    CND & Ellisons

    Sad & surprised to see that Ellisons are no longer selling any CND products :( It was so easy to buy a small number of CND items when getting all my other stuff. Now I'll have to do 2 orders, Sweet Squared & Ellisons spending more to meet the minimum amounts.

    The Pro Gel?

    Just looking for any reviews of using The Pro Gel system. I believe it was launched 5 or 6 months ago with a range of colours and cat eye gels. I’m interested to know what the removal time / process is? Is it a 100 % hard gel? And any other comments...? I have a couple of clients who have it put...

    Discussion - is anyone using epilators in the salon?

    Just interested to know if anyone is using an epilator as a salon tool rather than tweezers? As epilators are so much more advanced than years ago, sometimes I find myself tweezing out left over hairs and think, an epilator would do this so much more quickly and effectively. Heads could be...

    Jumbo Shellac sizes

    I was wondering if anyone knew.... CND Shellac seem to be bringing out a lot of colours in a 15 ml jumbo size. Are they going to do all the colours eventually does anyone know? Or is this just to compete with other companies that sell larger sizes

    Non - returning clients

    Hi I have some clients who haven't been for an appointment in two years. When I look at the records most of them just came once on a special offer price.

    Hi I have a new client who's husband likes to have facials. He is a keen golfer and so outside a lot. Apparently he is totally allergic to any perfume or essential oils. Even one drop of lavender in oil will set his skin off. At home he uses Simple products so I have said that for his first...
