Oh yes, I will be sure to do that. I'm just curious to have other professionals opinions on what type of remover/brand is usually used on semi-permanent dye specifically. I understand that some work only on oxidative/permanent dyes. Also, are stylists usually able to transition a balayage to...

I recently had my hair done by a stylist. My hair was dry afterwards, but I let it settle and have been using Osmo Moisture Mask, and it feels amazing and silky again! My question is - my hair is too dark underneath. Upon having green removed, it was then toned with copper, and dyed with a...

Ah, I thought so. I don't feel good about this. I feel like I lost so much length too. She had done the initial balayage that I first had done before I applied the ultraviolet, and I was so pleased with it. To think that I had hiplength healthy virgin hair in January, ha. I wouldn't have...

Thank you for replying. I called her this morning, and she answered my questions. She explained that the chocolate brown is semi-permanent, and that it will fade.. and that the intention was for it to fade into an ashier colour which will blend better for our next appointment, and get me...

Hi everyone, I hope someone can give me some advice or info. I went to a hair appointment yesterday to have green staining removed from my waist-length bleached (balayage from the ears down) hair, put alot more ash blonde put in to the still dark brown ontop of my head, and a cut and blowdry. I...

Oh, I see what you mean :)

Thank you for your reply and advice. I did already set the basic prices unfortunately, but I am prepared that I will need to increase them in the future - perhaps after 6 months. I will just bite the bullet with it, and it won't be a great increase anyway - I think I will use your suggestion...

Hello everyone, I am having some issues with pricing, as a new nail tech. I am currently offering a new set of acrylic nails for £25, and infill for £20 - both including nail polish. Gel polish can be added onto the service for £7. I wanted to put a fair price on my work, and figured that I...

@NancySyd - Thankyou for making those points. It put things into perspective. I will continue my research and browse the selections of colours to see which ones I like the best. I will then be well-informed as to what's available, and do some shopping :) Thank you all for your recommendations.

Thank you for these suggestions. I will spend some time researching them online now. If anyone prefers any others, please do add them here - gel polish and especially regular polish.

Hi everyone. I have a few questions - I would like to know what professional nail polish brand is your favourite. Do you stock more than one brand, or choose to stick with one company for your colours? What about gel polish? I see that The Gel Bottle and Gelish are very popular. I am just...

Thank you for the suggestion Noodle, I will probably order something over the weekend :)

Those are truly beautiful, Bob. Was this effect created by layering the various colours of your gels, or is it just the uppermost layer?

Hey there, Just another query - can anyone recommend a good nail polish bottle bag for mobile tech use? The best one that I've been able to find so far is...

Thank you both for your points. It's given me some more to consider. Yes perfect10kb, I was thinking of doing special offers too, 20% off first service etc. Good idea to get noticed. I notice that many of the shop salons around here tend to just use nail polish on the extensions, and the...

I haven't heard of that Japanese design, I will look it up! I will also watch that Young Nails video myself. As for the Jelly Nails, I only bought them to use on myself as I just love the style. I don't know of any other brands I'm afraid. I have only tried these colours with a peel-off base...

Hi there :) I bought these for my own personal use - Jelly Nails https://www.jellynails.shop/ I find them really fun, and they really have that jelly/sweetie finish that I was looking for.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I am just starting up my new at home/mobile nail business. I am trying to arrange my prices at the moment, but one is confusing me in particular. I am thinking to offer acrylic and gel extensions for £30 including gem designs. Does it seem right for me to...

Okay, thanks for the advice everyone. I honestly want to do things the right way. I will attend the open evening for the VTCT in college - I'm told that the next one is next month, and that the course begins in September. They also offer shorter courses for certain areas such as gel polish...

Hi Trinity, thank you for your thoughts. https://www.thebeautyacademy.org/ - here is the link for The Beauty Academy. They have several centres nationwide. I may search the forums here, because I did see it mentioned on a thread somewhere, and the comments seemed good. The other option was...
