Hi there - i know where your coming from! i got trained 5 months ago in acrylics and n the course they explain infills but there wasnt a model to show you how. I watched a few youtube videos and searched tips but nothing is as good as experience. Are all family and friends letting you do...

Hi There, I do acrylic nails mobile part time - just doing acrylics in french natural or colour. I dont do nail art etc and havent been trained in this either. At Xmas time, I put crystal gems on my own nails - it was really nice and i got a lot of compliments from clients and friends. A...

I got individual (Cluster/Flare) Lashes put in for new year and they were amazing! They were only £12 and advertised as weekend lashes They were a thick as thick strip lashes and lasted almost two weeks in the end! Downside - the salon is near my hometown and not where i live! Have found a...

What others are saying is correct - your insurance doesnt cover you to do acrylics. Also, how would you feel if someone was cutting and colouring your hair and you find out they werent qualified, just good at it? No too happy i dont think! You would be cheating clients if you are not qualified...

I agree with a lot of the comments – you cant really be angry and you can bring your prices down. Maybe its more hidden jealousy that she has moved on to somewhere that offers what you aren’t willing to. Also you don’t know what course/qualifications this person has had – and although you have 6...

Hi There, I have a full head of beads in just now and i love them!! I have had glue in twice before and i personally found them a nightmare - was really careful esp the second time but glue always knotted my hair, was a pain to wash and couldnt do many styles with it. Also both times my hair...

I would be questioning why you didnt get an after care advise slip - get in touch with whoever done it and ask her to email you one/drop one by as soon as, as its not just what you use to wash your hair, its how your brush it etc too that effects it! I find Johnstons no tangles shampoo and...

Hi there, You can get sticks ons for the day - superdrug do them for about £2.50 - they come with sticky tabs so u can just pull them off when u are done. They look great but i dont think the tabs are too good the more you do/more often you wash you hands but saying that i have tried to wear...

Hi there, when i was starting up i found this website really good for manuals esp when i was making up my aftercare sheet. Nail Knowledge | Nails by Mia However there isnt specific to NSI - maybe only NSI can give you that? I trained with a different company to NSI however i use their...

I looked into training with them and i decided against it. There are a lot of better priced courses out there that offer a quicker service with an actual human and the quality of the course is just as good! 12 weeks being trained with a dvd and plastic hand isnt ideal for me but everyone is...

I use NSI Soft white and Pink Masque and the pink masque is great for infills - i havent used the others so can compare to them! I find with too much filling u take off so much acrylic and end up putting almost all the pink back on (i did this with my first client!!) But with the mask, you...

I actually gasped out loud - this is awful! I agree with above comments - i doubt that mixing brands is illegal but all trained nail geeks KNOW that you shouldnt mix it - not least because you never know how too diff products will react and what type of acrylic/bead it will make!! I would...

Which hair extensions are the least harmful to my hair? I have had glue in before and whilst i got on fine with them, i lost a lot of hair when they were taken out (more down to the "hairdresser" pouring a bottle of acetone in my hair and ripping them out for 3 hrs!!) Anyway... I have been...

Hey i think there are pros and cons to both College - Full insight into the knowledge of nails etc but very time consuming and little practical work. Course - Quick and learn fast - but miss out some of the finer details. Most nail extension courses either include a manicure part or...

I also use NSI attraction and at the moment my prices are: Full set Acrylic Nails £15.00 Infills/Re-Balance £ 8.00 Replacement Nail £ 1.50 Removal £ 8.00 Removal & Nails £20.00 So really I charge £3 less for a removal than I would normally. However i have only had to do this once, as i...

Im going to use: Andrea Fulerton Crystal Gemstones - got three sets (300 gems) Going to put a grey polish ontop of acrylics and use the stones in rows on top - about 20-25 a nail Seen it in the The Sun's Buzx mag and loved it! Although when i do it later tonight i doubt i will be feeling the...

I have been looking at flip-in extensions and whilst the reviews a minimum online - they are all good! Hair Extensions, Human Hair, Trade Hair Extensions, Flip-In Hair ® 16" is £115 inc delivery - be careful u dont get ripped off by people charging more cause there is a lot online adding...

I done a course with Nail Zone - they only do courses in Scotland and not sure where you are based but there are other companies who do a similar course. Search for local training academies. It was a 2 day intensive course in beginner acrylics. I only do this part time so it was perfect for...

A new client has had an allergic reaction to acylic nails. This was the first time she has had acrylic nails on - she has only ever used stick ons. She had removed stick on's a few days before I done her nails. When i was doing her nails she had a swollen thumb - she wasnt sure what she...
