I have a client who keeps requesting long, thick builder gel with tips. She’s been having acrylic for years (not by me) and I have converted her, however, she is of ill health, having falls, breaking nails and damaging her nails. I have told her a few times now to have a break as it is not good...

Hi, so I would like to get some honest advice. I have posted similar threads in the past and I have also mentioned my previous issues regarding my beauty career. I am going to explain my whole situation. I’m lost on what to do 😢 It’s a long read, sorry I started beauty in 2018, had my daughter...

Hi so I’ve been doing tinting for years now and I have been doing brow lamination for around a year. Anyway, I had a regular client in yesterday for her brow lam, which includes a tint & shape, her brow tail on her left brow didn’t take! The rest did! I thought this was so odd. She had hair but...

I HATE doing them! I am employed and my manager is only in one/two days a week so have to do them! I have one regular client who has literally NO lashes and I mean none! She expects me to put individual lashes on non existent lashes and it bugs me so much because on this client, as well as most...

Hi so I’m currently doing my level 3 beauty therapy apprenticeship (minimum wage may I add), my manager has gone on maternity leave and it’s only me doing numerous beauty treatments, my loyal clients, new clients and her loyal clients. So I’m extra busy (which is fine, I like being busy) so you...

So our new policy is if we have a no-show over 2/3 times for appointments we ask for the payment as it’s a block of our time wasted (I obviously know unless it’s booked through Treatwell they are going to refuse to pay) but I rang this lady today and explained the policy politely but firmly and...

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right forum for this. I’ve been doing beauty on an off since 2018. Some weeks I love it, some weeks I hate it and feel really low and fed up. Depends what mood I’m in, and what type of clients I have. Is this normal? Or am I loosing my love for beauty? I’m really...

Hi so I use The Gel Bottle, Glossify & Beetles Gel. I prefer Glossify & Beetles. Does anyone else feel the same? I find the reddish colours do not last well at all!! The brand also causes allergic reactions (happened to one of my clients!) Top coat isn’t great either.

Hi everyone so I’ve been doing intimate waxing for quite some time now, I’ve only ever used hot wax on the intimate area, the only time I’ve used strip is if I’m running low and I use it around the thigh and top of the area. When I get to the inner part, always hot wax. So we have ran out of hot...

So I have a wax pot that I use in salon, one hole filled with hot wax and one with warm wax (strip wax) I was doing a Hollywood on a very hairy client today, when I say very hairy I mean to the point I was really really struggling to remove it. I advised for her sake and comfort next time not to...

I feel like I’ve been posting a lot on here recently! 🙄 Does anyone else notice that with the LIGHT colours only, it can leave black dots on some nails? I have to do top coat, buff, then re apply colour coat and top coat. It doesn’t happen with any darker colours

We have been using builder gel by The Gel Bottle, she gets 10 days out of them at the most until they lift. I really make sure I dehydrate the nails and cap the free edge… I over do it if anything as each time I’m like these ones are not popping off! There’s only been one time where they lasted...

Hi can anyone give some ideas on how to make my usual pedi routine better or does it sound ok? I know so many people do it different. Just want to make sure all of my treatments are to the highest standard. • Look at feet for any contraindications, remove polish if needed, sanitise feet •Fill...

Can you mix builder gels? I did a more pinky colour today on a regular client and you could see the difference I feel awful If they want a complete new colour do I soak off and re do?

Sometimes I need to do 4 coats of the very light colours? Is this normal?

Hello I’ve recently started doing facials, I’m getting better and I can get all of the facial makeup off however, only on certain clients, I find it difficult getting mascara and lip stick off. I scrub and scrub and end up being too harsh and don’t get anywhere. Any tips?

Hello this is my first time dealing with a possible reaction to a treatment. I had a lady in today for a spray tan who has told me that since having her Covid vaccines, she’s had reactions to all sorts on her skin and been through a rough few months with being poorly too. All down to the...
