I’m sure that you haven’t been living under rock these last few months and are therefore aware of all of the restrictions and PPE involved in taking on your new business... I’m sure it will also be part of your training and assessments...

    Rusting on nail tools

    Depending on your budget, suwada nippers and clippers are incredible! I have 2 sets of clippers and am planning on getting nippers ASAP! They are very pricey though, but so worth the extra cash. Rust proof, super sharp and the design of the spring means no more weakening and loose or snapped...

    How are you getting on with wearing visors?

    The visor is from bio therapeutics! It’s actually great. Just smashed my hand into it while doing a pedicure because I forgot it was there. Hope you can find one. I know they work with Dermalogica but maybe you can buy from a uk website. Good luck x

    How are you getting on with wearing visors?

    You could probably find something similar, in fact the visor isn’t branded so probably isn’t Dermalogica. Yep you can wear glasses underneath quite comfortably! I’ll see if I can find anything similar later when I get a chance and post back x

    How are you getting on with wearing visors?

    Mine is on a pair of goggles rims so it doesn’t touch my head at all. Just nice and close from forehead to chin and really clear. It was expensive as a deal with branded masks and apron from Dermalogica but if you can find one anywhere like that I defo recommend it. No sweaty forehead and no...

    Where to advertise my chairs/spaces to rent?

    Hi! Good luck on your new venture. I know this wasn’t necessarily your original question but I wanted to offer advice on something that I think would’ve helped me ALOT when I opened my first salon.... I found a space with space for 3 hairdressers and a nail technician to work alongside my beauty...

    Wow - the ugly face of disappointment!

    I am a beauty therapist, so when we got the news that only hair salons would be opening on 4th the messages still came rolling in... I had 2 very different responses within an hour, one was a lady who is a bit of a whirlwind, and is “desperate” for an appointment and when I told her that I don’t...

    A July return!

    Exactly the same here. A few regulars wore me down and now I’m just saying nope you will all have to wait coz it’s doing my head in having to rearrange over and over again. I think best to just cancel and wait personally... we could be ages if all the pubs etc cause a second spike?! X

    A July return!

    Exactly the same here... my phone didn’t stop yesterday... people are lumping us together with non essential shops I think and thinking we can open next week... I’m getting bored of saying the same thing now!

    Boris Johnson said go to work if you have to!

    Such a stressful time... have you spoken to your bank about the bounce bank loan? You can borrow up to 25% of last years income, the interest rate is very low and no payments for 12months... I think that’s the details, but could help you out while nothing is coming in maybe? As long as you can...

    Need business advice!

    He must walk around with this eyes closed to not know anything about the grants!!

    Need business advice!

    Totally agree that you shouldn’t have to pay really... I am a salon owner and I used to have chair renters and I wouldn’t have asked them to pay (certainly not the whole time.. it’s great that you’re helping where you can) but I think if this is going to go on for another 6/7 weeks he can’t keep...

    This is good.. doubt many of them will get caught though... people just seem to get away with crap like that

    Black Market hairdressing

    I’ve had a few socially distanced cups of tea with her.. me on the driveway, her in the porch just to check on her, but my husband is still working and I will not go inside her house or risk her getting ill because he’s in and out everyday.. I don’t follow tabloids or social media speculation...
