Firstly I'm not sure if this one should be in chit chat instead, but I'll make a start here. Those of you who have converted garages into beauty rooms, now you have lived with it as working space, would you have done anything differently with the conversion? Are there any bits of the design...

Hi Skin Geeks, Please can you advise me on which type of massage I should be booking to help with my current issue? My posture is rubbish anyway and due to sitting awkwardly with a nail client recently and being tense, I have managed to give myself muscle pain that goes from my neck, over my...

I'm hoping some hair geeks may be able to let me know if there is anything I can do regarding my scalp being irritated after my colour was applied a few days ago. By irritated I mean that I want to scratch it a lot but I am able to stop myself going too far to prevent breaking the skin. It has...

I thought it would be good to have a thread to share photos of nails in Gel II for colour reference. I can't wait to get my hands on some of this and I know that there are lots of Geeks that have bought the system, so let's get sharing! :green:

I'm trying to gain more information on LED lamps, but seem to be hitting a brick wall. The longer they have been around, the more they seem to improve or so it appears. If you take the Harmomy LED lamps they have increased in power from the 6g, the 9g and now the 18g. The new Gel II lamp is...

I received an email today from Lena White saying that OPI Gel Colour will now be sold at a new reduced price (I will not post trade prices). So first it was Artistic Colour Gloss and now OPI Gel Colour. I wonder if this will start to spread across the board.

We have loads of threads about whether these are needed, so this is not a repeat thread for that, but from reading past threads a good few nail techs have invested in these and enough time has elapsed now to reflect on whether you feel it was a good investment and whether your brand choice was...

There are lots of useful posts surrounding tips on getting a good application with Vinylux so this thread is not aimed at that. What I'm interested in is a list of the saints and the sinners when it comes to application differences. For example I get a beautiful, easy smooth finish with Tutti...

Hair Geeks, I'm not too sure how far your training goes regarding this kind of thing but I would love to know your thoughts if there is hope for me! I now have very short hair just like the picture, but mine is dark. I used to love wearing hats, but since having my hair cut this short they...

So they were released today and some of you were bound to have got your hands on them already, so where are the pictures of the nails you have created with this new collection? Call me impatient but there is hardly anything on Facebook today of actual nails painted in these colours, even from...

I'm going to enquire about putting a poster in the window of the library in my town, so have been having a play on Vistaprint to see what I come up with. I want it to be eye catching and not too wordy, so punchy and to the point to keep their interest, but me being me I cannot narrow it down...

I have had a couple of requests when someone wants to treat a friend and pay for the service, but they live out of the local area so cannot simply pop in to pay for their friend's treatment. I suggested online payment to my bank with the condition that payment is made 24 hours before the...

Have any of you had it? I read all the tips on here on how to use Vinylux for Rockstar toes before trying it out on my own toes the other day. It didn't go well, the glitter was Irresisitible holographic silver which usually pops with Shellac, but it went really dull and stayed dull after top...

In this month's Scratch magazine it looks like the CND courses have been restructured. Manicure and Pedicure separated and back to one day each, Shellac beginners now two days and Master Painter reduced in price, among others. I guess a new education brochure must be due out then, as many say POA.

A few people have asked about manicure bowls (no 'E'!) :wink2: lately, so I thought a picture thread would be good to see everyone's set ups including spa ritual trays too. I remember searching the net for inspiration on the ritual trays and not seeing any pictures, so thought it would be nice...

Do you do this? I've noticed on my business page newsfeed that some people post either their availability for the coming week or if they have had a cancellation. I'm just wondering how much uptake you have from these posts.

Do you save that for when you book people in? The reason I ask is that I really want to get a nice card designed by Carl and I really like the folded ones that include everything like prices inside and appointments/loyalty on the back. However, I have been holding back because we want to move...

When someone books in for their wedding nails appointment or another special occasion, what do you do to make it extra special for them? I know there are rules about alcohol, so Champagne etc would be off the menu without a license and some brides go crazy with weight loss regimes on the run...

Away from family too, did it feel weird being somewhere else? We have this option next year so have been considering it but I've never been away from family and home before during Christmas so I'm not sure if I will get home sick. :o There will be nobody else around to spend Christmas day with...
