    Self employed nail techs: What hourly rate do you charge?

    Good evening all! Hoping for a little advice from some of our more experienced nail techs :) For years I have been a self employed nail tech renting a space within a hair salon. I have recently been given the opportunity to offer my services in a hospital. This is an NHS hospital so the...

    Do you respond to clients on your day off?

    Do you respond to your clients on your day off? I have been for years and it's recently occurred to me... Does anyone else actually do this!? :lol: I always took the view that any business was good business so I responded to calls & texts on my days off or even holidays. Then I found myself...

    Bio Sculpture's New Look

    Good afternoon geeks, I cannot believe there isn't a thread on this already!!! But I am gutted about Bio Sculpture's new look, I think the black & gold pots were soooooo much smarter looking than the new silvery ones. I am dreading the change-over and hoping it's never going to happen! But...

    Treatment swaps (and how to do them fairly)?

    I rent within a hair salon and am constantly faced with the recurring problem of treatment swaps with the hairstylists & how to do them fairly. I will usually do Shellac for the girls in return for them doing my hair but they feel they are entitled to more than one treatment per hair...

    Someone in my area falsely promoting Shellac

    As the title says really... What would yo do? There aren't enough rules and regulations in this industry to do anything serious about it... But it is really annoying me! Said person files & buffs the natural nail prior to application & removal- giving Shellac a bad name, promotes gelish &...

    Biosculpture or Gelish

    Good afternoon geeks!! :green: I currently offer shellac and brisa but would like to add a soak off gel to my treatment list. I used to use biosculpture before I set up my own business and I really got on well with the product - only problem is it's got a really bad reputation in my area :S I...

    Pedicure Spa

    Good Evening fellow geeks! Does anyone know a of a shop that supplies Pedicure Spas (ones with the chair and built in spa bath) where you can go in and try them out? As in, sit at them and see how they feel - I've got a bad back and can't do them the foot in lap way! OUCHIE! My back can't take...

    CND Certificates

    Well... the wait was worth it! Today I received all 3 of my CND Certificates... They all look very different, but beautiful nonetheless! I would take pictures for you all to see if I had the time but not today! Maybe eventually :wink2: But for now I'm sure a description will suffice. The L&P...

    Crystal Clear

    Hi everyone, I'm STILL on the (never-ending) hunt for a skin care range and just wanted to update you all. This morning when I woke up Cystal Clear literally just 'popped' into my head - I'd never thought of using them before as I know they specialize in the machines; microdermabrasion, oxygen...

    Its that time... time for a card reader!

    Good evening everyone, :biggrin: I am exploring the long and winding avenue of getting a card reader. After reading many opinions on the matter I am swaying towards card save. Does anyone know if this is a mobile unit that can be used anywhere? I rent a space in town but also do bits from home...

    Fake Shellac annoying me!

    There are SO many people in my area offering fake Shellac and it is annoying the hell outta me!!! As a professional, I will never slate other companies to my clients (which I witness a lot and it just makes me cringe!) but I am finding that more and more NSS are starting to offer fake shellac -...

    The word association game!

    I'm sure we all know how this works... Read the word, write a word you associate with it! Let's try and make it a bit more challenging and say it has to be related to our industry! Here goes... Barbicide

    Konad with Brisa

    I tried konad for the first time tonight on myself. After applying the brisa base and colour I gave myself two little bows on my middle fingers, applied brisa gloss then when I went to remove the inhibition layer it took off some of the design through the finishing gloss?! Crazy. I know a lot of...

    Where to buy Biosculpture

    Where do you get yours? I used Biosculpture a while back (before I set up my own business) when I worked at Nails Inc but I'm not sure who supplies it. Thinking of using it for my business as its got quite high demand around here. x

    Really disappointed with S2

    Now usually I get on great with the S2 customer care team and they really go out of their way to meet your needs - esp Jonathon who is just wonderful. But on this occasion I am at the end of my tether as I made a return months ago (which was faulty) and have still not received my money back...

    Shellac & Colour pops

    Just got some colour pops in to display Shellac colours, layering & Nail art. Do you use the base-coat when applying Shellac to a colour pop? Or is this a waste of product. x

    Hi hairgeeks

    Just wondering, when you go to get highlights and lowlites (like, every time) do you put blonde over the existing brown so that it goes a funny orange colour or do you put the highlights and lowites in the same place everytime? I have been having problems with orangey bits recently where my hair...
