    Angled spatulas for waxing

    It's the Gigi ones you are looking for. I split my larger spatulas and use them as I do find the Gigi ones a little too big. :D

    Beauty couches - 2 or 3 sections?

    if you are buying a couch for the first time you need to look into the future and decide which treatments you are likely to do then as well as those you already offer. An electric or hydraulic couch will often come with 3 sections. As you can raise the height of these couches you can make...

    Acrylic liquid and powder help?

    I would agree to try the Young Nail's products but make sure you buy their Protein Bond as this really does prevent lifting as long as your prep is adequate. The mix is very forgiving and easy to work with and as said above they come in different setting levels so you can have the slower...

    Non surgical face lifts

    There are lots of good machines and treatments out there with great results. I would just add one thing though from my own experience from working alone. I had difficulty booking in the frequency of appointments at the beginning of a package. New clients would approach me and it became...

    Any tips on getting more clients

    I agree with the above and you need to be posting all the time on your Facebook page and it is worth boosting some posts too, you can choose the area, age group etc and I have found this works for me. You need a good post to boost though so the before and after photos would be a great one to do...

    That combination of wax and oil is fine and as the scar is 14 months old that will be fine too :wink2:

    Waxing taboo's

    I have lots of more voluptuous ladies who love having their Hollywoods. I don't think weight comes into it really regarding confidence or sexiness, I find a lot of my slimmer clients are more self conscious than my larger girls. If clients are made to feel comfortable and have an enjoyable...

    Hollywood, Brazilian waxing and STDs?

    You shouldn't really even have to think whether or not the client has told you the truth or not my darling as your salon hygiene should cover you for everything. The client may have an STD that they don't even know about so it is up to us, as professionals, to make sure everyone is protected...

    Hard work waxing today!

    Are you using a little oil on the inside of thighs? You can use this with strip was too and I always do this on inside thighs as they are tricky. You have only been waxing a short time and will have a lot of different types of hair, skin and clients to experience yet! You shouldn't be too...

    Hard/hot wax, which brand is best?

    I agree that there are several really good waxes but each one has subtle differences so you are best to try several of them before you settle for one. I also agree with the waxes named above but would add Adam and Eve waxes to that list as well and they will send you samples of their hot...

    Mascara under eyes!

    I would change the mascara you use to a smudge free or even waterproof one, it sounds to me that this would solve your problem :wink2:

    Training, what will I do next?

    If you can find a good one to one trainer over there you could just go through the bits that scare you. Good training is really the key to it all and it will help make you feel comfortable and happy to wax anything that presents itself! :wink2:

    Training, what will I do next?

    I would add waxing to your skills my darling, very profitable and reasonably easy to pick up. Clients are regular and become very loyal :wink2:

    Waxing burn?

    She certainly shouldn't be in pain after the treatment, the only pain should be as the wax is being removed. I agree with Jack, either Sudocreme or Aloe Vera, I would probably prefer Sodocreme as it is more moisturising too so will provent the skin catching on itself and on the groin...

    Got told off today

    These rules vary greatly from region to region, council to council so best to check with your local council to see what you need to do and get it in writing.:D

    Waxing-first client tomorrow

    Please do not think that chins are really easy, they can be difficult depending on the type of hair etc. Have a really good look at the hair growth first, make sure the wax is pressed through the hair firmly and do not wax over any curves. Make sure you wax up to the corner, so to speak, and...

    Waxing help

    I agree with the other girls that you do need a lot of experience and proper training to tackle this. You also would need to check with your insurance provider as to what they are covering you for. Some are more flexible than others but this is, unfortunately, a bit of a grey area with a lot...
