    Beauty room to rent Edinburgh WITH established client base

    Hi geeks I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and taking a break from work for a while when I have the baby. I have a joint lease with a hairdresser and we have run a successful hair and beauty salon for the last 4 years. We are urgently looking for a beauty therapist to take over from the end...

    Rent a chair & debit card machine?!

    Also, when a client pays by card machine there are two copies of the reciept printed, yours and thiers. As long as you keep your reciepts you can easily prove what has been paid in each week and then deduct from your rental or request the money back if it's more than your rental cost.

    Can they sell it yet? - New Shellac!

    Hmm - I would think not legally, perhaps one of the following - 1. Fakes? 2. Have they already launched in the states? - perhaps someone with trans atlantic connections? 3. A thief working in manufacturing? Either way i'd steer clear until s2 or fingertips have officially launched them xx

    Salon owners: Is this fair? Opinions please as I'm guessing here ha!

    I think it's more than fair. I work part time for a housing association (3 hours per day, alongside running my salon), which is also a charity. It is an extremely 'corporate' work place, crosses all the T's and dots the I's, consults employment solicitors for EVERYTHING, every change in...

    Tip and dip...French look.. how to?

    I use Backscratchers extreme system and I love it :green: You can do forever french or glitter tips with this system by buying their fast forms. Apply a natural tip and then place the sticky form on the nail where the smile line starts (they're curved, kind of the same idea as the cheats...

    Problem with girl

    Does she have a contract in place preventing her from working outwith your salon within a certain radius or on your existing client base? How did you find out that she is carrying out the treatment. If she doesn't have a contract then legally there is not much that you can do. Maybe just a...

    Tanning myself?????

    I have, in times of desperation when not able to spray tan, mixed up my spray tan solution with a little non oil moisturiser and applied it as I would a lotion, works a treat. Never been brave enough to rub on pure spray tan solution though - it's sooo concentrated :eek:

    Spray Tanning Chest Area??!!

    Hey hun, with my big boobied ladies I take the direct approach. After tanning the back, when they turn to the front I ask them to hoik their boobs up, then tan from under the bust to the pant line (or pelvic area for my lovely confident naked gals). I then go back to the arm, over the chest...

    Clients and the wrong information

    I tell all clients who ask 'do you use gel or arcylic', that I use 'liquid and powder acrylic', and that gel is also acrylic, it just has a different application method. I chose to train in liquid and powder as I felt that this was the more difficult of the two to master so I figured if I...

    What nails are you wearing at the moment?

    I'm wearing square french with CND shimmer gold overlay (although I mixed 2 parts cnd clear with 1 part gold shimmer as the gold was too dense for the look I was after) done with popits. Also wearing hollywood toes with little gold jewels along the white on the big toes. I've been wearing a...

    Eyelash perming

    Just a thought, I think you could do this with a standard eyelash perming rod. Say you use the smallest sized rod, glued the eyelashes to the rod at the root only (i.e not curl them over the whole rod) so that the whole eyelash is almost at a 90 degree angle and applied the permanent lotion to...

    Spray tan turned Green!!!!! eek!

    I'm really confused?? :irked: Are you spraying 3 times in one session or 3 separate sessions? I can't see how it would be profitable to spray 3 times for the same price as one? I offer 3 different strengths to clients. If someone wants a darker colour they can have a double dip where...

    Eyelash Perming

    Not your fault hun, your tutor was maybe having a bad day. I did my lash perming training recently and I was taught to ask the client to open her eyes after I'd stuck the lashes on the rod every minute or so and then un-stick any bottom lashes by using a tooth pick or similar instrument. I've...

    Fringes as a therapist! Should hair be fully off the face?

    Mr fringe is my camoflage. I was mugged a few years ago and the callous *&&*&!! put a bottle in my forehead whilst I was unconscious so I have a scar which runs from my eyebrow to my hairline. Maybe I'm being touchy because of this but if I was told to pin it back I'd walk. My hair is clean...
