    Ikea Malm table-need advice!

    I use the malm and it’s fine. I think all IKEA furniture have wall fixings due to an incident a few years ago where a child pulled a set of drawers into itself, so I think they have to do it for legal reasons. It’s very sturdy though and the perfect width for doing nails x

    Best seating arrangement for doing client’s toe nails?

    I do toes on my beauty bed so I’m at a good height, it used to kill my back having to bend over doing them any other way

    Which nail tip brands do you use?

    I use the pro impressions advanced smile well-less tips and they are fab. Really well priced too and they don’t need any blending x

    Patch testing for lash extensions

    I would definately explain to the owner that you need to do the patch test your self. If the receptionist hasn't done the training, then I don't know if the patch test would stand? Wether you or the receptionist did the patch test, she would still need the treatment room for the 15 mins as the...
