    Devastated and so sad to hear of Amber's passing. I loved her as Minkus the nail geek and even more when I met Amber. Beautiful lady. RIP Amber <3

    Elite microblading

    PhiBrows all the way. I researched qute a bit, even had mine done by the nearest educator to me BUT very disappointed on various counts. I am glad I found PhiBrows - 2 day clas and then 11 online modules. Excellent education and very professional.

    Gelish brushes spreading out in bottle

    I never used to get cured product at the bottom of my Gelish bottles and I don't have the same problem with other gel polish brands I use so ... confused. I also keep all my gel polishes out of sunlight etc. I have used Gelish since it launched and have only recently experienced this problem...

    Gelish brushes spreading out in bottle

    I have found a few of my Gelish brushes going all wonky. Never had the problem before. Wanted to buy more colours but put off doing so. Don't keep my gel exposed at all. Use it the same way I always have. One colour I replaced the brush with an old top coat brush yesterday. Worked fine but...

    Ingrown hair product, what works?

    Just received a couple of samples of Aloeclear. I may also have a look into Perron Rigot's aftercare as I already use their wax and their customer service always great.

    Hi! What are these white marks after Shellac removal?

    Looks like product residue. People often refer to it as being damage to the natural nail when oftenit is not damage but just that some product is still on the nail and not removed effectively - common if the client has particularly ridged nails x

    Insurance- where to start?

    David - I have been trying to get my salon insurance renewed for the past two weeks now. It really has been a comedy of errors. I even re-sent a copy of all my therapist certificates a week ago after our email exchange. Sadly, I am still waiting for it to be followed up. Obviously too much work...

    Facials & added nice bits?

    Heated mitts / towels / muslin cloths for removal of products during facials. I also like to end my facials or massages with tingsha bells. Gently advises the client that the treatment has ended. At the end of my massages, I also like to lay a heated towl over my clients back. It is a divine...

    Gelish 18g lamp problems

    Try pulling out the wire when the lamp is on. When the sensor it working and if you pull out the wire, it de-activates the sensor meaning you need to manually press the timer for it to work. Also if the sensor is de-activated and you pull out the lead, it re-activates the sensor. I hope that...

    Skinbase.. so pleased with it!

    Oh thanks so much for the info! I felt as if the therapist was helping the handpiece and pressing hard. My skin afterwards felt quite sunburnt for about 2 days - nothing too major but I wouldn't like to have considered having the treatment again within a month. What you have said makes so...

    Skinbase.. so pleased with it!

    I had a Skinbase treatment a week ago. To be honest, I found it a bit too abrasive. I am a bit of a whimp but my skin is delicate and I just found it a bit too much. I was really disappointed cause I really wanted to take Skinbase on. The therapist hasn't been doing it for that long. Do you...

    What is the best anti-aging treatment?

    I have looked at micro-dermabrasion (Skinbase) and found it a bit harsh (perhaps it was the therapist, although my skin is very sensitive). What would you say was your best anti-ageing treatment? Recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!:hug:

    Dermalogica!

    If I use a brand that is available over the counter, I don't mind so long as it wasn't solely promoted to me as a 'professional only' or 'exclusive' product. I use OPI nail polishes which are sold in many large department stores and that hasn't hindered my retail sails or the publics respect...
