I finally have a bit more freedom from my boys and and really keen to increase my business on 2015. I've thought of a recommend a friend scheme for starters, but before I post on my facebook page and website - I'd be very grateful if anyone out there would have time to check it makes sense and...

I've been Shellac-ing for three years and I've just had my first lady saying they've chipped and lifted after 2 days and and that she's going to have to soak them off herself as she is away for the weekend. This is a first for me! I always make a point of checking my bulbs etc before each...

Are there any waxing geeks in either Street or Shepton Mallet, Somerset? I have a client moving and she' d like to find a home salon if possible. I'm seeing her tomorrow and I can pass on details if anyone is interested in a new regular client. She has brows and top lip every 3 weeks.

Just had an email from a new client asking to book in for a manicure, pedicure and an ELT treatment. She said she was given one of my business cards by another of my clients but I don't know what ELT is? Have I gone momentarily brain dead - should I know? All the treatments I offer are...

For geeks who already offer both Brisa Gel and Brisa lite removable sculpting gels - how do you decide which gel to use? Do you need both in your business? I realise Brisa is a buff off and Brisa Lite sculpting is a soak off - so do you ask the client which they would prefer or are there...

I want to do something with eyelashes and I'm trying to make my mind up between the above. Go for the LVL (a fairly long train journey away and quite pricey with kit as well) or a combined Lash Lift with MyScara course which is quite a lot cheaper and only half hour away from me by car. I'm...

I'd really like a few opinions on what you would do in this situation. I had a lady with a gift voucher who booked in to use it - for a luxury facial. This was an evening appointment at my home salon and she didn't turn up. I'd obviously spent half an hour preparing my room, products and...

Had to share - I've just been practicing on colour pops with the new Shellac colours and tried Midnight Swim with the pink gold sparkle additive to create an ombre affect - absolutely gorgeous! Haven't got time to post a pic as client coming in a min, but if you want to see it will try and...

To those of you who are old hands at Brisa - just wondering what your application time is for a full set of pink and white sculpted over tips? I've only just converted and it's taking me 3 hours!:eek: (not yet on paying clients) What would be a good time to aim for? I've also been...

I did my Brisa conversion today in Bournemouth. This is my first set and I'd love some feedback please! :)

Hope I've posted in the right place! If you haven't signed up for Doug Schoon's education emails it's well worth it! "New Education Released Today, "Straight Talk" about UV lamps is now available. If you didn't get a copy, it's not too late. Send your name, country and e-mail address to...

Just booked my Brisa conversion course in Bournemouth on 1st August - anyone else going? Been meaning to do it for ages so very much looking forward to it! Has anyone else converted to Brisa recently? I'd love to hear how you are getting on with it.:D

I had a lady pop in this morning for a gift voucher for a friend and she showed me her toenails and asked if I could do anything with them. Now they are really badly affected by a fungal infection and barely any toenail there. The doctor won't treat as she has a very longstanding kidney...

I've just read on my fb page about a young lady who removed the chip from her Oyster Card and set into one of her nail enhancements so she could just wave her hand over the sensors while using the tube to open gates etc! Very resourceful and clever me thinks! Made me smile anyway!:D It would...

I've been wanting to do these for a while now and reading all the threads, what crystals are best etc. Well, I now have two different sizes, ss5 for fingernails and ss7 for toenails. I have a set of size 9 on my toes that I did to see how many crystals I used and to try and calculate a price...

Would you repair a single chip in Shellac a week after application for free? Or would you charge. If so what is reasonable? I've been doing the odd repair for nothing but I'm getting a bit irritated as I know these two particular people don't look after their nails properly - in fact they...

I just wondered what your own individual policy is on lifting if and when it occurs. I don't do very many gel enhancements any more as most people have moved over to Shellac but I do do a few and I'm not overly experienced even though I've been doing them for two years - not many people have...

I'm really ready to do some more training and get stuck into something but not sure which way to go. The options are to invest more in nail training (already do shellac, minx and gel enhancements) and really go all out nails (I would convert to Brisa to start with), or start down the massage...

I've just had my Minx kit through with the large white infra red heat lamp and it says on the box you can use it for beauty treatments too! I've just done a quick google search and not found an awful lot of stuff but I'd love to know what else it is good for. Does anyone here use it for beauty...
