    Adam & Eve Original Sin

    Here in Aus I have to go through an account setup to use PR which i've heard is painful and need to order bulk to make it cost effective. A&E is easy to order direct from suppliers. Not happy with the A&E Angelic (too soft) so think I'll have to get set up to buy PR. I'm a really small scale...

    Adam & Eve Original Sin

    Thanks. I'm trying A&E as my last alternative to PR. If I don't like it i'll start my account set up with PR. I tried their Intimate 4 and the yellow eyebrow one, both I wasn't fussed on but quite liked the Crystalline hypoallergenic one. I only wish it was darker in colour so I could see it...

    Adam & Eve Original Sin

    For those of you using Adam & Eve's Original Sin hot wax, what is it like for Caucasian women's brazilians? I really like their Spank strip wax and tried Angelic but found it a little soft. Does Original Sin have a stronger pull? How quickly does it set up? Still gentle enough on the skin? Thanks

    Which Perron Rigot wax?

    What's the best PR hot wax besides Euroblond as an all purpose (suitable for brows and braz)? Looking at the options here in Australia, Euroblond doesn't appear to be an option. I'm receiving Crystaline, Intimate4 and Visage to trial but Euroblond seems to be the preferred choice reading all...

    Difficult eyebrow wax client

    You'll always find the odd client like this, you have to learn to let it go, you know what you did and that you did a great job. I had a friend in this morning and she's painful with her eyebrows too. One eyebrow starts further out than the other and asked if I had waxed it that way...I hadn't...

    Depileve cartridge waxes - recommendations?

    Greetings from Aus :) I've been using the Depileve pine rosin cartridges but with the cooler weather upon us and skins drying out i'm finding the pine rosin starting to grab to the dry skin and not removing easily. Any recommendations for another Depileve wax to switch to? The choices I have...

    Recommended spray tan solutions

    Here in Australia I use Minx, it is a 2-6hr tan which looks great and fades awesome though not sure you can get it in the UK. Black Magic, which I believe is available there now is also great, their VIBE range is their most popular, for dark I like their VIBE 2hr dark, for natural I like their...

    Hot wax technique help thread

    I'm from Australia and no that is not the norm! I've heard about it though from Queensland (our sunny beach state) but can promise you that is not the way. We do do a lot so our times are probably about 15-20mins normally..

    Hot wax technique help thread

    A client can't tell you how long to take, 40mins when it's been a while our they're difficult is ok. I do aim to keep under 30mins for most though. And yes, friction burn from riding home!

    Mary Kay

    They are not a professional product and not the products a professional skin therapist would recommend. Mary Kay and similar MLM skincare companies, Avon and the like, are no better than buying from the supermarket, pure cosmetic. If you want real change in your skin, seek out a skincare...

    Bride requesting occasional makeup service instead of bridal

    I agree. Some brides are just after a simple wedding and look. Admittedly this was me for my wedding. Some people are happy just to have someone else to do their makeup for them, or they might not be into makeup generally anyhow. Don't over think it. You're a professional, you'll be able to do...

    Spray tan removal - advice?

    I use Black Magic (which I believe has been released in the UK since expo) and they have a tan remover which is a gel you rub on your skin and it is amazing at removing old tan. Prior to that though I would soak in a bath for as long as I could then rub with a tan remover mitt.

    Tans and rain!

    Good point re how hard it is to remove tan from our arm straight after a tan. Also I tanned my sister once and she spilt water down her leg from her drink bottle just as she was getting in the car. I had already raced off to pick up my kids from daycare so I couldn't try and 'fix' it. I might...

    Compulsory to wear make up in beauty therapy level 2?

    Our class got told off for not wearing make-up. They said it's our industry and we need to look the part. One of our trainers though said easiest option was to wear just some bronzer, mascara and lip balm. Even such a basic set of products can make such a difference and make you look more...

    7 Minute Brazilian wax-reviews?

    I wish I did mine in 15mins! Probably more a case that I'm not working in a salon 5 days a week now, only really doing one day/week. I do strip sugar at the minute but retraining myself in hot wax (haven't used it in 5yrs!). I liked the technique as a whole, just got to get a flexible hot wax...

    Eyebrow tinting problem

    How does the grey tint work? At one salon I worked at the ex-owners mum who stayed on as our receptionist liked grey on her brows but I've never used it or been trained with it...

    Eyebrow tinting problem

    I've also heard prepping the hairs with peroxide first for a couple of minutes, remove then apply the tint as usual works... The one client I used this trick on found her tint lasted ages! Sadly for me it meant I only tinted her brows ever 2-3mths. There was still the odd white hair that didn't...

    7 Minute Brazilian wax-reviews?

    In the video she does use strip across the top which she doesn't support too well but besides that (she uses hot wax for the rest) it looks pretty good I thought, if only Icould get my clients to be that flexy lol. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk
