    Suggestions?

    Hi, everyone. It’s been awhile since I asked for some suggestions, and I had a question I feel pros can help guide me with. It must be where I live in NJ because there’s not many options. I work now so it’s unrealistic to drive 30-40 mins one way just to get my nails done. I just don’t have...

    A pro asking a pro for an opinion

    I am so good at matching colors with skin tone, finding the perfect blend for someone in my chair... BUT ME... I struggle. LOL I recently went ashier. I kinda like it. I think I lean to neutral olive... which confuses people. Some say I am warm and want to do a GOLD. Others, cool and ASHY...

    Balayage technique, customer "fix"

    I have a customer coming in tomorrow for an adjustment. I balayage her hair. She wants a blonde that'll grow out good with her brown. I figured I would section it into 3 parts, her third part being darker on top with lowlights... the rest of the blonde is closer to her root (the 2 upper sections...

    Sugar Bear Hair/Biotin driving me insane

    I just recently began work at a salon. All the girls have been telling their clients to grow hair to take the biotin or sugar bears. In my chair, girls ask me about them and I say it has no scientific basis, to eat healthy, use heat protectant, wash hair less often and tools so less split ends...

    Nail tech training

    Ok so I meant it when I said all this nail obsessing has sparked my interest quite a lot. This is actually how I got into hair... my little perfectionism and OCD made me pursue the career. Right now, I am blessed my hub is in a good situation so I can really think about my passions. I am...

    COVID, lost business getting back on my feet again

    Hi, everyone. I wonder how many people (between lockdowns and slow business) have shut during the pandemic. My business shut. It couldn't make it past the first lockdown. I didn't own it but when it closes down, so goes the employees. I am not going to complain because financially I am doing...

    2/3 week infills

    Loving life :) had the best week ever this far!! Finally feel free. I’m looking for salon positions. Just a quick word of advice. My tech warned me of some lifting initially due to being a first timer on acrylics and she’s not sure how they’d work with me. No problem. I think I see some lifting...

    Some happy news, one last piece of advice for the road?

    Ok, so I know I said I wanted to delete my account but I have some happy news I wanted to share because you have all been so wonderful. My hub who is a teacher in NY qualified to get vaccinated today and me too having underlying conditions in NJ. I will be able to go to salons again in 6 short...
