    Please help, hair extension crisis!

    Wow these are the worst hair extensions I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of bad ones! The colour is nothing like your natural colour and your scalp looks so sore :/ Disgusting that she isn't insured. Whatever you decide to do I hope your hair and scalp is ok and this also teaches her a lesson...

    Express lashes

    They seem to be lasting ok I just feel like my application isn't great and I think the eyes being open is freaking me out a bit. I just don't think they look that good. As you say it's hard when you're used to isolating lashes :/

    Express lashes

    Yes the individual express lashes that are placed directly on top, not the lash extensions where you isolate and place on each individual lash. I think I will try doing them sat down with eye pads on and their eyes closed then and see if I get used to it a bit more. Also I'm going to buy strip...

    Interesting you were taught to do it with the eyes closed. Who did you train with?

    Flat rent day rate

    Oh and forgot to say I feel best to charge either weekly or monthly in advance but you can discuss that with her to see what works better for you both!

    Flat rent day rate

    I do a daily rate and agree on the set days that they will be working right from the start. I.e if she says she will work 2 days a week minimum she pays for 2 day's regardless of her being there or not. Then any extra days she decides to do on top of that just charge her the same daily rate and...

    Express lashes

    Hi I have just started doing the Lala express lashes. I'm used to doing the individual lash extensions but struggling more with the express lashes as I'm new to them. Thought they'd be easier! I've had a couple of clients that I've practiced on that won't keep their eyes still does anyone do...

    Shellac removal from LCN

    I personally find it takes ages to file gel polish off of a hard gel but to be honest I use Gelish so perhaps Shellac is easier

    Shellac removal from LCN

    Is it a non porous gel that needs to be filed off rather than soaked off? If so remove the Shellac as normal then file down/rebalance the hard gel underneath before reapplying gel as usual :)

    Epibrow training

    Hi geeks.. Just wondered has anyone trained with epibrow recently and if so what are your thoughts? Also what are you charging for this service and what do you think of the results? Keen to train in this but need to know more first as its a lot of money to part with! X

    I'm mobile and can't to decide between Shellac and Gelish.

    I have clients whose Gelish can last 4 weeks, most of mine come every 3 weeks. I also use the Gelish LED lamp. However some of the Gelish colours are not great some can be too runny so was a bit trial and error picking all the best ones! Not used shellac before so can't comment but I have a LOT...

    Opening a new salon with no clients (please help stylists & owners)

    I would say if it's your dream then go for it! Although, same for me as others have said my first year I lost money, second year broke even and finally in my third year I'm making money and doing well! I think you have all the right ideas just research the area really well and only do it if you...

    Advice please: wages

    I have a hair and beauty salon and I am a trained beauty and holistic therapist myself. I rent chairs out to stylists which I find so straight forward, they pay me a daily rate and have to have set days that they pay me for but they come and go as they please. That way you get paid whether they...

    Tips on speeding up eyelash extension application

    I take 2 hours 15 to do a full set with every lash covered but I find the loose lashes are what takes the time to set up. I'm looking to use the lashes already stuck on the strips just to save time x

    Best lash tweezers

    Hi there, I'm fairly new at doing lash extensions and although I'm pleased with the lashes I'm doing (Lash perfect) I'm finding the tweezers are slowing me up a bit! Can anyone recommend some better tweezers, like maybe the ones that are curved at the end? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks x

    Rosacea help!

    I would say this is rosacea from the red patch on her cheek that the spots are in and the redness around her nose. As said above she needs to see her GP as they may need to prescribe an anti biotic cream. Also Eucerin do a cream for rosacea which calms the skin and is green tinged to tone the...

    Eyelash extensions-are you suppose to shampoo them?

    I've not actually heard about this until now. I would hope that our lash suppliers bring out a 'lash wash' of some description if this is the case!

    Shellac and chevron design

    Yeah give it a try, everyone is different but I am definitely better with freehand. Didn't realise it until I gave it a go after messing about with tape and stencils for so long! :)
