Washing her hair every day will dry her hair whilst overstimulating the oil glands so greasy hair and dry scalp. Great shampoo recommendations from Ronray. I would also advise she tries to wash her hair less and dilute the shampoo and gentle massage her scalp but not over stimulate it. A cold...

I use lint free wipes from Ellisons they come on a roll and are perforated and you can also get the dispenser to put them in but I find I just seperate them and make them ready for use prior to having a client. They are good value and I use a clean dry brush after to remove any tiny bits that...

Hi I have wavy hair I use macadamia oil a ceramic brush and I'm afraid to say lots of heat when I dry it I am a hairdresser and know heat is bad but I only wash my hair every 1 to 2 weeks as I wear it up a lot so not doing it every day. Letting the natural oils go through helps keep it in...

I think you are being really hard on yourself you obviously care about what you are doing and want the clients to get the best experience. You will find a routine that works best for you i.e. I always pedicure with my client sitting then I get her on the couch to paint her nails as I find its a...

Bless you honestly we all ha HI can you please elaborate on the 3 types of manicure and 8 types of skin nail type that you mention please as I didn't fully understand your reply thanks in advance for clarifying.

I always soak before any pedicure as I find its the best way to soften the cuticle and remove hard skin from the feet when you said gel pedicure did you mean just painting the gel on the nails and not a full pedicure? Just interested to see what other people are doing thanks

Hi I use the Salon System one I get it from Capital Hair and Beauty its £16 including tax I also use it for eyebrow lamination it is very good but it does dry up very quickly so does't last very long Its the only one I've tried so not anything else to compare it to it does the job though .

bless you thats awful and you seem like a very genuine and lovely person who has just had an awful experience. I'm not a colourist but maybe someone here can recommend something that you could put on your hair just to tone it down a bit as you can't afford to go to the hairdressers maybe if...

Hi I use Pierre Rigot wax and it comes with Jasmine oil you only need a very small amount there are other products out there but I've only ever used this one hope this helps X

is it possible to supply details of the courses thanks

Hi hon I use hot wax Pierre Rigot and you put jasmine oil prior to the wax and it really protects the skin. The strip wax sticks to the skin and can remove the dry epidermis causing it to be red. The hot wax when used with an oil only sticks to the hair not the skin it shrink wraps around the...

Hi I would say clean very well make sure they are oil free. I use Salon System lash lift they are ok I use the individual sachets rather than the bottles the times for the lift and set solutions are long 15 mins so quite a long treatment. Do one eye at a time to save time have two timers. The...

My insurance is with InEvexco through professional beauty direct its was £52.50 and is for both hair and beauty x

I think you either like doing feet or don't I don't mind them but manicure would work well for youalso ask your clients what they would like to try re treatment i.e. gel polish is very popular and easy to do just make sure that you do the courses as this will mean you are insured for each new...

Hi Tracey I am a hairdresser and qualified beauty therapist when I was mobile I concentrated on hair and wedding makeup and that did really well I was always busy. I mostly do beauty therapy now as I have a room in my house but due to covid I have also had to diversify and have started doing...

Hi just in reply to above comment mould would only grow on stored files if you don’t clean and dry them properly before and after each use and mixing up clients files if they are clearly labelled this wouldn’t be a problem. I work alone and I’m very organised clean and tidy so it’s not a problem...

Hi copper bowls like the one in my picture are anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungal so very hygienic and very easy to clean this is my pedicure bowl but it quite heavy but you can get smaller lighter ones. They also keep the heat so the water takes longer to cool maybe have a flask of...

Hi I’ve always kept clients files etc cleaned sanitised and in a ziplock bag clearly labelled for each client. I charge a small initial fee for this and replace as and when needed. It’s really important and always has been to maintain excellent hygiene practices also it reassures the client...

I invested a lot of money initially in CND but I"m not a fan of them, but I would recommend Gellish much easier to apply and it lasts a lot longer but everyone is different and I think you just have to try out different products to see what works best for you. Prep is so important and that...

Hi my salon is also one room I tried various brands but settled on Tropic products I don't focus on selling but just use them on my facials and if people want to buy they can. They are lovely products and affordable I would highly recommend.
