    Social Networking Marketing

    Hi there, Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find the answer using a search. I have been getting other salons and beauty supply companies 'following' or 'liking' my Twitter and Facebook Page. Is there any benefit to doing this other than pushing up the...

    New website

    I've loaded it using Google Chrome on my iMac so not sure what the problem is for Miss Pink. I agree more pictures would be nice. I did get a little confused at first with the picture underneath the Shellac logo on the treatments page as it showed gel being used from a pot. Then I...

    Please critique my new website

    Yes, I did build it myself. I quite enjoy playing around with things like this but it was the first time I've used Rapidweaver. Must admit I love the responsive nature - it looks great on my iphone :biggrin: I was a bit annoyed that the hours I spend re-naming all my images was lost when...

    Please critique my new website

    My new website has just gone live so I wondered if everyone can take a look and let me know if they find any problems. There are a few tweaks I can see need making already (photos are a little slow loading) but I would be interested for any comments. It has been made to respond to different...

    Client reaction to patch test - very angry

    Sounds to me like she knew she would react. That's why she didn't want her face doing. Chances are she wanted to get a reaction to make a claim but chickened out at the last minute.

    Environ facial

    I've been searching the internet for a local salon who offers Environ facials with no luck. I'm in the Staffordshire area. I can't seem to find the uk distributor either so I can ask them for salon details. Can anyone help point me in the right direction for some info?

    Disguising cuticle work

    Don't even tell her you're removing the dead skin - just use Cuticle Away and tell her you're giving her nails an extra good clean (which technically you are :lol:)

    Removing cuticle

    I use Cuticle Away successfully with Shellac, Gelish, Artistic Colour Gloss and every hard gel and l&p product I've ever used :-)

    New Twitter scam/hacking. Just to warn you!

    How to use Gelbond?

    Maybe this was a typing error, but just to be clear - Gelbond is an adhesive, not a gel. You cannot use it over a layer of uncured gel to fix the crystals and you do not cure Gelbond. If using Gelbond to fix crystals onto a base layer of gel then the gel must be completely cured and the...

    Breakouts around hairline but mega dry nose?

    I'm not a skin geek but I too have oily but dehydrated skin. Remember to rehydrate from the inside too with water. I see roughly 6-8 clients a day so try to drink a glass of water between each one - literally down in one like medicine lol. I never used to like plain water so this was the only...

    Gelish - French

    Taffeta makes a lovely base for French. Delicately translucent pink with a subtle pearlised finish. If you want a bit more colour & coverage then use 2 coats but make sure the white tip is on top.

    Gelish users UV vs LED cure

    A big consideration is actually one of cost. Bulbs in UV lamps need replacing on a regular basis and can be quite costly. Not replacing them will result in gel under curing which causes service breakdown. LED bulbs do not generally need changing (can't quite remember the exact usage info so...

    Rehydrating nails while wearing gel polish

    I think the 'tunnel technology' you refer to is the system which allows such a quick and clean soak off for Shellac. The tunnels are all connected together by acetone dissolvable molecules. So, acetone based remover goes into the tunnels from the surface, encounters the special molecules which...

    Gelish LED Lamps 6g vs 18g

    Looking for advise from someone who has experience of both these lamps. I'm currently using the 6g lamp but have never been totally satisfied as I get occasional clients who can't seem to get their fingers in the right place and end up with odd nails not fully cured. Usually the index finger is...

    Rehydrating nails while wearing gel polish

    Just to clarify - CND Brisa is a hard gel but they still advise daily use of solar oil so I would assume it does penetrate. My difficulty is that some clients are obviously not using their oil so I want to offer an extra service one a month or once a fortnight to improve the condition of their...

    Rehydrating nails while wearing gel polish

    Has anyone found any really good treatments for rehydrating the nails while wearing gel polish? I always try to get clients to use cuticle oil but can often see that they dont :rolleyes: Maybe I can sell an extra treatment once a month to help stop their nails becoming dry and brittle...

    Phone apps.. What do you use?

    Group Text is a good one too. I use it for sending appointment reminders & text marketing.

    Bubbling?

    If the problem has been caused by the intense heat & the client was not warned this might happen & given the choice whether or not to go ahead with the treatment then I feel she would be entitled to compensation. We cannot expect a client to suffer because of our lack of knowledge or...
