I`m not sure if this is in the right place but it is non nail related so here goes.... I have just done my first all off bikini wax and I have to say having it sprung on me and not wanting to back out of a challenge, a challenge it most certainly was. Is there specific positions the clients...

I thought I better get back on here before I get a beating from Christine. I have popped back once or twice before but not posted as I didn`t feel quite comfortable in doing so. Its been ages since I`ve been here and there are so many new faces and names it`ll take a while to get back into...

I have a client that gets dirty looking polish and it happens whether he has polish or airbrushing. He says when his hands get hot the polish goes tacky and then they go discoloured. I`ve never come across this before and i wondered if anyone can shed some light? I also cannot understand how a...

Hi Geeks, has anyone missed me????????????? I`ve been busy and not had time to get on here much longer than a quick flick now and then but I`m back now and thought it about time we had another geeky gettogether. So how about it??????? I thought Saturday 9th July, at mine in Basildon, everyone...

I know she is busy and very stressed with trying to open her salon but she`s being missed here! I do hope she isn`t staying away after our last debate cos I`d hate that. We`re all adults, all have different opinions and we ought to be able to say what we think and remain friends too. Come on...

I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone here can answer for me. I have a home salon and so far really have only been playing at it. I`m now taking it really seriously, done a proper business plan and need to do everything properly and by the book but I need help with a couple of...

I have to tell you all what a fabulous salon Jessica has made for herself, I`m so jealous............. Christine and myself went along to offer her support and although we couldn`t get there until quite late in the afternoon due to work commitments and for the same reason other Essex geeks...

I need some help here, I`m attempting to build a business plan and need help with breaking down costs of treatments. When I started I just did my price list comparable with local salons and although I know from this site how much it costs to do a full set I have no idea how much it costs in...

I wondered how many of you like me only have other nail techs as a model for training courses and competition work. I for one think taking a client on a training course is unprofessional and my non tech friends and family have 9 to 5 jobs. Besides which I think only another tech can relate to...

I`ve just had a call from someone wanting to do a TV documentary based on the client that cannot live without her therapist and treatments. If I understand it correctly they want to follow the client in her routine for the day and the treatment involved that she or he cannot live without. If...

I wonder if someone can tell me the order of systems on the irritation ladder. I`ve forgotten how the order goes. I know gel is top of the ladder but then I`ve drawn a blank. I know I`ve got a slight hangover and I should wait until I feel better but wondered if someone can help me out here now!

Just a quickie reminder that the geeky meeting is this Saturday, around 7ish, in Basildon and its open house for anyone wishing to meet some of us, have a drink and a play (all nails you understand cos we`re all sooooooo boring) only kidding, how can nails ever be boring? Hope to see loads of faces

Strange question but I`m gonna ask anyway!!!!!!!!!! UV cabinets sterilise make-up sponges and other bits, can we use our UV lamps to do the same?

Hi all, I thought I`d throw a date at you all for the next meeting. Saturday 2th April, the shows will all be over by then and we`ll be getting withdrawal symptoms cos we have no dates in our diaries. It`ll be at my house, everyone is welcome, even those outside Essex, so come on geeks, don`t...

I`m looking for a blonde female nail tech called Carly, she would be about 25ish, used to rent accomodation in Enfield from a friend and has an uncle who owns a courier company somewhere in Essex. Is this you?????????? I have been approached by someone who has lost touch and wants to get...

I`m so sorry I have to do a message this way. I have tried several times to get this message across but the message box is full and emails don`t get received. I`ve even tried shouting but I have no way of knowing if messages are picked up that way unless they shout back. I can`t make Wednesday...

I have no idea id I`ve put this in the wrong forum so please forgive me if I have............ Am I right in thinking you use the same paint as nail art to do airbrushing on the hair?
