Worst home hair job I was privvy to was several years ago. A flat-mate and I agreed to help another flat-mate to bleach her hair blonde. Unfortunately the temporary black dye that had 'washed out' hadn't. The poor girl had beautiful blonde inch long roots, the rest of her hair was...

It may sound like overkill, but it is much better to be safe than sorry. If your clients does go on to have a miscarriage, it is incredibly unlikely that anything you have done will have caused it - but your client may link the two in her mind. I linked an incident at work with my miscarriage...

OOC - what do you do if a client says they don't have an ironing board? My mum does her ironing on the kitchen table, as she can't set up/take down an ironing board, and a friend has a 'built-in' one in her kitchen, and there is no way you would be able to get someone either side of it.

Its changed a bit - its up to 39 weeks of maternity allowance now, and its £112 - its all in the link in my first post.

That depends on your self-employed status - basically, if you are regarded as an employee then yes (i.e. via a limited company). If you are a sole trader or a partnership, then no. You may be entitled to maternity allowance fro your local jobcentre plus though. See Jobcentre Plus - Working...

You can set the loss off against previous years income, if thats more beneficial, rather than against future income. If you set it off against next years, you set it against the profit, no matter how much - so you can end up not getting any tax advantage from it. If you paid tax in a previous...

I had someone on the phone insisting that I had agreed to the advertising, and as it was a charity thing, implying that I was basically a heartless cow, and that they had spent the money I had pledged already on printing the materials. Etc etc. Except I am a one woman band and I knew I hadn't...

I'd rather avoid refectocil, as it has not been deemed safe enough to be sold in north america - I'm not sure then why its ok here...

Thanks for the replies. The products are new, just had them maybe two weeks at the most, so thats not the problem, and her eyebrows aren't generally grey - although she does have varying colours, and the lighter colours in her eyebrows don't take as well. I'll check with her about toner use -...

One of my clients eyebrows just will not stay tinted - it starts to fade after a week. Her eyelashes are fine though. Is there anything that can be done to help the tint stay for longer, or any particular brands of tint that are better than others? TIA

In that case, maybe you should stick to what you know? I would agree with Gill - you don't have time now to find a spray tan that you really like, and if it goes wrong now you are scuppered - so if the cream tan works for you, go with that.

I used to conceal before applying founadtion, but now I always conceal and colour correct after foundation. Why? Now I use mineral make-up, I find bits that I might have had to colour correct or conceal with liquid foundation don't need doing or need only a slight application, once the...

What on earth made you guys try some of these things in the first place? I'm especially intruiged by putting crisps in the microwave... just why? I used to eat cheese and syrup sandwiches as a kid though - and I can tell you my why - my mum used to do it and forced us to try them.... not sure...

I use Beauty Express. I haven't used Ellisons although I have their catalogue - only because BE is so quick to delivery and I can order via their website (so I can order at silly times like 10pm etc), so I am happy to stick with them. I have been happy with their customer service too, although...

Yes, that would have been IPM then. NHM they would usually do the treatment first and the explanations second. You should try one sometime - if I was nearer I'd ... umm.. 'give you one' as it were because it really has to be experienced to be understood.

I don't think No Hands Massage Co did seminars last year - maybe that was Injury Prevention instead? Its similar but different. No Hands is trademarked so can't be used by any other people training in hands-free techniques. Was it an american woman called Jennifer that took the seminar?

Hi I am a NHM advanced practitioner. I absolutely love it, and would highly recommend it. I do think that it's either for you or not though. The first TT course is not expensive, and gives you everything you need to use techniques on the back of the body - sounds odd maybe, but the most...

The crude oil comment was purely a reply to you: The process needed to refine crude oil is explained here Oil refinery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - and surely you agree that mineral oil isn't close to it's natural (crude) state? Whereas the minerals used in make-up have just been...

Crude oil may be natural, but I certainly wouldn't want to put it on my skin! And it is possible to define substance as natural, just because everything we have is derived from something in nature - but there are some products that are used in close to their natural state. Mineral oil isn't...
