    Haven’t done nails for about 5 years

    I’ve just looked at the courses and can’t find one near me. I’m Hampshire/Berkshire border. Can you tell me how much it costs please? X

    Haven’t done nails for about 5 years

    unfortunately we live in a different property now and although it’s bigger we don’t have a spare room. Good luck with setting up again. I’d love to just rent a space somewhere and have been looking. X

    Haven’t done nails for about 5 years

    I trained about 10 years ago and had a Home salon. What with one thing and another I stopped and sold all my beauty stuff but kept my shellac lamp and nail bits. I’ve been doing my own nails though. I’ve recently looked on sweet squared at all the beautiful new colours and it’s giving me itchy...

    Mobile nails without a car

    Have you thought about hiring a Hall close to you for say a morning or afternoon. You’d need to advertise it first to make sure it would be worth your while. That way you’d be getting clients from your own vacinity. Needs a bit of organising I admit.

    Hi There used to be a forum years ago where people said if they were looking for beauty rooms or those who were looking to let theirs out. Is it still around somewhere please?

    Coming back to nails

    Thank you for your reply. I think it's actually doing the nails. It's been so long and I can't even have nice nails for my current job. I suppose I've answered my own question.....practice practice practice x

    Coming back to nails

    Hi everyone I've been away for some time. I changed career and went into healthcare. I keep getting drawn back to nails. Not so much the beauty side of things. I loved shellac and see so much has changed. I trained at the Carlton Institute in Windsor to do manicures, extensions and beauty...

    Low odour polish

    Hi I'm helping a charity by painting girls' nails when they are in hospital during 2 weeks Intravenous antibiotics. I actually work on the childrens' ward as HealthCare support worker. I've been out of the industry for nearly 3 years now and am slowly getting back into with researching new...

    Have been offered a nail table to rent-questions

    following on from my post last night I have been to see a hairdresser who is willing to let me rent a space for nails. You may be surprised to hear it is actually within a hospital. Nurses obviously can't have their nails done but there are of course secretaries and admin staff as well as...

    Wanting to start up again

    Thank you for your replies. I could go mobile and do drive. I've actually contacted a hairdresser last night asking if she would be interested in letting a bit of space to me.... I'm seeing her this afternoon. I've no idea how much a nail station space would be 😳 If that fails I'll...

    Wanting to start up again

    Hi everyone Its been a while since I've been on here. I had a home salon but felt fed up with being stuck indoors all the time. Long story short I got a job in a completely different industry (NHS) for the last few months I really want to get back into nails, mainly shellac. I still have...

    Online Mentor?

    I didn't want to read and run. I think it's a lovely idea. I know I could do with a mentor sometimes. There are some very knowledgeable geeks on here. I'm sure someone will be along soon to help you. Xx

    Salongeek and the people on it are so supportive. Its just so lovely that we all support each other. By the way I got the job. Received a call this afternoon. I'm so chuffed. I'll be working on the children's ward. I will still keep my beauty business going. I've no idea why my font...

    Beauty courses

    I have done lots of one day courses. Some have been great but others not quite so. You leave there with a qualification yet may have only say tinted one eyebrow. I felt that short courses where good for me being a mature er very mature student. But I wish I'd now done an nvq or similar and then...

    Voucher and closed business

    Ladies I have been quite overwhelmed with the support. But that's what I love about salongeek. So many of us read threads and think yes I've felt like that or that has happened to me and sometimes it's just good to have a moan. I know we are all professionals but sometimes you just need to get...
