Hi Geeks, Sorry to be a bit of a downer, but I can't believe how much SG has changed over recent years. Perhaps I'm viewing things through rose tinted glasses, but I seem to remember place where everyone's opinions were valid, and all geeks seemed to stand together with the view of helping one...

Hi geeks, just popping over from Beauty for a while! I have been asked by one of my regular gel colour ladies to get a turquoise colour when I'm at excel this weekend. I've looked on their website but the swatches there are not very true to life. I was wondering if someone can recommend me the...

Hello geeks! I'm not pregnant (yet!) but I'm hoping to start trying in the next few months. I was wondering what you all thought about carrying out mobile treatments while pregnant? I currently run a small sideline mobile beauty business around my teaching job. I have a small client base of...

As the title suggests really... When you get to the last bit of product in your tubes, and it makes that horrible "raspberry" noise, and you can't get enough product out to do what you need to do....how many of you cut your tubes and use a spatula to get at the rest of it? I only ask as I've...

As the title says really...! Anyone ever tried it?! I've just found out I'm going out tonight and no time for a spray tan...I've run out of tanning moisturiser (takes too long to make a difference anyway) and my brain thought this might be an alternative...!! If I'm making a huge mistake then...

Hello all, Most of you know that I work as a trainer for a beauty equipment manufacturer (no names here!), and run my own mobile business around this. My business name was my initials, but I got married 8 weeks ago (yay!), and felt it was time for a rebrand... Introducing my new website...

Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know geeks but look what I just found http://www.marksandspencer.com/Sienna-Gradual-Glowing-Self-200ml/dp/B00BR9YTSW M&S selling retail products from SiennaX. It just devalues the whole professional service we are trying to promote!! I'm really sad...

Hello Geeks! I have a friend who is getting married on Saturday and she is very nervous! She's a pale girl like myself, so I gave her some of the SiennaX gradual tanning moisturiser to try for the big day (we agreed a spray tan would be too obvious for her). Because she's feeling the stress...

Hi Geeks, As the title says really..! I'm not a lasher, I'm a Skincare therapist, but I offer most other beauty treatments as well. I'm considering adding lashes to my treatment list this summer. I was trained in cluster and strip lashes about 12 years ago as part of my course, but I wonder...

Hi all, I run my own mobile beauty therapy business in my "spare time" (!). I'm getting married in 3 weeks time, and when I come back from honeymoon I will need to make some decisions. I think I've already half decided to really push my mobile business with a view to making the jump to...

Hi all, I'm just sitting here using this horrible wet rainy bank holiday to do my accounts (What fun!), and at the same time I'm logging in my treatment analysis....it's shown me pretty much what I already knew, that my most popular treatments throughout the year are eyebrow waxing, eyebrow...

Hi Geeks, I could really do with some advice today. I'm so upset right now due to a series of events, I'll try to explain as best I can, and keep it as simple as possible... I gave up a day at my full time job in order to work from a beauty room above a hairdressers on Fridays and Saturdays...

Hi Geeks! I've recently set up on my own, renting a beauty room within an established town centre hairdressers Fridays and Saturdays only (While I continue working as trainer for a beauty equipment manufacturer Mon-Thurs!). I've only been in one day so far (Sat last week), and it was quiet...

Hi Geeks, I've just spoken to someone about renting a room 2 or 3 days a week in a well established salon in the town centre. Can I have your opinions please? Room is available all days of the week, but I would initially be wanting it Thus, Fri and Sat (Not prepared to completely give...

I think the title of this thread says it all! I've been a beauty therapist for 10 years and I do specialise in skin care, particularly using electrotherapy equipment, and microdermabrasion....but I want to know if there's a course & exam I can take that will give me a different title...

Hi Geeks, I've posted here rather than in the hair forum as I want to get fellow beauty & holistic geeks opintions, rather than opinions from hair professionals...! Day to day I put my hair back in a ponytail for work (Occasionally with a quiff-type fringe thing...!), and I'm getting SO...

Hi Geeks, I'm in a bit of a desperate situation at the moment, and looking for any advice you're able to give. Apologies in advance for the length of this one. Basically my family is going through some financial problems, and I'm the only one with a steady stable income from a full time job...

Hi Geeks, I'm due to wax a friend's back tomorrow (after months of persuading! :biggrin:), and he's incredibly hairy; very dense hair growth, which I anticipate will be deep rooted. Poor him. Though I've done loads of back waxes in the past i'm not used to such a hairy man!! lol!! I'm just...

Hi Geeks, I'm working at the moment to really push my business, with the hope of going part time at my day job by the end of the year. My other half has suggested to me I get plastic business cards printed with my details on; the idea being that potential clients are less likely to throw them...

Hi geeks, do any of you happen to have the notes for this you could pm me? I'm thalgo trained but don't have this in my notes, not done it for ages and would like to incorporate it into my facials. Any help appreciated! Xxx
