Thank you 😊 I'm thinking of keeping one chair and refurbishing it. If I can... My table is on wheels too, as I have limited mobility I get in and manoeuvre it in to place 👍Arms are no good as it limits the seating area, so that's not a problem. Xx

That's fantastic thanks hun 😊 xx

Hi Everyone, I usually use a dining room chair for clients on the heavier side (I work from home and have pink foldable chairs for clients). However, we are losing the dining table set as it is much too large for our space. So I will be losing my chair (no storage space). Obviously, I do not...

I had a similar situation and it turned out to be great. Her mom was booked in and she decided that she would book too. Because of her mom, I couldn't cancel, so I had to do it. She was absolutely fine, never mentioned the incident and has now become a regular client. Have faith and don't be a...

I use footlogix fungal nail treatment xx

Hi 👋 I rebranded to Glitterbels, from Naio Nails. The only reason I did this is because Naio don't have their own lamp and, I needed this for my insurance. I have to say that they have fantastic customer service and are so helpful, both direct or on social media. The products are brilliant and...

Hi 👋 I had 3 new clients for nails the week before Christmas, but nothing after that. There is only one acrylic infill booked for the first week of January and I have a feeling that will be pushed to the end of January and will be a full set again. My pedi's seem to stay as a necessary...

Hi All, I changed careers due to health issues and have struggled to increase my client list. Even my model who only pays £15 has said that she cannot afford it anymore 🥺 I sit and rack my brains trying to think of ways to build up, but this is just so soul destroying. I cannot travel as I am...

Hi @Mj88 I unfortunately did the same thing. Although it is a huge loss to bare, you will need to do another course to gain insurance. But look at it this way, some of the knowledge you have gained will stand you in good stead for another course. These courses are not regulated, but are not...

I don't think it's bad on your part at all. You have to do what you feel is right, to protect yourself. It shows what a strong woman you are to persevere when surrounded by negativity. I hope that you get yourself back up to where you want to be x

It's a shame that they won't pay you. But, if you are practicing on yourself and a practice hand, you won't be getting any money anyway... I would just use them - and do them at home so they don't have to come to the salon. Have you spoken to them and asked why they don't support your career...

Hi @Trina Jordan, I am also disabled and found filing and shaping awkward at the start. I have found that it's ok to get the client to move too. While I sit, which is comfortable to me, I also ask the client to move their hands so that they are straight on. Shape slowly, check the shape...

@TheDuchess - Hi and thank you so much for your reply 😊 It has given me lots to think about and seems so much more organised. My husband tells me that, I try to do everything all at once and burn myself out... As I am currently ill again, after a couple of chaotic weeks (I never thought having...

Good morning All, I don't know if anyone can help, or if this is just a vent... I qualified April 2021. I work from home and offer Mani's, pedi's, gel polish, L&P and, brush on builder. I have had a couple of clients that have had a service, but not returned.. I have 5 family/friends that have...

Hi Kat27bro, I work from home and have personal insurance (they are aware I work from home), but I also have insurance through my house insurance. You are also required to notify your mortgage provider x

I would go for a coffee and a chat with the lady that is against it. There could be lots of reasons as to why she doesn't want to do it. Maybe she is computer illiterate? Maybe her customers are older and she is worried that she will lose them. Small towns have set ways and You need to become...

I think that would help as long as you have experienced members answering the questions. We would end up in the same predicament, with newbies answering questions that could be factually incorrect. I know there is a ask a professional thread, but that is where the problems seem to lie. The give...

I always look to expand training in my field. Once you are in a certain industry it is easier to find what you need. But getting into an industry is harder, all you get is pages and pages of courses. Of course, when you speak to the course providers, very little information is given and you're...

You cannot have a nail without an apex. Otherwise the extension will break and could cause damage to the natural nail. The only way I can think of, without touching the apex is to tilt your file upwards when filing from below.
