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...

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

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

Hi there can anyone recommend what Gelish colour to get that is a bright silver/glittery one? Basically the silver equivalent of say High voltage and Emerald dust. It's so hard to tell from the Nail harmony site and my local Sally's only has a limited supply. Thanks :)

Hi guys, I am practising the chevron and zig zag patterns with Gelish (At least trying to!) I have found the easier way seems to be cutting strips of scotch tape with pinking sheers, sticking it to the white colour and painting darker colour over the top. Trouble is whether I cure it after or...

Could anyone that has worked as a beauty therapist on a cruise ship let me know a few pros and cons. I really want to do it but have heard some not so great things about Steiner and how they treat their staff. Also that the food onboard supplied for the staff is really bad and unhealthy! So...

I am keen to apply for a job on a cruise ship, through Steiner. My concern is I have quite a large tattoo above my ankle. Does anybody know if they have any rules regarding tattoos or what the dresscode is? Obviously if I can wear trousers then it won't be an issue. Thanks :biggrin:

I just wanted to ask advice from you hairdressers out there. I'm wanting to go from dark brown coloured hair to blonde. I've booked in for full head bleach foils and I'm aware it could take a few attempts over a few weeks plus toning. My hair is long, is it likely it could break off or could I...

I am planning on doing my PTTLS training before working to become an accredited training provider. This is straight forward enough as far as most beauty courses are concerned. However, how would I go about the product I would use for gel nail extensions training? As I've said before, I do not...

I have a problem with clients bringing their (badly behaved) children into my salon. Quite often this results in them spinning around on my stool, spilling things etc- one even threw up! :mad: Ideally I would like to ban them altogether but realise this isn't practical! There is only so many...

I am looking into using Gelac polish in my salon but not heard a great deal about it. Any feedback would be great, good or bad! I have heard lots about Shellac but am an IBD user and want to keep with the same product range :green:

Just interested to know others thoughts on UV lamps and their possible connection with skin cancer on the hands and fingers. I haven't heard it mentioned recently but know there was a lot of press about it a while back. Every so often i find myself thinking about it, it does worry me a little...

Does anyone know much about becoming an accredited training provider? I'm am interested in applying to The Guild once i have done my lecturer course. I have my own salon but work alone and want to do short 1-2 day courses from the salon such as manicure, gel nails etc. I know this can be done...

I have a client who I have been doing gel nails on for years. Recently a couple of her fingers, from the skin all around the nail down to her knuckle has been very itchy and peeling. It looks almost like hard cracked skin you would find on someones heel! The nails are fine there is no fungus or...

Hi guys wondered if you could help me. I'm interested in getting Minx nails in the salon. Cannot find anything about UK base, training or pricing. Can anyone give me any info? Also how long do they/are they meant to last, are they profitable and whats the client feedback been so far? Thanks! :D

I cannot decide whether to do a course in airbrushing. A nail bar across the road from me has recently shut and i have a lot of their customers coming in to me asking if i airbrush. I don't want to sound snobby but i feel that airbrushing colourful patterns on the nails looks cheap and tacky and...

Does anyone have a favourite nail adhesive? I have tried loads i want the quickest setting one possible, i found the best was the 5 second instant adhesive but it is so strong the nozzle blocks in seconds! I like the 5 sec brush on adhesive but find i have to hold it on for at least 10 secs. Any...

I have a client who has the oiliest nails ever and having a nightmare! I dehydrate the nail and apply bonder (i'm an Ibd gel user) I have tried natural nail primer which still isn't making much difference. Do you think it would be ok to try a primer used for acrylics? I know it is stronger as it...

Whats all this about applying oil to the skin before waxing? I was always told to remove any oily residues prior to waxing as the wax won't stick properly and you end up waxing over the area twice to get all the hairs out. I know its to stop the wax fron sticking to the hairs rather then the...
