    Laurens Gold 60 feedback

    The weird thing is I’m not finding any social Media on it at all either? I know it’s new but nothing?

    Lash lift/lash perm

    If your course was salon system then that's the products you would be insured to use... the silicone shields are reusable. With lotions off eBay you have no idea of knowing what is actually in the pack, and your insurance would only cover products bought from a professional supplier. X

    Dermaplaning

    I'm surprised you can do any lash training without having done eye treatments first. But then I read LVL are happy to teach Lash lift then tell you you can't tint... I would hope things haven't changed that much that you can now be insured without the basics. It follows that a lash client might...

    Bored, what treatments recharged you?

    i try to add a new treatment at least once a year, some are more popular than others..... In the last few years I've done: dermaplaning, brow extensions, microneedling, What treatments have you trained in that's brought the passion back?

    Lash lift after care

    I've had this argument with a company this week, they say water can split the reformed bonds in the hair and it's still processing for 48hrs....then told me to Google! Rubbish! Neutraliser/setting lotion does just that, it stops and sets the action of the perm/lift lotion....and remember there...

    Who to accredit courses with

    The guild now don't accept manuals unless it's something they don't already offer. You can only teach their Gti courses now, so payment is through them and it's their manuals and certificates. They also won't honour the adding of additional courses to people already accredited to teach their own...

    Looking for a rapid tan

    seems like I'm the last to know about Lauren's way I'm now looking for a replacement, especially a rapid tan...I also use Brown Bitz which I love, but they don't do a rapid.

    Health & Safety

    ive been speaking with my insurers regarding a staff member to ensure they are covered....they advised me, and I quote... " there may be a health and safety issue, you should check with your health and safety officer" Anyone have any idea if that would just be me? It's my salon, me and a couple...

    Louboutin nails - new trend?

    You have to do the underside first then the top or it becomes messy around the free edge when sealing... I find it easier to wrap then soak the free edge in a bowl of remover.

    Lash lift help!

    Lash lift problems are generally always therapist error. One lifting better than the other could be anything from residue left on lashes from make up or remover, firmness when lifting to improper positioning of the rod or lotions. Wait a few days and redo the less lifted side, just reduce your...

    SPMU working in salons?

    There has to be a separate sink with hot water available in the treatment room for hand washing or needle stick injuries, this shouldn't for example be the sink where the dishes are washed and yes they want elbow or infra red operated so your not using your hands. Unfortunately it's been my...

    Staff working in another salon

    I had a girl do this years ago but the salon was miles away and I knew the boss well so it worked ok, eventually though she chose the other place to increase her hours as it was closer to home.

    SPMU-the natural next step?

    Spmu is more about your abilities rather than who costs the most to train with... I originally trained with Finishing Touches before most of the other companies around now were even thinking about it. Back then there was dawn cragg and Louise Walsh so my point is many of the "masters" out...
