I'm going self employed at the end of August and just what I need to do? I'll be a beauty therapist within a salon on a 60/40 percentage split. I've been advised from some people to register a sole trader and some to register as limited, which ine is best? Which card reader would you recommend...

Hey Everyone, I'm looking to go self employed in a local salon. I'm going tomorrow to have a look around the salon and discuss percentages with the owner. I'm currently employed elsewhere and I have never been self employed before. The owner has advised she will supply all products etc...

Very true.. I’ll ring them first thing in the morning. If I do have to tell her I’m unable to do them. How would you address it? xxx

Ok guys a bit of advise, a client has just been for a patch test. Usually I would apply a couple of lashes to the outside of the eye. This client was going for Lvl treatment after, so I just put the products behind her ear. During the consultation she advised me that she has a reaction to hair...

Pre made fans are not classed as Russian Volume. Russian Volume is a technique where the technician uses ultra fine lashes eg 0.03 and creates a handmade fan. It is an advanced skill. Pre made fans are clusters, you can not apply these and retail them as Russian lashes. Russian lashes would...

Wow really? So it’s totally normal then! I suppose it just shows how much we care then. Thanks x

She’s getting married in Greece

It was a bit of both. She wanted them doing initially anyway, but advised she wanted to give me the experience and the money. I just know I’m going to feel awful if they start to come out or she doesn’t like them. I’ll have a word with her tonight see what she thinks. Thank you xx

Thank you the advise!!! I have been setting everything out and that does take the pressure off. I do sit there and wait for the door to go though! Ahh I should have thought about that. She gets married two days later, abroad as well! do you reckon I should advise her to book in elsewhere?

I understand exactly what you are saying. she is one of my really close friends and is willing for me to do them knowing I’m practising etc. If it was another Bride I probably wouldn’t have accepted no. I am still nervous though! Think I’m just a perfectionist. Thanks X

I completed my course on the 8th of July. Been practising on strip lashes and sponges. Just make sure your holding them firmly!what tweezers and lashes are you using?

It’s all practice! I’ve been practicing making the fans for a few weeks and have gotten a lot better. It’s the isolation of the natural lashes I’m really struggling with! Also it’s finding the right tweezers. Follow London lash pro on instagram they have a few handy video tutorials

Hey I’ve just completed a Russian Lash course. This is my first set of lashes and just wondered if you could tell me what you think? I find making the fan and picking up fine. Just struggled with isolation, this client had a lot of lashes naturally and I just found it so hard to get each and...
