    Advice on being a mobile nail technician

    I know it's hard to get time off but nails is something that requires hands on teaching. I trained with the centre in Scotland who are CND based and they were amazing and always there to help any questions and problems I have xx

    Shocking "Shellac" prices!

    Exactly this!! As a home based nail tech, I charge £18 for Shellac. When doing pamper parties I've brought it to £15 for the reasons listed above. I don't class myself as budget, or as a scrimper. I use all the right products, have been fully CND trained (Shellac, Minx, Enhancements) and...

    No confidence with spray tanning

    It sounds like you need more practice. Perhaps a few more clients (non paying or reduced fee) until you feel more confident.

    Best time of year to have a baby?

    Have to agree with above that it's v hard to plan! I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant with my 2nd and due in April, however I was quite ill at the start that I couldn't take on many clients so I've found my business has suffered already. I'm hoping the Christmas rush will help me out again! Got...

    Feeling deflated

    Tips have never been my favourite thing, but I recently took a course with The Centre, Glasgow and trained in CND Enhancements. They covered tips and sculpting. I did like the sculpting as it was quicker in a way, but I've used more models that need tips as I really want to build my skill up...

    Losing my confidence with gel nails

    I haven't heard of that make, but if your brisa and bio nails are still looking great after time then it's obviously the product that's the problem. I'd speak to the owner/manager and say that you think it's the product that is an issue and perhaps to prove to her, use brisa for a short time for...

    Nail discounts

    Yeah I give discounts to my close family but everyone else pays full price. I was worse for this at the start and gave discounts constantly and then realised how much money I was losing! Most of my friends realise it's my business and how I earn money and not a hobby.

    CND Complete questions

    I'm doing CND Enhance at the mo. You get enough product to last you for quite a few clients. Re liquid and powder we learned how to sculpt and tip. I had a model with fan shaped nails so I was shown how to tailor the tip to make it for better.

    Mobile & pregnant

    Thanks girls! I've got a little girl who's nearly 3 so I know what it's like, however I wasn't mobile when I last was pregnant so I wasn't sure if lifting 5kg beds up stairs in flats would be the best idea!

    Mobile & pregnant

    Hi, I run my own home salon, however I get asked occasionally to do mobile work such as tans and make up which is no problem. However, I've recently found out that I'm 5 weeks pregnant (v happy!), so work wise all is fine, however I've had someone ask me for eyelash extensions for the end...

    Gift voucher template

    Hi, Does anyone have a gift voucher template that I could use? I've been asked by a local raffle to give a voucher, but I don't normally have vouchers in but would like to donate something so I'm going to make it on word/powerpoint. Any help greatly appreciated!
