Hi CarlaLouise, Iv just spoken to Thalgo, they do not have a minimum order value as such, but if you order over £100.00 then its foc postage (otherwise you have to pay the postage). If you call them they will send you some samples and price lists. HTH Donna xx

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one! It takes me about 2 hours too, although I find I get so bored, end up putting the tv on and getting distracted, so often takes me longer as I find myself sat still for 30 throughout eastenders! Or having a well earned glass of vino! Must not get...

Hi there I have a big comfy leather sofa and then a pedi-stool with a big leather foot rest that clients can rest the foot on. I also have a beauty couch, but i find personally for me a little awkward for pedicures, however some clients perfer it, but not many. I find when they are sat down...

Oooo nearly forgot, add yourself to the Biosculpture group hun x

Hi Emma When i first started a full set took me a good couple of hours, now it takes me about 1 hour 15 including prep for sculptures and about 45-1 hour NNO. Dont be too concerned if it takes you longer as it is your first set, it will get quicker over time. Also you will find when the...

Totally agree, its not the products that harm the nails, it is poor technique! I have been doing Bio for about 6 years and i never buff the natural nail, i just ensure a good cleanse\dehydrate followed by Vit dose and Exec base. After 6 years of using Bio, mine, nor clients nails are damaged...

Hi Kelly As an alternative, try also looking at BioSculpture. I didnt do the manicure\pedicure course as i did an NVQ at college, but im sure they do them there and Bio Gels are very good for natural nails. I dont offer acrylics either and although i get asked for them, once they have tried...

I was always taught to polish in 3 strokes. Whilst this works well for small nails, it is pretty difficult on large toe nails. I tend to visually split the nail in half straight down the middle and then think of it as two nails, do the left half in a couple of stokes (as if it was a small...

Hi I use a laidle too, but i found a nice small one (from the local £1 shop!!) and does the job perfectly and small enough to pack in the wax heater bag when mobile :)

Hi there I have done NVQ courses with Carlton Institute and they are ok, however you will not learn everything you need to know in 1 or 2 days. You really really do need to self study afterwards and find out things yourself. I had previous experience in some areas prior to doing the 1 day...

Thank you for your reply, will try this and see how i get on :)

Hi there, i too use Natural Elements by essentially yours, its lovely :)

Hi Nicola I use a fluffy chocolate fleece blanket with gold cushions as it matches my colour scheme, but you can get them in most colours now. They look really nice and feel soft and fluffy too! :)

Hello all, I am quite new to waxing and having a little problem. When i wax my own legs, about 3-4 days later, it is really really itchy and driving me mad! :cry: None of my clients have this problem, just me, however i would like to know what to recommend if a client does get this. I use...

Thank you so much, this is really helpfull :D

Hello all This probably sounds a really dumb question, but I have a mens chest to wax and its my first one and im really quite scared!! Just wondering if you have any pointers as there is quite alot of hair and very long and tangled! Im not sure if i can see the direction of the hair as there...

Hi all I still am a telephone engineer. Going from that to beauty therapy\nails is one extream to the other! I have had a few giggles on site with a client as I had to cut my own nails down so I can work on their system. They thought i was mad! :D

Hi, I use Natural Elements www.essentially-yours.co.uk it is totally organic, my clients love it. I use it myself (have oily skin) and it really keeps it in check.
