fit in the timings but the other girls seem to just get on with it so they are probably just thinking I'm being unreasonable. I love everything else about the salon...

Hey geeks, I would love to hear what your timings are for shellac. I got a new job and the salon are only allowing 30min for shellac I'm really struggling with this as I was taught to do full cuticle work before application and I find it impossible to file,do that and apply in 30mins. I think...
