    What would it take for you to go employed?

    Lots of employers struggle to recruit in hair and beauty and there is often high staff turnover. I think the industry needs an honest dialogue about what potential employees want from an employer. I have my own strong ideas on this but I think it would be good to talk about it as I've seen a...

    Most turquoise Shellac?

    I'm thinking it's either cerulean sea or aqua intance? What are your thoughts? Layering ideas also welcome. I've got a lush tropics and studio white that might go towards a layering combo. Thanks :)

    Shellac Blushing Topaz

    More glitter Shellac

    I would love to see more glitter in the shellac range. Something like this: I know there's a lot that can be done with loose glitter but I find the premixed products to be faster to work with and so more ergonomic.

    Cuticle knife, really?

    So I've been reading through the vtct assessment logbook for manicure and although it doesn't say that learners have to cover it in the range, the logbook mentions the use of a cuticle knife. Seriously? Do you absolutely have to teach learners to use a cuticle knife? With respect to people who...

    Online teaching courses?

    I did my Level 3 Award in Education and Training (formerly known as ptlls) online. I enjoyed it and found it suitably challenging. Ideally I would do the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Training (formerly known as ctlls) at college because it would probably be more hands on and more...

    The rise of the level 4 qualification

    I notice that loads of colleges are offering level 4 qualifications in hair and beauty this September. What are your thoughts on this? Are they surplus to requirement? Setting a higher standard? Created to try and bring a vocation into an academic approach? Money that could be better spent? An...

    Psychology or makeup?

    Random question I know because it's like comparing apples to oranges but seeing that I want to study subjects to be able to teach them in further education, I decided to post my question here.

    Stuff you were going to train in but glad you didn't
