    Waxing temperature

    I currently use the Sienna Double wax heater and only use warm wax. In the 1000cc I've got some pink wax from Salon Services (two pots) so I can get a nice deep dip for leg waxes and then Hive Lavendar in my 500cc so I can easily dip in for brows/lip. I decided to decant this time, usually I...

    Current PPE rules

    Does anyone know what the rules are now on masks and visors? A lot of nail techs are saying that only masks are needed now, no visors/goggles. Yet Gov.Uk still says we should be wearing both. Have I missed something? And can answers be backed up with sources please? Someone local had a Covid...

    Waxing black skin

    Hi, I’ve had my first black waxing client for a full leg at the end of May. I may be completely over thinking here, but there seems to be mixed opinions on which type of wax is best to use, what hair type to expect. I am currently 100% strip wax. Every client has preferred this when it comes to...

    Standard nail polish

    Hi, me again. I've got a client coming in on Monday for a pedicure with standard polish, not gel. She says she's had a reaction to gel polish before, but she swears she's not allergic to any of the ingredients🧐 Anyway, I carry about 25 standard polishes that I usually use for stamping, but...

    Fake CND Shellac?

    I've never purchased or used any CND products (except solar oil, back when Ellison's were still a supplier), so I'm absolutely no expert. My friend got me 2 Shellac bottles for Christmas, both genuine shade names. When I went to swatch them, the smell was so strong and thought something was...

    Lash retention, please help!

    I qualified in lash extensions with Ellisons back in March (just over a week before lockdown!!) so I only had maybe 3/4 practices before a huge break. I started lashing again about 6 weeks ago, making it very clear that I am still practising and therefore only charging £10 a set. I'd say I've...

    E-file prices

    Hi guys, I’m a relatively new nail tech, (gel only, no acrylic) and only really use my e-file for cuticle work as I find hand filing is All I need for the main prep. I bought my e-file from amazon for no more than £25 and honestly I haven’t found an issue with it, there’s very little vibration...

    Bluesky top coat and base dripping issues

    I’m not sure if this is something anyone else using bluesky topcoat/base has experienced, but every time I use them, it’s as if there’s top coat at the top of the brush(lid end), that ends up dripping on either my hand, my clients hand or my nail table. I have recently purchased fresh bottles so...
