    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?

    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...

    Attitudes

    Currently advertising for staff and I'm shocked at the attitudes of some applicants some gems... One very abrupt "my name is.. I am qualified, If you want to know more phone me" "What may I ask, "experience" do you need to paint nails etc" "I can't do Saturday's cause I work in the salon...

    CND LED and Gelish

    scared to ask... But has anyone done the maths and decided if the new LED lamp cures gelish and if so what setting? Oh and the reverse, now that shellac does cure under LED will it cure in the 18g gelish lamp? One of my therapists regularly just uses whichever lamp is in the room so I want an...

    New Filter

    i want to replace the filter (the material carbon stuff) in my extractor, it's a Su Do static booth, but I've had no joy in months of trying to contact them. Can someone tell me is it the same stuff found in a cooker extractor that I can get in B&Q and cut to size?

    Keeping up/ahead

    It seems every hairdresser around now has a nail bar/beauty room/tooth whitener/Botox clinic. They also seem to offer treatments for next to nothing (which if someone is in having hair done they can do) As a beauty only salon what do to keep clients loyal?

    Striping tape

    Can you use striping tape layering shellac/gelish? Bought some that was more like masking tape and it was rubbish...didn't stick and didn't come away cleanly.

    Autoclave

    I've just read that "pressure cooker looking type autoclave sterilisers" are now not considered good enough for spmu. I've just been re licensed and the council specifically asked to see mine. Can anyone enlighten me?

    RVB make up

    Just to let you know (if anyone is using it) RVB make up range is being discontinued, it's just what's left in the warehouse...bummer as last year I spent a small fortune on the mobile light up case and will now struggle to stock it 😫

    Nioxin advice

    Hi, I just bought some in capital to try...never used it before, I was advised number 4 and bought the cleanser, conditioner and scalp treatment...and I was wondering if there is anything I should know from those with experience of using it.

    Do you practice what you preach?

    So I've had a s**t week! busy, peppered with worry and bad news, antibiotics, painkillers and topped off with some drinking and a curry....I was sitting thinking why am I sweating it's not warm, and as I rubbed my hand over my forehead I was horrified to find blisters all through my hairline...

    New breed of time wasters!

    So angry! In 20 years this is a first...3 bookings for tan, nails and waxing...advised to have waxing the day before...no show, then troop in today for nails only now "we won't bother with the tans" and proceed to discuss colours and designs etc...as the therapist goes to the shellac stand to...

    Recommendations - mail order waxes

    I currently use gel wax (strip) from Sally's but my local is shutting and I've had so many bad experiences with beauty express lately I refuse to rely on them any more... I'm looking for feedback on Adam & Eve, Delsera or any others before I decide...company satisfaction etc, speed of delivery...

    How would you proceed?

    Currently jumping through hoops again with the council for licensing. So it's a few hundred £'s for 3 years permission...notice has to be displayed in the window for a period of time for objections to be raised and announced in the local papers and council website. It appears that I may be the...
