    Any Ideas On What to Do With A Small Room In A Hair Salon?

If a couch can be fitted in there then waxing, massage, body treatments, facials can be done without causing a problem with the...

Then further down the line if the business goes well and you make a good profit you can think about renting a room,salon etc. It would be a shame at the moment to...

    Eyelash tinting black or blue/black?

    Hi:) I was always taught that blue/black gives a much more bolder end result. So ask the client what look they are after. If a subtle look is desired then I would go for the black. If a more striking result is wanted then go for the blue/black. Can I just say a huge welcome to the site aswell...

    Eyelashes too small?

    Hiya:) I have never heard of short eyelashes being a contra-indication to tinting either??:confused: I always thought that if a client has short stubbly lashes then tinting will really emphasise them! I wonder if she meant eyelash perming? as thats a real nightmare with very short lashes. As...
