    Do I need to cut my acrylic nails down?

    My current nails are as shown in the photo attached. My tech said there are bubbles on the nail now which is why she wants to begin again and I’ve also noticed on the underside my nails are slightly white/patchy but they’re strong and give me no problems. I wouldn’t say my tech is trying to...

    Do I need to cut my acrylic nails down?

    Hello, I’ve been getting acrylic nails for the last six months or so but my natural nails are quite long so I don’t have extensions. My nail tech says the next time she wants to start afresh with the acrylic and she’s also recommended that I cut my natural nails down and have a tip put on them...

    Tint turned hair auburn

    hello, My friend has a tint put on her naturally dark hair (I’d say she’s around a level 4/5) and the tint was a level 8. The hairdresser didn’t use any bleach, just tint. Now instead of being blonde, her hair looks a lot more auburn and is still pretty dark too. Dan anyone explain why this...

    Bleached my hair with highlights but not light enough

    She has suggested coming back to have more highlights added to my regrowth section but said she doesn’t want to tone again because I only had my hair toned last week and she said it’ll deposit too much pigment. Is that true even if she used the same toner as last time? I worry that the added...

    Bleached my hair with highlights but not light enough

    Hello, I had bleach highlights put in a week ago after 4 months of no colour due to lockdown. I had lots of fine highlights and I’m happy with the blend - there is no stripeyness and a toner was used to make the highlights a golden tone. The issue is my hair has not gone as light as I hoped...

    Acrylics left on over 3 months (no refill)

    Thanks everyone for your advice - I ended up having them cut down and tips out on each of them - hopefully my natural nails will redevelop their strength soon!

    Acrylics left on over 3 months (no refill)

    Thank you - I’m hoping that can happen as I don’t want to have to cut my nails right down and rely on extensions tips! My only concern is as you have mentioned - could I have damaged my natural nails through keeping the acrylic unmaintained and growing you for so long? 😳😱 I have noticed the...

    Acrylics left on over 3 months (no refill)

    Thanks for your reply. These aren’t extensions - they are my own natural nails which I had an acrylic overlay put on at the end of December. The line you see is where the acrylic has grown up to and yes I Have painted over the nails with a polish of my own. I didn’t remove the acrylic as I...

    Acrylics left on over 3 months (no refill)

    Hello, I’ve kept my acrylic nails on all through the latest UK lockdown and not had any refills so the regrowth is a lot :O I filed the ‘ledge’ of acrylic down 6 weeks ago to try and prevent too much unevenness but didn’t want to get rid of all of it as I find without any acrylic base my nails...

    Bleach highlights after lockdown

    Hello, I am getting my hair bleached after lockdown and I have about 2 inches of regrowth. My base colour is a 3/4 and I normally go to a level 10 before having a toner. I never normally have this much regrowth though and I’m worried the overall colour won’t be as bright as I want because of...

    Tape hair extensions refit - help!

    I have a client who has had tape in hair extensions since early December and obviously is now overdue a refit. She has asked whether she needs to remove them herself but having sent me some photos, her extensions seem to still be holding up well: none have slipped, they don’t appear...
