Hi, I am self employed and usually pay class 2 NI. 2020/21 tax year has seen my earnings (including SEISS grant) dip way below the class 2 NI threshold. I have 2 children under 12 whom I receive child benefit for. Am I right in thinking I can get an automatic NI credit for this year because I...

Hi, I would like to purchase a massage gun for general use (not on clients). Can anyone recommend one please? I've had a look and am a little overwhelmed with the choice available.

Hello, I used to have 100+ reviews on Facebook, now it says I have 9 reviews but I can still see all my reviews. So it looks like it's just the number which has changed. My friend's page says she has -4 reviews! Does anyone have any idea what has happened and how I go about getting this sorted...

Hello, I am thinking about training for 2021 and Indian Head Massage is one of the options I am thinking of. I currently offer different types of massage and holistic facial.

Hi, I'm in an area which is subject to Tier 2 restrictions, no households are allowed to mix indoors. From what I understand there is an exemption for paid childcare for under 16s.

Hi, I did an Elleebana lift & tint on a client who is a red head with fair lashes. I left the tint (Belmacil) on for 5 minutes. When I removed the tint the result was a bit disappointing. On her next visit, should I increase the tint time and by how long? or should I apply more tint? or both...

Has anyone used the new squeeze tubes of Elleebana glue and would you recommend it please? I currently use the regular Elleebana glue and find that I have to throw it away as it oxidises before I finish it, which makes it costly. I've done 8 lifts so far with the current glue but it is starting...

Hi, I currently use Aussie hair products because I love the smell! I'm a massage therapist but have a trade card for Alan Howard. I would like to try some shampoo/conditioner but I can't believe how much choice there is and have no idea what to look for, shelves and shelves of brands!!! I am...

Hello, Up to now I've always shopped in-store or on-line with Alan Howard or Denis Williams. I've had problems with products which have gone off or arrived in really poor condition and not suitable for retail, so I thought I would try my local Adel Direct store. I would like to shop at Adel...
