    Scarring after wax burns

    Popped over from nails to seek some advice, Last Wednesday I had my underarms waxed and they were quite badly burnt. For nearly 2 days I had awful pain and they were hot and red, then the peeling started. I now have what is looking like the beginnings of scarring. Can anyone advise what to do...

    Using a client's equipment?

    Ooook so I have a lady who only wants me to use her nail tools and her own polish. She is lovely but bossy and is absolutely paranoid about catching some sort of infection. I think she knows that realistically she is not going to catch anything from my stuff but she's not budging. It's basically...

    Any Newcastle techs?

    Desperately looking for a nail tech who would be able to sort out my sisters nails tomorrow! I did a shellac manicure on her before she returned to uni. And 2 nails are no longer, I used desert poppy and we're either looking for someone to retail her a Vinylux or just shellac the 2 bare nails! xxx

    Shellac peeling

    I'm having huge problems with one of my regular Shellac ladies. Recently her shellac has been peeling within a few days of application. Before she came to me she had been getting shellac for a long time and getting nearly 3 weeks without problems. The first few times I did them we also got 3...

    Leaking bottles?

    So I'm not sure if it's just me, but my nourishing removers bottles ALWAYS leak. I screw the lid up as tightly as humanly possible but it always leaks all over my kit bag. It's now wrapped in a plastic bag to keep everything else safe. Does this happen to anyone else? I have a couple of spare...

    Threading courses?

    Has anyone got any recommendations? I haven't done any beauty or brows before, but want to add to my nails business. Is this realistic or should I be looking at beauty first?

    Toe separators in UV lamp?

    Can foam toe separators go into the CND UV Lamp? I feel like this is a really basic question! But I don't want to accidentally fry any clients x

    Cancelling a client

    I feel so guilty, I had to cancel a client today, struck down with vomiting and diarrhoea [emoji21] she won't be a regular as she lives abroad and was only here for a couple of days but I feel awful. I've given her a solar oil as an apology, how do other techs manage with this? I don't think it...

    Punctured nail?

    My mums friend is a gardener, and has just stabbed into her nail with secateurs. No blood so I don't think it's reached through the nail but has punctured it. At the moment we are treating with ice and ibuprofen. Any suggestions for keeping the nail clean?

    Acrylic fumes?

    I'm really struggling with the fumes when doing acrylics. I'm in a really well ventilated room and using a mask, but after a while I get a horrible headache and dizziness. I'm using the edge products. Are all brands the same or are any better for fumes?xx

    Calloused hands?

    I'm still mid training so excuse me if my question is just really stupid! My brother (farmer) is desperate for me to do something with his hands, they are really calloused. Problem is I'm not sure how to go about it - aside from c**p loads of moisturiser! If it was his feet I would know what to...

    Are SweetSquared and Creative Academy the same/affiliated? The Shellac courses look exactly the same! Which one is better to go for?

    Nail tuition?

    Hi geeks. Perhaps an odd question - but definitely the best place to ask! I've just finished practical training for NVQ level 2 Nail services. I did an intensive course and with the amount of information to process I feel totally overwhelmed when it comes to UV Gel and L&P. So, I was wondering...
