Hi all, I'm a bit of a lurker on the hair forum as I'm mainly nails but I am a trained hairdresser so I hope you don't mind me asking your advice. I used to have Racoon extensions for 2-3 years and got on with them really well. I stopped having them as I was off work after having my son...

The last bottle of top coat I received started dripping as I was using it, I mean top coat actually dripping from up inside the lid as I was using it which meant blobs of top coat on my clients hands and my hands and on the table. I thought maybe it was just a dodgy bottle but it's now started...

My brother has offered to go halves with me on 5000 double sided leaflets because I was moaning at how much I spent last time and didn't get any calls. He has a transport company and his advert would be on the other side. Would you girls go for this? It will be lots cheaper for me BUT I...

Just thought I'd let you all know that a new version of the magis foil wraps are coming out towards the end of the year. After speaking to one of the ladies at hq today I was told that they will have cotton pads in them (I don't like the rubbish sponges which leak when pressed) and hold more...

I have the new UV lamp and am wondering if it warns you when the bulbs are going to need replacing? I know you can press the reset button to find out how long is left but mine doesn't do anything when I press it so I have no idea!

I have searched and searched on Salon Geek tonight but cannot find the answer to this. Shellac has been a major boost to my business and (even though I also offer gel, l&p and natural treatments) it is now 80% of my business. I think it helps that I LOVE it!! I layer the colours, use glitter...

I have tried emailing them twice but have had no reply......it's not a great vote of confidence from the off!! Thought I would ask some of you geeks as I know some of you use it and some retail it also. My brother is getting married in May, his fiancee has had blinc mascara recommended to her...

Hello, hope you don't mind me popping over from Nail Geek to get some advice off you make-up geeks... Background info: I have suffered with acne since puberty, I'm now 28 and it's not going. I'm on medication for it and have to use a gel on my face so that I can control it. I suffer with a...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never used Minx and was wondering because I have no big toenail on one foot. It is very very tender/sensitive and I cannot use l&p, I have tried and it hurts to file it. I even tried sculpting one and then sticking it on after but then it obviously...

My 3 year old son has chicken pox, he's done really well at not scratching but he's knocked a scab off quite a big spot on his face today. I know they can scar quite badly, typical it had to be on his face. I'm just wondering if solar oil might help to reduce the scar? What do you think...

Do any of you use Simply books for your accountancy software? I am trying to decide which to use and know a few of you use quickbooks but this one is meant to be simpler still and cheaper.

Hiya, Just wondering how you carry your equipment around with you? I know there have been a million threads about cases/boxes/trolleys and I've seen some nice ones so i don't want to know that. My question is more of a do you fit it all in one or do you have 2 or 3? I don't see the point in...

I did my sister in laws nails yesterday afternoon for the first time in ages. She is a nail biter and had pretty short nail beds, I used an opaque pink to extend the nail bed and thought they looked quite good, and she was happy with them. She text me this morning to say that 2 nails had...

.....for the 3rd time and am still not impressed. Can you please advise ladies? Hiya, I am not a beauty therapist, but a nail technician, so have no idea which is why I am asking you ladies. I had my legs waxed after growing the hair for 6 weeks as advised by my local salon the 1st time and I...

Hi, after Joannes thread on foundation I thought I'd ask the next question.......how do you get great results from a concealer and which ones are good????? I have seen on various make-over shows that they seem to use green based ones to cover redness and spots and yellow based ones to cover...

I'm a big fan of The Body Shop and was looking around the other day in one of their stores to see if there was anything new I fancied trying. I came across a Strawberry Body Polish, thought it looked nice so bought it. Got in the shower last night, opened it up and got the best smell...

Hiya, I'm just asking cause I'm wondering what your life is like with him in the army? The reason being, I have been with my bloke for about 7 months now, I have fallen in love with him and he loves me.... fairytale story you might think! He has dropped the bombshell on me now that he wants to...

Hi, I have recently been considering buying the tantrick minimist machine (when I have saved a bit more dollar!!) as I plan to set up a little home salon in my spare bedroom within the next 6 months. However I received an e.mail 2day from MysticTan, they must watch what people are talking...
