    Question for techs currently training

    I just wondered what your provider is doing for you whilst we are in lockdown? Has your course been suspended? Are you just completing written work until you get back? Were you given the option to start from scratch (Ooh - accidental pun!) at a later date? Also, are you with a college or a...

    Lockdown grow out help?

    Hi! Can anyone advise me on how to best grow out a pixie cut if I’m forced to not be able to get to a hairdressers for a while yet? I work front line still so can’t get away with just shoving it under a baseball cap for a while til the awkward stage has passed!

    Age requirement for gel?

    Even if the mother is willing to sign a disclaimer it doesn’t cover you if anything should happen to the child. Your insurance company would expect you to follow industry standard health and safety regulations no matter what. Ultimately it’s your reputation on the line.

    Educating NSS clients?

    Hi! NSS stands for Non Standard Salon. This is basically any salon that doesn’t follow practices that are generally felt to be “best practice” within the beauty industry. So this can range from the nail techs not having a recognised qualification/insurance, not practising acceptable hygiene...

    Eyelash tint not taking

    I was literally watching a YouTube video earlier about this very subject and the technician applied a light coat of the peroxide directly to the brow first in order to open the cuticle of the brow hairs, then applied the tint as normal. I’ve not tried this myself but sounded like a helpful tip!

    Help with LVL products

    LashUs is also a 2 step rather than 3 step system and max processing time is 12 minutes.

    LVL or lash lift?

    LVL is the brand of product so, altho I didn’t personally train with LVL, you often find that companies who produce and train with their own product only certify you to use that particular product. So personally I’d prefer to do a generic training which teaches the overall technique that you can...

    Painting tiny/odd toe nails

    Very good point, to be fair. I recently had my eyes tested as I’m generally short sighted but have noticed that I’m needing to wear my glasses more recently for watching TV, etc. Turns out I need a “slight” prescription for closer up vision as well as distance vision so hopefully some new specs...

    Painting tiny/odd toe nails

    Thanks guys. She did send pics to me later in the evening and, to be fair, they weren’t great. The only reason I can think for the poor job was that the area where I was performing the pedi was poorly lit and I was also in my own light so causing a shadow as I was bent over her feet. [emoji26] I...

    Painting tiny/odd toe nails

    I didn’t I’m afraid. The only partial image I have is from the screenshot message the salon owner sent me.

    Painting tiny/odd toe nails

    Hi everyone. I have to say, I’m losing the will to go on atm as it seems I can’t do much right these days. And believe me I’m trying! So, today I did a spa pedicure for a lovely lady but her toe nails weren’t the best. Very tiny and a bit mis-shapen. Big toe nails had both fallen off last year...

    Confused, gel polish brand for newbie - help!

    Ooh - poss worth a mention- Premier Gels delivery is a wee bit slow, usually receive about 5 days after your order, but still worth it if you are able to factor that in.
