I thought the eldest I put enhancements on was 80 - turns out the lady's a bit 'odd' and she's actually only 60 - I don't see any reasons why there should be an upper age limit for enhancements, if the client is contraindication free?

I'd just like to have a little say here as a fellow Irish nail tech - I can see the angle that Jackie is coming from, however....... I couldn't care less where competitors are travelling from - the fact that competitors are seeing it as worthwhile to come to Ireland means that Ireland is...

Until 31st July 2008 - when you subscribe to Scratch you get an Essie Spa Professional kit - that includes, marine salts, exfoliating foot scrub, hydro-masque and Ylang Ylang leg & foot massage oil. This is all according to the subscription advert in the July edition of Scratch!! Hope this...

There are a number of reasons why nails lift - poor prep, incorrect mix ratio, product touching the skin....... Your tech should be able to fix it at your rebalance appointment - she should also be able to take steps to prevent it from happening again. But like liza2009 said - you may need...

I chose CND (Creative) and think they are the best!! :green: Contact Sweet Squared on 0845 210 6060 - they'll give you all the information you need. Good luck.

CND Heiress!!!! I ADORE this colour!! A close second is Hotski! :)

I'm sure he'll get bored of moaning at you - or used to the smell. But don't let it put you off what you want to do - there's give and take in every situation, so maybe it's time he started to play fair. I know some people find the smell of monomer awful - whenever I do nails around my dad -...

Did anyone read the small print on page 16 - you are exempt from the 90 day money back guarantee blah blah blah on the 'Diamond' package once seals are broken on the products - how are you meant to know if they're any good or not, unless you try them? Obviously we know they'd be poop beforehand...

If you had training - they'd have shown you how to rebalance!!!!

No - she said that they'd just turned green - and her reckoning was because of the chlorine. But she said it in a way that it had happened before or that she was reliably informed.... She'd had a new set done in Spain just last week, which she'd come to me with to fix up because they had...

Geeks, Can anyone tell me if this is possible - and if so - why? A brand new client told me today her gels had gone green from the chlorine in the swimming pool whilst on holiday so she had to have another set done whilst in Spain (which she came to me with to rebalance). I'd love to hear...

I have just got mine about a week ago - my back loves me for it! I too have a home salon. They are perfect and make Gel toes and pedicures much easier! :)

Ahhhh, Mrs. R - sorry to hear that you're feeling so lonely. I work from home and do mobile sometimes and I know what you mean. There's no one to bounce ideas off or have good 'nail' chats with. That's why I, and I assume you too are so glad to have The Nail Geek website!! I too am very...

I once had a client that I used to charge for her rebalances, but never for repairs that weren't covered by the rebalance fee, or nail art or gems. She was one of my first clients and I felt I needed to thank her for her custom - but not charging her full prices didn't make her stay a customer...

I had a client call to make an appointment today - and when I asked her what treatment she wanted - she said a manicure because she couldn't have enhancements as her thumb nails are too big. Every salon she has been to has been unable to offer her an enhancement service because her thumb...

I too am confused by these 'little white marks'. I was taught that they were rogue nail cells, coming out of the matrix that did not rupture and flatten to create a 'normal' nail. And, since, I've had a client with these white marks on each and every finger, at exactly the same growth...

I use Retention + also. Sometimes I find at the end of an enhancement service the monomer in the dappen dish gets a bit gloopy - and it's a bit pointless trying to clean the brush with that monomer - I use a small bit of fresh monomer to clean my brush, wipe the sides on the dappen dish and...

I did Gift Bags for customers at Christmas and included a Glossing Buffer Board (skinny, retail version of the block) and this seemed to go down very well and would be suitable for both natural nail care customers and enhancement customers. Hope that is of some use to you.

Sweet Squared are the people to contact regarding training for CND products in the UK. Hope this helps.

CND do a base coat called Ridge Out - which is excellent for masking some ridges - under enamel it gives a really smooth appearance - but I don't think it would work on really pronounced ridges. I suppose it depends on how ridgy the ridges were?! As to whether you could have done anything...
