Hi does anyone remember a while back on here someone submitted a thread about some free NVQ nail training? If so I am trying to find the number for the company that does it but cant find the old thread. Does anyone have it please and has anyone taken up the training? If so how did it go...

Thanks for your kind words everyone. Its just really worrying when its your own business and you need to keep your clients to bring home the bacon as they say, but at the end of the day my little treasure comes first.....clients are replaceable but babys first days are not so think I might wait...

Hi everyone, Ive not been on here for a while but knew I could return for some sound advice and hopefully reassurance! I had my first baby, a little boy 5 weeks ago (and he is gorgeous of course!) I have a log cabin in my back garden that I work from, I do beauty, holistic and nail treatments...

Hi Guys just wanted to say thanks for all your advice. Just thought id let you know how it went! Well the 11 year old was soooooo different, very well behaved and she even brought her Nintendo DS to keep herself amused while her mum had her nails done! The mum apologised for the 8 year olds...

Thanks for your advice everyone, I know I have to say something if it happens again, it does really annoy me when people disrepect other peoples property, I just worry about offending people but then I have to think that they are actually the ones offending me! I will be strong.........:mad:

Good idea with the colouring books Geeg, thank you for that. Im hoping the mum will bring the other child and maybe have a little more control over her! Fingers crossed. Failing that I am gonna have to get my stern head on.....easier said than done!

Hi I just wondered what you would all do in this situation: I had a mum and a gran book the mums 2 chidren age 8 and 11 in for a manicure as a treat for their birthdays. The app was last Sat. The Gran brought the 8 year old as the other one was poorly and said she would have the other...

Hi guys just wondered if anyone uses the hand, foot and body range by sparitual as I really like the products and have had all the samples etc and put them to the test! I am just debating as to whether I should get the whole range or not and if it is a good selling point, as I like the vegan...

Did anyone else notice how dirty her own nails were underneath?! She is obviously hot on hygeine as well as her techniques lol!

I do a double cleanse, the 2nd comes after I have applied and removed the exfoliant as sometimes some little bits gets left behind and this helps remove any leftovers! I think it is a nice thing to do as the client must feel they are getting more from their treatment too. I would also think it...

Are they waring tight clothes on there legs after the wax?

I too have seen an article about this either in Scratch or the Guild gazette, I was reading it literally the other day, have just had a quick look but cant find it now, typical! Anyway it was saying a lady had been conned and to beware its a total scam, why would someone want your money if...

I think you are right there Hippy chick, my instinct says go with myself but I worry about letting others down! Im a bit soft sometimes! The FHT are reasonable by the sounds of that but my insurance is with the Guild so I was presuming I would have to go with them. I will have a ring round...

I have been running workshops at my salon for a while so Im ok with the experience side of things as feel pretty confident, but just havent been able to run full courses that can be insured once passed. The money they are offering at the wholesalers isnt great but they will pay for the accred...

Hi everyone, I am qualified to teach and just starting to look at my options. I have been approached by a local beauty wholesaler who has asked me to write 2 training manuals for them to send off to the Guild for accreditation. If they are accredited they have said I can only teach for them...

May be worth checking if you are curing it for long enough, or if you think you are your bulbs could be due a change?

I usually do a scalp or arm massage but have occassionally offered a toe nail paint. I once paid alot of money on a spa day at a local hotel for a facial and the therapist wrapped me in the blanket so tight I could hardly breath and then when she put the mask on she put wet tissue over the...

Also............this is a real simple one but when I start a back massage I place a large towel over the radiator and when im finished i pop it over the whole back while the client is resting. This helps soak off the excess oil so they dont get too much on clothes and feels nice and warm too!

A heated under blanket is a good one and feels lovely. I sometimes put heated booties on people for facials. I also like cocooning people in blankets as this feels so much warmer (just make sure they dont have to turn over half way thru treatment tho!Good 1 for facials!).I just get them to lay...
