I’ve recently started massage and have a routine I use loosely between clients. I’m just unsure of working on the lower back. I work on the shoulders and over the glutes however i feel I’m slightly missing the area of the back (kind of where the kidneys are) as I’m worried about hurting the...

I’m unsure how dark to go on my client so I’m applying then removing them reapplying, what do I remove the tint with? Is a damp cotton wool pad ok or will this affect the tint if I’m re-applying it? Sorry if this is a silly question x

Hi :) I’m thinking of offering mini treatments so mini arm massage, mini leg massage and mini face massage etc. I was thinking £5 for both arms? So roughly 5 mins on each and same for legs, do you think that’s reasonable or too cheap? Also could I go straight into the face massage? No cleansing...

Hello, I’m just looking for some advice please. Since doing facials, especially during the massage part of the neck & shoulders it’s killing my back! I think it’s because I must be leaning over too much, can anyone give any advice on how to stop this? I’ve tried raising my couch but nothing has...

Thank you. Could I ask how long your massage usually takes or how long they shins be? X

Thank you for your reply. Yes the 3 & slow is better but arms are bigger than say the face area if that makes sense? So even going slowly around the eyes, your going to complete 3 quicker than say 3 times down the arm so I just thought maybe do some more? X

I’m adjusting my face massage routine for facials ( going by my professional book which has the moves in) so many college teach to do each move 3 or 6 times. I was just wondering if doing each move 12 times is too much in massage? I’ve had good feedback so far but wondered is there a genuine...

How do you all prep the brows or lashes for tinting? Is wiping over with oil free makeup remover, then water with Cotton pads damp, dry & proceed with tint enough? Thank you

Does anyone know if room temperature affects the temp of wax? I use creme wax and always test on myself first, usually on Number 6 and have had it a few months, as it’s been summer I’ve had the window open however now it’s getting cooler I no longer have the window open and wax feels more hot /...

Hello, I’m starting facials and just wondering how everyone sanitises bowls? Wouldn’t want to use anything too strong but still want to make sure they are clean? Is boiling water enough? Thank you

Thank you for your advice, unfortunately I had already done an order before I saw this response :( but luckily I only ordered 2 colours so will just keep them for me! Just a quick question, when you cap the free edge with gel bottle did you do it first before applying product to the rest of the...

Hi, I’m testing out some gel bottle inc colours and am going on a course very soon. Just wondered if you cap the free edge first or last when painting? I used to use gelish and they always taught first but just wondered if this was different with the gel bottle? Also if it still only a thin...

Hello, I’m looking to change brands to the gel bottle inc as I have heard so many good things about it! I currently use gelish and am thinking of getting a few of tgb colours and base & top and trialling on my clients. Then if I really like it to go on the course. Can anyone else share their...

Hello? I forgot to apply ph bond before foundation when doing gelish toes! Silly of me, do you think they will be ok with out it? Has anyone ever forgot before? I just went from cleanser to foundation. I’m hoping because toes are more hard wearing it’ll be ok. Any reassurance would be great...

For the 1st colour coat I paint each nail starting with the pinkie capping free edge then just before it goes it the lamp, if the colour has shrunk a little from the free edge I quick swipe back over with my brush and put in lamp. With the 2nd layer of colour and top coat I just paint each nail...

Thank you, I do scrub the base coat and apply as thin as I can. I just wondered if it’s only the 1st layer of colour that shrinks? Or can the 2nd layer and top coat also shrink? I just worry if this is happening how can you notice as the first layer is easy to see because you can tell it doing...

Thank you for your reply. Yes with gelish you dry brush the base to reduce shrinking but I was just wondering if anyone knew if the 2nd colour or top coat also shrinks?amd if not why does it only happen with the 1st colour coat x

does Gelish only occasionally Shrink on the first layer of colour? I was wondering if anyone new why it did this? And if it does it on the 2nd colour coat or top coat too? As I’ve heard of flash curing the 1st colour coat but not any other layers? Do I need to flash cure the top coat too or the...

Some people tell me it should be on the gelish logo, others say no fingers should be on the raised ridge at the bottom as that’s too far, im so confused x

Can anyone help with hand placement in the 18g lamp please? I worry that the hand is too far in or not far enough in to be cured properly. How do you explain to the client to put there hand in? I feel like it hard to see if it’s in the right place as you obviously can’t see inside the lamp...
