Hi Just one thing I would mention, even though they were done on your Mum did you clean her feet before you started? Even my clients who arent having a soak, I wash them thoroughly with anti bacterial wipes. I would definitely make them shorter and I would also buff the nail bed to try and...

Hi Why are you so worried about your timing? Concentrate on getting everything else right first, forget the timing. You will find it coming down automatically as you become adept at each stage anyway. Its no good skimping on quality to be fast. It will come, believe me. Karen

Actually if you listen carefully you can hear his voice talking to his client. I had the pleasure of meeting Joseph last year at the Sydney expo and he is is one hell of a character with a wonderful sense of humor. He was also quite a yaffler so I find it hard to believe he would not speak to...

hi there would be barely one of us who hasn't felt like giving up at one time or another. My suggestion is to decide if its what you really want. Have a good think about it and then decide. If your teacher thinks you are a perfectionist, perhaps you are expecting too much of yourself at this...

I'm with Geeg here. I wouldn't be telling them even how to file their nails. I ask my clients to return if they need or want filing. The most I ask of my clients is to use their solar oil daily, wear gloves when needed, what to avoid to prevent damage and to return for regular maintenance. I...

I like them . I always have probs with soft white being patchy so I will be very aware of my ratio as Peter Pan says and hopefully that will help

My New Salon

My New Salon

I didn't charge much when practicing, only to cover costs. I had a fairly big client base then. When I told my clients I was starting in a salon and the prices would be going up, I lost all but two. This was a big blow because I had hoped they were coming because they loved the nails I did and...

As Kittensgotclaws said I would leave buying a gel lamp till you do training. In the meantime I have a product called NSI air shield. I find its a similar consistency to the uv gel top coats and it dries to a high shine. Perhaps you could try something like this till you do gel training Cheers...
