    Salon System lash lift

    Hello all!! So, I’m Nouveau Lashes LVL trained through my employer so don’t have my own account with them as at home I am mobile and can’t justify paying for the training yet. I bought the Salon Systems Lash Lift Kit today (VAT FREE so not a big deal if rubbish) but would love to know what...

    Mobile therapist or home salon?

    Im trying to decide between either going mobile once or twice a week or just setting up myself at home. I’m aware of The change the insurance & getting in contact with the council etc that comes with having a home salon so have the business side all down - but client wise what do they prefer...

    Scared to go it alone!

    Thank you for your reply! Yeah, that’s something that I’ve thought about and one of the reasons why I’ve held off doing it for so long, I love my boss but I’m not sure how she would take it, so I’m still thinking of how to tell her or what I would even say to her. Thank you! No it’s not...

    Scared to go it alone!

    Thank you for your reply! My manager is extremely relaxed and doesn’t actually have any contracts in place! I wouldn’t poach clients from the salon, so I’d be looking around my area, which is about 20 minutes away from the salon! And yes, I’m thinking to start with outside working hours! X

    Scared to go it alone!

    SO, I’ve been toying with the idea of going self employed for a little while now. I’m currently employed in a beauty salon and love where I work, but having recently bought my first home a little bit of extra money certainly wouldn’t go a miss! I A) don’t want to put my bosses nose out of...

    Treatwell?

    I use Treatwell and really like it for the quiet days! You choose what appointments you want to make available and if you want to do an off-peak discount (we never do) and we’ve so far had so many returning clients through it! The only downsides I would say is that the clients that use...

    Working from home while working in a salon

    I’m in the same position at the moment! I work full time in salon on an employed basis and have done for 2 years, I’m quite close to my boss and felt that I didn’t want her to think (if she ever did find out) that I was going behind her back and taking clients etc, so I told her. It’s an awkward...

    Client asking for artwork I can’t replicate

    I’m not particularly artistic either, the most I’ve ever been able to achieve is marble effect, but I find that some YouTube videos, spare nail pops and a free hour to doodle and practise helps the imagination! Xx

    Quite right! No I don't do acrylics or gel, there isn't really a want for them at the salon I'm in at the minute, I'd absolutely love to though! I'm thinking maybe cnd - not 100% yet though! Where did you train in acrylics? Xx

    Fake Shellac?

    Apparently the way to see if they're fake or not is by the batch number, it should be etched into the bottom of the back or base of the bottle and it should be the same code etched into the box it came in? Apparently anyway, not 100%!! I always buy mine from S2, too scared to get them from...

    Infection from wax?

    I sometimes find it happens to clients who don't regularly get an upper lip wax, it could just be the reaction to having the hair pulled out of the follicle and stimulating the sebaceous glands, I wouldn't worry ☺️ Could also just be her touching the area after her treatment! X
