Hi Nail Geeks, My sister is law wants tip/ overlay ( gel) on for a wedding in 1 week. I had a little look at her nails last night and she has the worst nails I have ever seen. She bites them and the nail plate is only half way up the nail bed as she has bitten them that much, I explained I'm...

I know a refresh course would be good, it's just the money at the moment. I really wanted to get the ball moving by next month but I feel this will not happen. I am fine with Gel tip/ overlay it has just been the natural overlay that has knocked my confidence. I want to do well when I start off...

No I'm not offended. At the end of the day I want a honest answer. I did know myself that they didn't look good so I have cancelled with customer. It has really knocked my confidence to be honest... I was thinking last night about maybe asking a salon in my area if they would take me on, on a...

Thanks Sandi x I just don't know whether to cancel because the girl is paying and I don't feel confident, but then on the other hand I'm thinking well how am I ever going to learn! x

Ok I need some advice. I have just done another set of natural overlays for practise for Saturday and they turned out even worse. The girl I had to practise on has shorter nails than mine so we didn't get off to good start really then I decided as my free adge wasn't that good on myself I would...

do you think it looks bad if I used tape to get my free edge correct? x

I agree that the free adge is not all the same, that is something I will work on tonight. I just found it difficult as all my nails are different lenghts. I have no other white to use... what would you recommend? I have just spent a lot getting these gel's so I can't afford any others but for...

No don't have that button on my camera. No problem I'm practising again tonight on my niece so hopefully when saturday comes I feel more relaxed. x

Hopefully that's worked. thanks x x

Hi guys, I have not done natural overlay since college for my final exam which was over 1 year ago now and I have a client coming on Saturday wanting a set of natural overlays for her holidays. I am now at panic stations so last night I practised on myself and this is my left hand. Can I pls...

Thanks for the feedback. I have took into account what you both have said and have made my price list, just need to get them printed off and hopefully the money will start flying in. Thanks again x

Hi Guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment and would love some advice... I've just got my business cards and want a price list to match but I really don't know what to charge. I have done some market research in salon's and got there price lists to compare but because I am going mobile...

Hi There, I did the VTCT Level 2 nail technician course with my local college and it only lasted 1 year. It was 2 nights per week from Sep to June and I loved it. I really don't know what is avalible to you where you live but I would highly recommend this course. I know when I was looking for...

Hi everyone, I am on the verge of getting started again, and I was wondering what the best way to advertise myself would be. I am a mobile nail technician in a small village so I am going to pop leaflets into my local shop etc but how will I go about this on a wider scale? Thanks for any...

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone out there has been having problems with ordering products from Professionail. I was trainned in this product and desperately need some more Gel etc. I have been on to there website which looks as if they are having it all upgraded but when I called the...

Thanks for that, I was Blonde for quiet a few years then decided to go back to being a brunette, now I'm dark brown with red highlights so that may be the reason why the colour is fading at the ends of my hair. The blonde may still be in the bottom half of my hair. I've got appointment booked...

Hi Everyone, I'm just being cheeky as this is not a salon question but more a personal question for you hair experts. I have gotten red highlights ( Foiled ) put through my hair for about 4 months now and I love this colour, the only problem is after around 2 weeks my hair starts to really look...

I'm from newcastle and checked all the colleges in my area but they all say the same, that i must complete NVQ level 1 first, never mind. Over all it will take me 3 years to be a qualified hairdresser and could walk straight into a salon job... i'm wishing my bloody life away. well good luck x x
