I use an epilator after waxing to get out the stubborn hairs. Its the same as tweezing just super quick and gets the ones you can't even see.

Thank you for your reply 🙏 my training definitely didn't go over the chemical processes of henna so ill get myself up to speed with that

In NZ we nano-mist the lashes after application to cure the glue instantly and they're able to get wet straight after that. No worrying about mask breath upsetting them

I would agree that its the adhesive. Test the bond of a few lashes shortly after applying the first ones. If the glue is bad they will probably come off pretty easy with a touch of the tweezers. I also learnt the hard way, did a full set with brand new glue then they literally all fell off even...

I am an amazing nail tech, I totally love it and it has kept me in a full time job for the last 20 years - Until nail art become popular...! I do not have an artistic bone in my body and now that everybody is expecting us nail techs to do "something fancy" it is just a disaster! My lines and...

Our favourite OPI Colour Its all Greek to me was deleted a while ago and we need to find another similar OPI colour. Any suggestion? I've googled "ladies and magenta'man" which is nice but not that in-your-face hot fuschia pink that we need. Any suggestions?

I used to have a timetable outside my door with spaces for appointments I had available. Anyone could come to the door, look through my brochures and just book themselves in with their name, phone number and length of treatment required (according to brochure). Not everyone wants the next person...

Im thinking about adding an independent hairdresser to my beauty salon. she's going to do all the necessary renovations, buy all her own product and do her own tax etc. i have no idea how much rent to charge her weekly. Would a commission scheme be a good option? And how much commission...

Yep mines pretty much black, shrinks immediately on application too which is a pain!

Hi are your acrylics smooth and shiny before you apply the gel polish? If so it won't last, rough them up first

Same here, they can tell where they need it most and can take as long as they need.

I started off with OPI gel Polish (LED Cured) and had no end of problems with it - shrinkage of colour before curing, top coat not the shiniest, chipping within a day, not curing properly in some layers. So I tried the IBD colours with our OPI base and top coats. Loved the price, loved the...

I've been using SunFX spray tan for years. I spray one light coat all over the body. Occasionally peoples lower legs go a bit orange, what am I doing wrong? I've recently heard the amount of DHA in a solution can give an orange tone. even my best friend who is naturally very olive skinned goes...

just need some pointers to perfect my technique please. What temperature should the water be? how do I stop polish setting too much before I start putting the pattern in it? can I use gel top coat over the normal polish design? can I use gel polish to do the marbling design? thanks

I've been having real trouble with some orange based gel polishes from OPI and Cuccio. It sometimes wrinkles up while curing then scrapes clean off. Is this common across alot of brands? Even curing it for a whole minute makes no difference. It only happens with the orange colours. I've been...

Im stumped - i need to know how to get 2 or 3 colours fading/washing into other, how to do different precise colour stripes. Also if i want to mix two colors to get a new shade, how do i do that without ruining a polish brush? do i mix it on the brush or in a seperate dish and use a spare brush...
