A sad day for the industry. RIP Tom Holcomb

I'm about to open a new salon and will be moving my old fb page across. Love the idea of the goody bags too. I'm hoping that the arrival of my topless waiters will draw some ladies in on my open day!! Although it's probably gonna end up being in October so they might get a bit cold lol. I...

Hi there I'm currently in the process of opening my first shop based salon having worked as a home salon for some time. There are probably a lot of threads on here already and most geeks will tell you to go and search through them. I would recommend that you do this as you will find a huge...

Goodness haven't posted on the geek for an age, but after the battering Geeg has had on what should have been a straight forward thread I thought I'm having my say too. I trained in Myscara back in May. Currently do EE as well and was interested in the use of SPM as a midway between tint and...

I've never been asked for certs for anything I've bought on the nail or holistic side of things. HTH

Go for it, but be prepared. Comp floors can be stressful places so make sure you have plenty of time to practice, a good model, read the rules fully and don't take it personally if you don't win, if you win or place be proud, take the feedback on the scoresheets and use it to place higher...

Comfy shoes are a must and layer your clothing. It can be very cold first thing and then gets warmer and warmer as more people arrive and you get a cardiovascular work out from carrying all your goodies so you can get quite warm and big coats are a pain to carry with all those bags. Resistance...

Maybe try entering Salon Nail Challenge at Manchester to get you into the competition arena. It's less technical than the tip and overlay categories and you can use white tips if you wish or use natural tips too. You can also use a gel top coat which saves the buffing time. Quite a few newbie...

Only heard today. What sad news. Met him once and shared a drink or two in the Jury's bar after Gmex and I'll always remember him as a fantastic guy with lots of bling and beautiful smile. Thoughts go to his family and friends.

Have to agree with Loubylou. Don't do it!! There are many good training academies. I started with a cheap and cheerful course and believe me it is not enough to do much more than have a go. Book with a reputable trainer. I don't know how far away you would be but Sparklybits (Tracy Boyle) is...

I offer a summer special with a £6 discount over the two treatments as some aspects overlap. I do quick soak, cuticle, exfoliation, hard skin, then prep and do gel toes, then do moisturisation and oil. Most of my clients book this double treatment and I have no probs with soaking and the gel...

I do this type of party. I do shape & paint or nail art only if they want full nail art. We also offer mini facials and make up. We tend to do 12-15 year olds mainly. We also did one recently with mothers and daughters which was a new take on it. The mums had nails and therapies and the...

I went to a partylite party recently and the rep did a game where there was a small gift (couple of tealights from the range) and the idea was that it was passed round in the following ways: To the lady on your right/left To the closest lady with brown/blue/green etc eyes Who has been married...
