Hi, im just wondering if anyone could help. I went into work today to find that my manager has entered me in a tip & overlay nail competition at professional beauty north in october. Im confident at acrylic and gel nails but i was just wondering what the judges tend to look for and whether...

Hi, im not sure how you could get new clients, i suppose if you continue doing leaflet drops, advertising in local newspapers (although this can be expensive!). carry business cards with you at all times, vistaprint do some nice ones which are good prices aswell. Once you have built up some...

I think you need to decide whether you want to rent a property first to try it out or whether you just want to jump straight in and get a business mortgage on one instead. Personally, i think renting is the better option because if you decide that it isnt working out your not stuck with a...

Hi, if i were you i would have a chat with someone at the benefits office to see how many hours you can work and how it will affect your benefits etc. This way you can weigh up the pro's and con's and decide whether or not you still want to go ahead. I set up my business in 2006, i was only...

Hi, i am in exactly the same situation as you hun! I have been self employed for 2 years, fortunatly in a rented property so there is not that much money lost, the business has hardly ever left me with a wage in all the time i have been going at it and i have decided to give up. I felt...

Have you done any previous training in tanning and or gel nails? I work on a self employed basis aswel and introduced spray tanning last year. I used fake bake and the cost of the training inc the equiptment came to £450 For the £450 i got a hvlp compressor, 4litres of tan, 1 litre of...

Hi my name is caroline, i am qualified to nvq level 3 beauty and have done artificial nail enhancements aswel as a course with nsi. I have two and a half years salon experience and i am seeking work within st helens or warrington. Thanks x

There is only one other salon within the area, but to be honest i dont see her as competition as such. She rents a salon that had previously closed last year. The new owner isnt a beauty therapist and doesnt have any knowledge of the trade, therefore, she has employed a girl fresh out of college...

From what i can remember, when i did my training i was taught that acrylic where the strongest enhancements then fibreglass where not as strong but where stronger than gel and gel are the weakest. Dont know if this helps you or not :)

I have already enquired to see if i am entitled to any help but because i dont have any children they said im not entitled to anything at all. I cant work part time because i would still have to pay rent on the premises and once i get a wage i have to pay my parents council tax because they...

I think i would be happier getting a job and having a regular wage but i dont want to give up the business and regret it later. That is why its so difficult for me to make the decision. I have also looked at my pricing and i am quite low at the moment but a lot of people in the area are...

Is she on any medication? i heard that some medication such as warfin ( dont know if i spelt that correctly) can make clients prone to lifting

I have been working self employed doing all aspects of nails and beauty for just over 18months now, i rent a property to work from but i have noticed as i looked back through my books that the business hasnt really increased in profit that much since opening. Im aware that it can take anything...

I have just changed from the salon system lashes to hive and i prefer these ones. I think they have a more natural look than the ss ones but thats just my opinion. Clients have commented on how nice they are too, the lashes are ever so slightly finer x

this probably wont help you, but it will save you money. DO NOT BUY FROM FAKE BAKE! i bought the full spray tanning machine in october, have used it about 15 times and now it is broken. they only allow 7 days for returns/refunds etc aswel. x

Has anyone purchased a compressor and gun from fake bake this year? i purchased one in july, it arrived late october and now its broken. Im extremely concerned because the guarantee says that it can only be exchanged/refunded within 7 days of purchase. I havent spoken to fake bake yetas they...

I have decided that i am going to look for another job elsewhere, maybe in a few years time i will set up somewhere else but for now i think i will just be an employee, I have stressed to my sister on numerous occasions that im not happy with what she is doing, she is fine for about a week and...

Maybe she is trying to hint in a not so subtle way that she does not want to share the business with you anymore rather than comming out and saying it to your face, she is hoping you will give up and leave?? Resentment can cause such damage to a relationship and it does sound to me as if she...

Its me im back again, im at my wits end with my sister now, she has taken up a new method of claiming the business, she now refers to it as gemini hairdressers, not gemini hair and beauty! aarrgghh! no matter how much i ask her to stop doing these silly, petty little things, she just keeps on...
