    Daughter’s curly hair

    I have 3c curls, use SLS free shampoo once a week, comb in the shower with cheap conditioner, then deep condition. I use leave in conditioner every day and spritz with water and sometimes a little alcohol free hair gel. It's a parlava but the only way to stop dry, frizzy, knotty hair. I also pop...

    Permission for complementary therapy salon living in a housing association property?

    Hi I rent from Guinness Partnership and they said yes I can work from home with a review period to see if there was any disturbance to other residents. That was 6 years ago and everything has been fine, in fact it is other residents noise that sometimes interrupt my treatments!

    Thermal mitts and booties - are they popular?

    Same, I don't get that many deluxe mani's and pedi's anymore either...what I do use them for is for speeding up the removal time of gel polishes...set them on a low setting, put the wraps on, put hands or feet in plastic bags (like when doing a foot/hand mask) and pop them in the mitts/booties...

    Joke of the day

    I'm not quite sure why I would need to be polite to someone who was being over pushy and disrespectful or why I would need to give her any time. If she offered a service which complemented what I do but not the same and had a different approach it may have been a different story. The fact is she...

    Joke of the day

    Impossible client

    I wouldn't bend over backwards for a customer that is a pain in the *** just be firm with the timings required for treatments and your available hours like the other geeks have said and if she can't flex with that, then so be it
