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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

I've closed my business. Things were very quiet. People wanting something for nothing all the time and quite honestly I was fed up of working from home. Anyway I gave a voucher for manicure as a raffle prize and woman is booked in for Monday. Should I honour the voucher? My room is such a...

Hi all I always do 2 coats of top coat on rockstar nails but the last couple have been rough to the touch after I've d.spersed them. Any suggestions? Many thanks Lorraine x

I'm finding it difficult to find a lash lifting course anywhere near to where I live. Do you know if I could go on just a lash perming course but then offer lash lifting or do I have to train separately in both? many thanks Oh I'm in North Hamphsire near Berkshire if anyone knows of any...

Hi hair geeks. I've popped over from nails and beauty in the hope that someone can help. I'd had highlighted hair but wanted to go back to brunette. I specifically asked to not have anything with red tones in it. It turned out darker than expected but I know it will fade fairly quickly but when...

I know nurses aren't supposed to wear any varnish but if one were to, what would be the best thing to use to help protect weak flaky nails?

I'm ways a bit behind everyone else. I was with the dashing diva and shellac. Both of which I wouldn't be without now. I've searched rockstar nails but can't really find exactly what it is or how it's done. Be gentle with me, I'm old xx

I use the cnd lamp for doing shellac polish on hands but I'm wondering how your client comfortably gets their foot in it? I have a lamp I used to use where the whole bottom comes off so you place it over the clients foot. It's a brilliant design. I know part of the cnd lamp comes off to make...

Best gel I've ever used. If you are thinking of using it then what are you waiting for. I'm a bit cack handed at sculpting but this gel has taken away all my fears. X

Have I been in a time warp but I had a call from a new client who is coming for shellac and she told me there is a sheet showing the colours you get with layering. I must admit I haven't played around with layering yet. :-/

Hi i've a client coming who has broken a nail right down. I was thinking of sculpting with gel rather than using a tip but she wants shellac so should I buff that one and take the shine off it? Many thanks

I had some reward cards when I first set up my home salon. Obviously wanting to reward those who came back regularly. I had a client who came for lashes and then infills and then brow and lip waxing. She has booked brow and lip wax and facial asking for the facial to be her free treatment. My...

I always thought that facial was done first and then the waxing. But I'm going through my aftercare sheets and on the facial one it says no hair removal. Hmmmmmmm what do you do? Many thanks X

Hi all, there was a thread on here the other week about what position you have your client in for eyelash tinting. Well what position do you have your client in for eyebrow tint and or wax? I was trained with client laying on couch and me working from behind the head of the couch. Although...
