Which one best describes me? I have a full time office job (optical manager), in the beginning i loved it! I studied Human Resource Management and went on to study Marketing management. i've been at my current job for 3 years. I love to take risks in life and i'm very ambitious. i've only...

Thanx for your advice. Here in namibia, you can run a beauty salon without having a certificate, your insurance does cover you (that's why there's a salon around every corner :-( So i do not need a certificate for that, but i do want to be able to give excellent treatments. I will NEVER EVER...

I know this would sound silly :-) What is the difference between a beauty therapist and a beautician? XXX

Hi ladies & gents. Any of you know of someone that gives minx training in Africa, Namibia? Thanx XXX

Hi Friends :-) I'm currently a nail geek. My friend is a qualified Beauty Therapist who works in a salon for less than minimum wage. (she's also home based & mobile part-time, but she does not have a big client base as of yet) My friend wants to teach me beauty therapy (waxing, tinting...

Talk about Bitchyness in salons, didn't think i'll find it on here! Vicky, your post is really just that! I'm one of the Nail Technicians (maybe i should'nt call myself that anymore), that did a "crash" course. Why? Because it's the only course being offered here in Africa. If i had the option...

I did a survey. Seems that facials, waxing and eyelash extension are what people here want. I live in a cold climate, so spraytan is not an option. Now i don't know which to do first? Waxing, Facials or eyelash extensions...? I eventually want to do everything. But since i can only take a...

Great! I'll add you too... I'm on as Glam Nailz :lol::lol:

Facebook is great Shelley! I allow them to book online via inbox (some write on the wall), some phone or text. I get most, no wait, ALL my clients from facebook. I have not received 1 booking from my flyers, newspaper adverts etc. XXX

I too was in a position as the girl. (not in the beauty industry though). I did'nt wear make up and was kinda off-ish with clients :-( I did'nt actually notice at the time, it was my personallity THEN. My boss called me in and wanted to let me go, i told her i'll change. It took a while, but i...

I use gel on my white, clear and natural tips. Never had a problem. I mostly do white tips (clients prefer this). The gel I use is from a local company. Angelic nails and Planet Nails. XXX

Hi Kelly, what was your weekly competition? How did you pick your winners? (from all your facebook friends or was there a competition?) XXX

She actually said you were not highly trained??!! OMW! Some people always think they know better, and then all these unqualified nail techs come give us a bad name.... Just think, you have a new client in your chair, and all the while she's thinking: "this girl does not have a clue what she's...

Maybe she wanted to discredit me and knock my confidence, but i mainly think she just wanted her nails done and thought she could get her money back or something. I really don't know what went through her head, but i'm glad that's over. Did my french mani today, the client loved it! Struggled...

Yip, i learned a valuable lesson. Angel, the look on her face was totally priceless,lol... I actually had to send a client away yesterday, as i was too upset to do her nails. I did'nt doubt my work, i mean, come on, I do my own nails, and usually it's french tips with gel overlay, which is...

Thanx everyone, i'll take all your advice in. Wil let you know how it went... ( i'm actually scared and excited,lol) XXX

You know what guys? She works a building away from me (actually neighbours). I was in the shop today and in walks she. I walked up to her and demanded to see her nails, and what do you know? ALL where intact, NONE had fallen off or lifted!!!! I just looked at her and shook my head. She was...

I've only done 2 french mani's before (with gel), and they looked all wrong! Now i have a client book for a french mani AND a pedi!!! The smile lines looks so unsteady and it looks like my gel is too thin (almost see through). I dread doing french mani, but i have to learn the correct procedure...

Nope, did'nt refund her. Told her since i spend my time doing her nails & she can't prove that they fell off (she does not want to come in & show me), i will not refund her! She is working as a bank clerk. i think something is fishy too. i came to the conclusion that she just wanted her nails...

Thanx for all your reply's. Well, after lots of sms's and Facebook msg's, im just so down, but yet so mad. She is now claiming that she arrived on time. i asked her, that why if she is qualified would she tell me not to finish my prep & why did she not do her own nails, as i usually do my own...
