Hello everyone. I'm looking for a treatment room / nail desk to rent within a hair salon if anyone has or knows of any opportunities within the halifax/ surrounding area. I am Fully qualified to NVQ 3 and insured with lots of experience. Many thanks in advance.

In my 'other' job Yell have just designed ours...cost £3500.It is fairly all singing and dancing and very modern and fresh and of course mobile friendly. It was done September this year. I doubt a beauty/hair business would need anything as sophisticated as in need as many pages so you wouldn't...

well tbh it could be any of those 3 things!! lol! How are you storing your colours or are they just at the end of their life? Really pay attention to your finger placement under the lamp and cap all coats on the free edge well. I've been using two coats of the xpress 5 instead of one - takes...

Which shellac top coat and lamp are you using? Only asking because I have never had any problems with shellac (been using it for 3 years) until I started using the LED lamp and the Express 5 top coat. Now I get peeling and chipping on the free edge within a couple of days. Very disappointing...

update: SweetSquared will not replace as I purchased the lamp as part of the show deal where it was advertised as being the 'free' part of the package (a round of applause to the clever marketing team there at s2!!). I had genuinely forgotten that was what the deal was so I can't really grumble...

If finger placement is so important how does it work for feet then!!?? You can't put all your toes on the pads! I asked S2 what if someone has long stiletto nails and they said then move them backwards so they are not on the pads! The whole idea is that the lamp is supposed to be quicker but...

Thanks for your replies. I have contacted sweet squared. They have advised to look at finger placement after I have described the problem and the nails affected which I have acknowledge could be the problem now they have given me some tips. However what if you have a client with longer nails...

I have recently purchased the CND LED lamp and I'm starting to think that there is something not right with it. Normallywhen I apply shellac to myself and never have any problems with it lasting 2 weeks with my UV lamp. However each time (x3 in total) I have used the LED lamp it has literally...

It is 6ft 6" x 13ft 1". This size was chosen more to accommodate the size of my garden as its a fairly odd shape. It comfortably fits a couch and nail bar and one client at a time!! If you can fit a larger one in your space then do - mainly just for flexibility of where you put your equipment...

I always used CND Shellac. Never had any problems whatso ever. I have recently just needed to place another large order to include the new LED lamp and was looking at the cost of my basket and thinking wow this is expensive. I too had been tempted by the Ink London range, at that cost who...

A few people have asked me to post some pictures so here they are !! The inside is not complete yet and the garden still has to be landscaped but I'll try and add some when they are finished I cannot wait to start working in it! Exciting times!!

What's the difference between storing tan in the plastic bottle it arrives in or the plastic tanning cup you pour it into? As long as the lid is on tight..it's the same...isn't it!!??? I have always used left over tan and never had any issues with the results. I also label my cups and just add...

I looked at some and they were working out around £7k-£10k the full monte but for just one treatment room, around the 12ft x 8ft size. You would literally be able to move your kit into them, just need the electrics hooking up. The company would install it for you.The walls were fairly thin...

I love it to use as an accent on one finger - quicker and easier than getting the loose glitters out!!

In a salon I worked in a clients young child got its long hair twisted up in the wax pot because she was 'just looking'......the young girl soon had a lovely new bob as a result of her curiosity. Prior to having a baby I had no tolerance for kids in the salon, or kids in general TBH!!Lol! Now I...

Sorry its not a great picture - I will post some more when it's finished!!

Hi - yes I do have a picture, I'll see if I can upload it, its still work in progress although has windows and is painted now since this picture was taken last week. It has taken my husband around 15 hours in total to get it to the stage in the picture. It was very easy for him and he has built...
