Hi Guys, I haven't done acrylics for over 15 years so I am a bit rusty on my knowledge. I am doing my own nails. I removed the set done in a salon 4 weeks ago and I am going to do a new set of tips and overlay. Please remind me, is it essential to remove all traces of the old acrylic or can a...

Thanks. Just visited Le Chat website and made my first order. The prices are so much more reasonable, it is definitely more affordable for the clients to have a treatment. Has anybody tried other gel systems than Nobility from Le Chat? I spotted some lovely colors in their color gel system, but...

Hi, I heard not so long ago that there is another company that does an alternative to bio-sculpture gels and the price for their product is lower than bio. Does anybody knows the name of the company? I would like to try their products. Thanks

Just had an e-mail yesterday offering ticket for £10 with promotional code. I purchased my ticket a month ago for £20 and was very angry: I dont mind paying more, but at least don't rub it in my face. In addition to that I received an e-mail with code for my ex-collegue whom we did go on the...

I don't actually do a 50% discount, I was just giving it as an example, but thanks for advice. I have looked through the threads and found some fab ideas.

I am in similar position at the moment, work full time and take clients in the evenings and weekends. To be honest I cannot see the point of working in the salon for £5 an hour (or so) even if you do your favorite job. I have desided to give myself a year and see what I am able to acieve...

No I don't have different prices, it's just I have a stand with my business cards at local supermarket (there is no info about prices there at all), so if I run promo on certain treatment i get confused. But you're absolutely right, I should probably offer a discount anyway.. I am new to...

Here is my problem. On a website A, I advertized, say, half price waxing, on a website B, I am registered just as a home based therapist without any mentioning of promotions. If the client who got my information from site B calls and askes about waxing, should I mention promotion price or...

Don't you have anything about it in your college book, I know we had when I was in college (we also had to sit on real reception and actually take phone calls and bookings). We had things like: MANI PEDI 1/2 - half leg wax full - full leg wax ELT -eyelash tint EBT - eyebrow tint... and so on...

I do cut the cuticle off (I leave around 0.5mm) if the client askes for it (and most of them do). I always cut my own off, that is just something we have all been taught back home (manicure with cuticle just pushed back was called "european manicure"). For me personally nails do look much...

salons direct have a budget line lotus essentials. For £25 you get 3 pots of cream wax, 1 pot of honey wax, 500ml pre wax cleaner,500ml after wax oil, 500ml after wax lotion, 500ml equipment cleaner, 400 waxing strips and a box of spatulas. You can get a wax heater from them as well, prices...

I wear gloves when do "pot and spatula" as I do get messy hands and it is easy just to change the glove then try to get wax off your hands. With hot wax or roller wax I dont. I just say to the client that I am going to wash my hands while he/she is getting ready.

I printed out some gift vouchers to use with their next appointment, that will keep clients coming back. I have also put together some package deals, but that does not seem to work very well at the moment, well.. I still have clients calling, but they ask about different treatments rather than...

Unbelievable what some people can do. I work from home (and I live alone!) so anything suspicious is a definite no-no. I may lose some genuine clients, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. The conversations usually go like that : do you do full body massage? (no, I only do back and shoulders)...

I use electric underblanket and I have brilliant woolen throw that I bought in Scotland. The only problem is how to wake up client after the treatment.

Yell.com contacted me in march this year when I just started freelancing and offered me to place an advert for £21 a month, which I agreed to thinking that the price is very reasonable and yell.com is a good place to advertise. They promised me 3-4 new clients a month, it's been 7 month so far...

I had mine from FeelGoodMassage. It is quite heavy but may suit you if you are not going mobile. The couch is brilliant, it comes with additional head cushion (for taller clients)and armrests. It is very stable, with wooden base and height is adjustable. It has a face hole (pardon my english) on...

Saya, how did it go?
