Hi, Thanks for your replies. I don't think that I explained my condition correctly in my thread, sorry! I fully agree with your comments that someone with a genuine allergy to PPD shouldn't go anywhere near hair colouring. My reason for seeming a little wreckless with my health is that I...

Hi! My best friend passed her NVQ 2 & 3 in hairdressing at the age of 33 and she loved it. I don't think its ever too old to learn something new so long as you have the enthusiasm for it :biggrin:Can't help with places to study in your area sorry as its a bit far from me, but if you google...

Hi all! My recent thread regarding hairdressing training has brought up a question about allergic reactions which I'm unsure about. I am allergic to hair colouring due to having a temporary tattoo some years ago in Greece which contained black dye. Colour has to be in contact with my skin...

The odd splash of tint is not a problem for me, it has to be in contact with my skin for a prolonged time as with a patch test to cause me problems. I'm always very careful and wear gloves if I touch colour, when washing out tint bowls etc and I have my hair highlighted with foils so it doesn't...

Hi, Thanks for replying. The reason for wanting an NVQ level 1 is so that the clients are aware I have had some officially recognised training in relation to hairdressing. I occassionally do the "saturday girl" jobs such as shampooing etc but if I do the level 1, I could also assist in...

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some information regarding NVQ Level 1 in hairdressing. I am currently fully trained in nails and work in my sisters hair salon on saturdays. I am looking into doing the Level 1 nvq in hairdressing so that I would be able to help her out when I'm not busy with...

Thanks ever so much! Thats just what I was after. :)

Hi, Thanks for the advice! I've emailed Hive to ask them if they sell empty pots or if they can advise what sort of pot is suitable.:)

Hello! Thanks for the replies! :) I've got the 800cc heater with the purple lid. It said it was suitable for all types of wax and you can put the tubs of wax directly into it. Unfortunately I've bought chocolate wax and strawberry wax, but none of it came in a tub/container! As you...

Hello! Listed this in nail forum originally, but then it just dawned on me that here is probably a better place! Hope someone can help me. I've just bought myself a lovely new wax heater from Hive which it says I can put the pot/jar of wax straight into.:) Unfortunately, the chocolate wax and...

Hello! I've just bought myself a lovely new wax heater from Hive which it says I can put the pot/jar of wax straight into.:) Unfortunately, the chocolate wax and strawberry wax I have ordered comes in a plastic bag! Can you buy empty pots suitable for putting directly into the heater with...

Hello!!:) I currently do paraffin wax manicures, but only use plain wax. I wanted to expand my services by adding a chocolate wax manicure too and possibly a few others. I have a wax bath (large type that you can fit a hand in) and I can't empty it inbetween wax "flavours" as it would be...

Congratulations!! Lots of luck with your salon in the future :hug:xx

I completed my training quite a few years ago, but due to fulltime office job have never got in as much practice as I should. I have just started to rope in a collection of guinea pigs to get me going properly on L & P. This was one of my first sets for quite some time and there are quite a...
