Hi geeks, I want to get a brazilian wax before my holidays in a couple of weeks, but i'm a bit wary of finding the right salon! Is there any questions i should ask as to the type of wax they use etc? I also don't want to phone up for an appointment and sound like some know it all questioning...

Hi all, I have a lady booked in for a pedicure and manicure on Thursday. Her daughter wants to cheer her up her as she has recently had a hip operation. When i spoke with her i asked her to check with the nurse/doctor that a pedicure would be suitable. The ladies physio said definatley no to...

Hi geeks, Just a quick question regarding using nail fresh to correct polish mistakes. Is it better to do it when the polish is still wet or wait till it is dry? I know its better not to make mistakes in the first place but not getting much time to practise at the moment. Going to borrow some...

Hi everyone, i haven't really had much practise of spray tanning recently, i did my training only a couple of months ago and did a couple then that went quite well but none since and have forgotten some technique. I had all my stuff out yesterday and thought id try and spray tan myself...

Hi, i have a client who has text me to say she has broken both her thumbs. I did this set a week ago. She has pink and white l&p. Now she had her nails a little longer this time and also asked for them to be a little thinner. I advised against going both longer and thinner but she wanted to give...

I picked up my business cards from post office today that i ordered from vistaprint and i'm gutted. They look so cheap and i'd be embrassed to hand them out. I went for a glossy black card with pink foil writing, just a very plain and simple design. The black is flaking off, they seem to have...

I've recently had my spray tanning training and would really like to wear the tan as often as i can as its important to show potential clients how it will look. Does anyone ever try tanning themselves or is this a logistical nightmare? Do you train up your partners to do it for you? If so any...

Hi geeks, if anyone read my blog they would see i have had my fab spray tan training today, woo! My question is regarding practising and how much to charge, and i've had, shall we say, a difference of opinions with my partner about it tonight. He think i should do it for free :eek:. I think i...

This is a question for skin geek experts out there! I suffer with an oily spot prone skin, sometimes its under control and i just get 1 or 2 but lately i've had a few very large painful spots on my forehead. They are red hot, they throb so hard they have a pulse and people think i have bumped my...

Hi geeks, does anyone have any advice on how to prevent fake tan showing up in the hair follicles? Its only happening on my forearms. I'm using the st tropez gradual tan. Its not too dark for me as i already have quite a bit of tan left from my holidays. Its just making it look really speckled...

Has anyone tried this yet? Just wondering how you would describe it. I dont know what mistletoe smells like really and obviously i know what clementines smell like but dont like an overpowering orangey smell. It does sound lovely though, its described as having a pearlescent glow. I'll be doing...

Hello, i ordered a few things from S2 and thought i'd get a couple of colours for french manicures just to try out. I ordered the washed out white, which says its a creme on the website, and the creamy cameo, thought this might be a lovely combination. Anyway the white is really sheer and even...

I've just received my spray tan kit this week after purchasing it at gmex. My training with sienna x isnt till mid november so should i just leave it all well alone until then or should i practise using the gun a little bit so i know how it feels? I dont want to waste any solution or anything...

Hi, does anyone know how many treatments you would get out of either the CND citrus or almond starter packs? I will ring s2 on monday to find out but just thought i'd ask on here too. Also which one is more of a general all rounder suitable for the majority of clients? suppose the easy solution...

Hello, i was just wondering how do all the mobile techs go about doing hand soaks and washing off masks etc when mobile. Does it seem unprofessional to keep going to their kitchen sink to fill/empty your manicure bowl? Just interested to know what everyone does and if there is a better way...

Hi, just wanted to ask some opinions from the experts, seeing as im not one yet! I'm having a problem with breakouts around my chin area. I've always suffered with oily acne skin but dianette and retin-a from doctors helped me no end. I'm on a different pill now (have been for 2 years) but still...

Hello all, i have a little question about air bubbles! This isn't a problem i have had before so not sure what has changed. I have what look like a few tiny dark specks on the zone 1 done in white, almost like tiny dots of dirt. They are literally pin prick size so very small. I wondered if they...

Hi geeks, I'm looking into purchasing both spray tan training and equipment soon but was wondering if i should wait until i have been to the beauty show in manchester in october. I know that they often have VAT free offers, or show offers, or are these just cleverly reworded offers that already...

I've just been practising the reverse application method, i geneally speaking only use this on myself when doing my own nails. I do suffer more lifting however when using this technique and i think its because i struggle to press the product sufficiently, especially at the side walls. So has...
