Thanks for all your help, I'll get onto this when I'm back from my holiday. Off camping to france for a week, havent packed yet but, most importantly, got my gels and eye lash extensions on! lol Louise x

I've been looking at the boyal bank of scotland deal via BABTAC and the silverlink but have found a deal if you are a member of the Federation of Small Businesses. Its with streamline. No st up fee, £15 plus vat for terminal, up to 1.95% for credit cards and up to 30p for debit but no minimum...

The salon i now work at (fairly upmarket with top end treatments) takes payment with bookings - sounds like this is becoming more popular - i think if you are running a salon its reasonable and professional. Louise x

I've been reading (with much interest) the recent threads regarding window stickers, but my question is... do you have your car signed - yes i know about the magnets at vista and will go have a look at their window stickers too... but what about car graphics? Do you know of any professional but...

I charge £10 to soak off gels which i have not applied but do not charge to soak off my own work. I do not charge soak off for my regulars or semi-regulars as, in my opinion, it encourages them to come more often. HTH's Louise x

BABTAC - but i have a home beauty room Louise x

I guess that would depend on several things such as what the current name is, do you want to overhaul the beauty side, what image are you trying to project to your potential clientèle - do you have a business and marketing plan yet? (i dont think you'll loose customers if you change the name, so...

Got mine from vista too, only i think i used the 'invitation' template and then completely changed all the text! I sign up for their emails then wait till they are free and only pay postage. Louise x

Its great, Carl has done you proud with the logo too! just one thing, I'm looking at the site on a mac using firefox as my browser and the text is not wrapping correctly on the 'about me' page (are you using a typewriter font?)- most people use pc's and IE so shouldnt be a problem if you cant...

Wow, thanks for this, I was just going to ask the same questions and here it is with the answers too. I believe that the Co-operative are more ethical than other banks too, sounds good as i am going to join the FSB anyway. Louise x

Hi there, I think the full term for this is 'Search Engine Optimisation' and although web site designers like to do this for you (and charge you) you can do this yourself - just as you have designed your own site. When i learn't to do this a few years a go you had to go into the html coding and...

I use Bio, mainly because their branding is so strong and people ask for it by name. My local distributor is very helpful and I collect so no minimum order for me. The colours are fab as are their matching varnishes. I've had no problems with yellowing nor with soaking off. HTH's Louise x

With ITEC we were taught to apply paraffin wax after filing and before cuticle work. Hand cream or oil should be applied before the wax and i use plastic bags rather than cling film. The salon I work in uses the sequence as bella nails suggests - it is a very good sequence although if your...

I'm being offered a few hours freelance work on saturday afternoons but I'm new to freelance and am a bit concerned i'm selling myself short :cry: or agreeing to conditions which are not 'normal' (if there is such a thing!) Do any of you ever work freelance? If so, what terms are standard -...

Thats a tough one, but dont give up. Have that chat with your boss and then dont make any quick decisions. Take your time to consider all your options, but only when you have all the facts. You may decide to take a beauty job in a salon whilst they are building the hotel - or go mobile/work...

I have been using the 6 unit hive roller system and love it. I prefer this to the spatula method (which I trained on in college) but they are different so it will depend on what you get on with. With the 6 units there is plenty of room to be heating up the next cartridges and/or paraffin wax...

Hi, and well done, you will love your course, good luck for september. :) i have my level 2 but have added on some extra bits such as gel nails (bio) eye lash extensions and a few others - this helps. You could also study further part time (one eve per week) to get your level 3 massage, this...
