    It's time to become a hairdresser!

    Hay, I did a full time course over here which is good because you don’t need to go through the 1st year of being an expert cleaner (that gets reduced to about 6 months) As far as I know over here you wouldn't really get much work if you just learnt colouring. If you learn all of it you can...

    It's time to become a hairdresser!

    Hay, My only advice really is to research different training providers and decide which way you want to do it. How much money you want to spend is a big thing you really need to look at. I did the same thing however i studied my nail course in the uk and then decided to move to Australia and...

    Styling hair quickly...?

    Yep, use a getle mousse though so you dont end up with crispy hair, also doing lots of different plaits in your hair when it has just dried works brilliantly. try not to use your wet to straight irons too much hun as when i was taught, i was told that these can actually cause the moisture in...

    Be Careful

    I really did not mean to offend or irritate anyone! It is just my preference and i would rather stick to the acid free primer i have been using. xx

    Be Careful

    Having not used an acid primer and seeing the burns that it has caused (acidents do happen to the best of us) i would not like to use a product that could do that to me or my clients. Just my personal preference. When my friend gave up nails (2 weeks ago) she gave me a box of her products as...

    Styling hair quickly...?

    A really good way of getting messy curls is to put mousse into it whilst it is damp (after your moisturiser) and to screw it up in about 5 sections( these sections do not have to be neat, just bits you have scrunched up), pin these into place and leave until dry (preferably whilst you are...

    P+W's with custom blend

    How much is it roughly? I really would like to start doing more nails from home as I can then experiment a bit; we have really tight schedules at work and only have 50 minutes for a full set etc. so I’m a bit scared of doing anything new at work in case it makes me run late for my next...

    California Flare And Stiletto (pics)

    Can i just say that your creativity and obvious love for artwork is an inspiration however i do agree that they would look fantastic with the custom blended nail beds. What products do you use? Do you engrave your lines and fill them in or do them free hand. I love the artwork on all of...

    P+W's with custom blend

    Hay, Thanks for all the advice guys its invaluable!!! Do you think it would be worth my while buying the creative custom blend kit as my boss doesn't want to spend his money on it and i only do a couple of clients at home. I just think it may be a waste as there are 22 different colours in it...
