    Taking deposits?

    Exactly AcidPerm, if I were to book her in without a deposit, had the patch test but then messed me about on the appointment day, that could have been someone else’s appointment that I would have had to turn away! Yes, I have a little carbon receipt book, 1, for receipts for deposits & the...

    Taking deposits?

    Thankyou for all your replies! Redstar I’ve never really thought about that! I suppose I should think about what would happen if I had to cancel the clients appt! CFBS yeah it’s been working for me so far, she’s the first client to disagree and say I’m doing it all wrong! She agreed to the...

    Taking deposits?

    So I take a £20 deposit on appointments over £30. This being either a full set of lashes or multiple treatments in one booking. If cancelled within 24 hours it is non-refundable. If it is cancelled prior to the 24 hours, I either refund it or allow the client to carry it over as a deposit for a...

    OPI Alpine Snow consistency?

    Hi, Did an OPI gelcolour manicure last night, my client wanted French tips so I used bubble bath & alpine snow. I noticed the alpine snow is very very thick in consistency, is this normal? It’s a brand new bottle from salon services. I managed to make it work but found it slightly harder to...

    Chrome nails, regular top coat?

    So I’ve recently added nail treatments to my services! I’ve got to the point I’m happy and comfortable with the work I produce with manicures & gel polish, so I thought I would venture into a bit of nail art! The first of my bits to arrive are the chrome powders. It says it requires non-wipe top...

    Must have OPI colours?

    Hi, I’ve got my nail course booked, and I’m set on using OPI products as I’ve always loved them. I’ve got my selections for must have colours but of course not everyone’s taste is the same!

    Offering blow dry but not a hairdresser?

    So whilst I am a lash technician, a mobile beautician friend of mine has recently done a blow drying course and is offering them now, but she has no hairdressing qualifications besides this. Would people go to someone for just a blow dry with no other hair experience?

    Lash extensions & makeup wipes?

    Hi all, my mum had her patch test on Friday and I’m doing her lashes this evening. She doesn’t wear makeup and has basic skincare routine, I’ve found that all the products she’s using are oil free and suitable. The one thing she uses that although they are oil free, are Simple Cleansing Facial...

    First set lash extensions

    Thankyou ladies! I wasn’t too impressed with my course, we had hardly any practical time and the theory was literally the bare minimum so I’ve got another course booked in March that my auntie has very generously paid for with a well known company in my area. Jen, they’re C curl and I did 9 on...

    Facial fillers and Botox

    Ah, I’m sorry I can’t be any help with regards to if they help with dryness, only through personal experience I know it doesn’t really make a difference to mine! Whether you end up having fillers or not though, I would definitely recommend the deep repair balm I mentioned in my last post. Let me...

    Facial fillers and Botox

    I general, no they don’t get dry because of the fillers, I get dry lips anyway so if you don’t usually have dry lips, it shouldn’t be an issue x

    Facial fillers and Botox

    I’ve always found they’re quite dry on the first day, but just using vaseline or something similar helps! My lady gives me a fab sample size of Teoxane Deep Repair Balm which is amazing! I think after Christmas I’m going to get myself a full size tube as it’s amazing, it can be used to help heal...

    Facial fillers and Botox

    I actually had my lips filled this afternoon! I’ve had it done a couple of times before and love it! Only a tiny bit of pain, which isn’t even pain, just a slight bit of discomfort on certain injection sites! My lady uses Teosyal Kiss which is brilliant, however she used Teyosal RHA4 today and...

    Eyelash extension course

    Hi, not sure if this is in the correct place, but I’m new here! Having managed a pub for the last 2 years, I left earlier in the year due to stress, long unsociable hours, and a mental break down at 23! I’ve decided I would like to train in eyelash extensions and realise this takes a lot of time...
