    Lost certificates

    Surprised the companies you did your training with can't help. Surely they keep a list of who has done the training with them. I would have thought once you prove who you are it would be just a matter of printing them off again.

    Nail techs and boob jobs

    Most surgeries require approx 6 weeks recovery as there are lots of layers of muscle etc to heal not just what you can see on the top layer. Hope you recover soon and that going back to early doesn't delay your recovery.

    Daughter’s curly hair

    Don't you mean DON'T use parabens, sulphates etc?? A curl range that's quite good and not too expensive is the Noughty range.

    Daughter’s curly hair

    She could put her hair up in a high doubled over pony tail (pineapple) to sleep in. That helps but make sure she uses an invisibobble as they don't leave marks on the hair. She could also use a leave in conditioner. Amazon have some reasonably priced silk pillowcases too. There are loads of...

    Curly hair

    I am not a hairdresser either but I use a 2 step process when colouring my 3a-3c curly hair myself, by using Olaplex no 1 in the colour mix and Olaplex no 2 afterwards. Never had a problem with my hair after doing this. I but the 2 as a set.

    Hair breakage or new hair growth?

    Both of them look to have dry hair. Maybe they need a deep conditioner and a leave in too. Look on Amazon for silk pillow cases....mine is made by Zimasilk and cost me £23 each and they have zips which keeps the pillow in place better than envelope cases. Have never paid anywhere near £80 for one!!

    DND gel?

    That's weird none of my clients have complained about CND Shellac chipping. Maybe if curing is done by another make of lamp other than CND'S lamp that might give rise to chipping??

    DND gel?

    Can't understand why you can't get a full 2 weeks wear out of CND products?? In what way do they not last for 2 weeks? I have no problem getting at least 2 weeks and maybe more out of them. I have tried various other brands but I always end up going back to CND.

    2/3 week infills

    They will probably want to soak off and start again as there could be weakening of the acrylic due to the acetone they used to soak off the gel polish. That's what I personally would do. I would never ever soaked off with acetone or anything else if the gel polish is on acrylic. I only used a...

    Complete beginner course advice

    It's interesting to read that some of you found Acrylics harder to master than.Gel. I was the complete opposite, I felt that I was trying to do enhancements with runny honey when I did gel. I trained with CND via Amanda Fontararosa (sp?) up to Master level in all the courses they offered and...

    Jimmy Gel with Shellac?

    I have had trouble keeping Shellac on my nails lately which I have put down to the hand sanitizer that we have to use all the time now. The Shellac was peeling of in one piece which I have never had before. I was also getting eczema on my hands which I haven't had for years. I have now started...

    Burning sensation in lamp

    Where did you buy the CND products you are using? You are supposed to be a trained nail tech and send them copies of your certificates before you can buy CND products.
