Hi Hair Geeks, I had a client in with me today and she had just had a 12 week blow dry and her hair looked fab. She hasn't washed her hair yet and I plan to ask her the next time she's in how she's getting on with it, but I was just wondering if all 12 week blow drys were the same? My...

I've noticed a lot of Geeks on this site work from Home or are Mobile and I was curious to see how many are mobile, home and salon based. So I thought I'd create a poll and find out. I started out by renting a space in a Salon, then owned a Salon, rented a space in a Hair Salon and now I work...

I love fresh flowers in the salon and try to get them as often as possible, I think it's a nice touch and they cheer me up and make the place look so much nicer. So many clients remark on how nice my "fake flowers" are and how real they look :lol: This got me thinking... why am I spending so...

Yes Geeks, it's that time of year again! Winter nights just wouldn't be the same without Ant and Dec making us all laugh as they take the complete mickey out of the Celebs in the jungle. I can't wait to see Mark from TOWIE on it and I bet Freddy Star will be really annoying, trying to be...

First off, for anyone that doesn't know me, my name is Karen and I'm a Technophobe!! Yes I really am dumb when it comes to computers, phones and any kind of gadgets. So what did I do?... only bought an iphone and since I got it I've had nothing but trouble... turns out it's faulty, so I...

Hi Geeks, I'm an old fashioned gal at heart and I miss having photo albums to look through :sad: Since getting my digital camera, iphone and lap top I seem to take hundreds of pictures and then put them onto my lap top, where they stay and I only print out the odd photo to put in a frame...

Hi Geeks I just did some fab Shellac toes for a client yesterday, I was inspired by the Moo Minx design, so basically did 2 layers of Cream Puff and then did the Moo design with BlackPool... my client was thrilled... very cool and funky! :) Sometimes clients hit their nails on the bulbs...

Well it's kinda obvious from my Geeky name and Avatar pic what my answer to this question is :lol: I'm a very open minding person, but can still be very sceptical about things I hear... I do like to think, however, that after someone we love dies, they are still around and can watch over us...

Happy Birthday to a very lovely lady... hurry up and get your computer fixed Karen! :lol:... hope you're having a great day xxx

A friend of mine is a photographer and came across this website. The photographer finds people in old photos and takes the same photo many years later, I thought it was absolutely fascinating. OK so I'm cheating a bit here, but I just wanted you all to see it, maybe this should be a blog...

Hi Geeks, I'm new to Minx and am very excited about getting some new designs and as they all look so good, I really want to show them off. I was wondering how you all display yours? Can you apply them to a colour pop? I have cute little tiny sliver pegs and could maybe hang the...

My clients are mostly professionals, like nurses, teachers and solicitors etc They are aged from between 35 and 60 (most are older than 35) I have very few regular clients that are any younger than 35. My clients are brilliant and so loyal and I love them to bits. I'm just curious...

I had a discussion with my friend and her Mother this morning about hd Brows (as you do) and they had never heard of them, but as soon as I explained about them, they were all excited and wanted them done. So we rang a Salon in Naas and they had never heard of them and then we rang about 3...

It's a little late in the day, but Happy Birthday Theresa... hope you had a lovely day!! :hug:

I seem to be going around in circles trying to find a place to pick. I want to bring my Husband away for his 40th Birthday... I want to go on a Sun holiday and we will be brining our 4 year old son. (I've told my Husband about it and he doesn't mind where we go) The trouble is, the days of...

I know this probably should be a blog, because I'm not asking a question, but I thought more of you geeks would see it if I posted on the main forum and it's a good tip so I just wanted to share. My 4 year old was stung by a wasp a few days ago and was in agony (they seem to be everywhere at...

I mainly use a soak off gel and find when I soak off the nails and buff them, it creates a lot of dust, which is giving me a cough. I have great ventilation in my room and used to wear a mask, but stopped as I find I get very hot a bothered, especially in the summer. I really want to invest in...

I had never heard of Salon Geek when I started out in the nail industry, so I had to make a lot of mistakes along the way and learn from them myself with absolutely no help. I trained in a private college and went on to do several nail courses (spending a lot of money) and tried a lot of...

I have a Brisa lamp and find it a little small when doing toes, so just got my Shellac lamp this morning, but looking at my Brisa lamp, I've noticed some of the bulbs have spots of Shellac (Tutti fruiti to be exact) on them from where the clients have hit their toes off them. Does anyone know...

It's weird, if you asked me for the worst day of my life I could go on and on.... But someone recently asked me what the best day was and I really had to think hard... is that really bad??... Is it just me??? Was it the birth of my son?... eerrm not really, I had an emergency section and it...
