Hi there :) I've been searching tirelessly for a nice simple black beauty tunic that is breathable - with some percantage of cotton in the fabric, rather than the 100% Polyester ones that can make you sweat. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks x

Hello! Just wondered if a client has natural straight or slightly down turning lashes would it be ok to do a lash lift treatment like LVL straight before applying lash extensions??? Also would pre-lifting the lashes provide a better contact area between the lash and the extension? i.e. a...

I recently had a client that sliced up the tip of her index finger whilst picking out a stubborn piece of mushroom from a handheld blender. Apparently it just slipped out of her grip, so she instinctively grabbed and switched it on! Oouch!

Just wondered whether regular use of Scrubfresh i.e. weekly (for manicures), dry out the nails too much? I personally don't think this is the case, however at my workplace we used to use BondAid by OPI but it has now been stopped due to 'manicure-a-week' clients experiencing peeling after a...

Hi geeks, Just wondered if anyone could give me any tips on removing a dark polish stain from a white T-shirt? :eek: Sounds hopeless but you never know...

Sorry to bombard the forum with threads, I have one more question... I am in the process of putting together a kit of products to do mobile manicures, and just wondered how many colours you would recommend to take which would give the client a healthy selection of french, neutral, darks, reds...

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me about any products regarding natural nail care, L&P, gel - in fact anything about nail treatments that has been a real product breakthrough over the past couple of years. Reason I ask is I took a bit of a break from nails to study at uni and am...

When I realised that I would no longer be doing enhancements at my salon (for reason beyond my control regarding smell of product) I thought I would be left feeling dissatisfied with doing Manicures and Pedicures only; as I always thrived on the artistic side of creating a beautiful set of...

Just wondered whether anyone sharpens their nippers when needed, or do you prefer to buy a new pair? If you do get them sharpened are they as good as new when you get them back, or do you find they dull down quicker? Just wondered whether this would be a more cost effective option for heavy...

Does anyone else find the level of education of their nail tech work colleagues to be extremely varied. There is one particular girl at my spa who when squirting the gel hand sanitiser at the beginning of the treatment will say "this is just to sterilise your hands" :eek: and often during...

Hi geeks :) I was just wondering when it comes to doing manicures wouldn't nail polish last longer on the natural nail if it had a full prep carried out - which would include removing the surface shine? And if so why do so many salons (including where I work) make it a standard procedure to...

I just wondered how everyone finds keeping the conversation going with clients whilst maintaining a strict time schedule. If like me you work in a busy salon with back-to-back appointments (often 1/2 hour manicures non-stop for 3+ hours at a time!), do you not find that when you engage in...
