Hi, I'm doing a client's hair and she's looking for a colour similar to this pic. She has a base 6 fading to base 8/9 at the bottoms. I usually use Matrix but I have been on maternity leave for a while and haven't used many cooper colours for ages. Does anyone have any suggestions for a similar...

Thank you, I'll try that!

Hi, I've got a bridal hair trial next week. I do a lot of wedding hair and usually I don't worry but this particular client has waist length hair and it is EXTREMELY thick! To add to my worries she wants an updo that's quite high on the head so that her veil will sit underneath. Does anybody...

Hi, Not been on here in a while but I'vejust done my friend's hair and need some advice. She is blonde and put a temporary pale purple colour on about a month ago, when that started fading she put a Pixie Lott silver colour on top and it turned green. It wasn't actually too bad but it isn't...

Hi, I usually use Matrix but a friend has asked if I'll do this purple shade on her hair. She's naturally a Base 6 and has about 3" roots with a Base 7 at the ends. I'm mobile and don't stock fun colours in as I have no demand for them. Can anyone give me any advice on what colour I could get...

My friend has asked me to do her shellac nails for a wedding on Friday. She has sent me this picture of her thumb nail. It was infected from a cut she had but now the infection has gone and a new nail is growing through so she wants me to smooth it over with gel or l&p before doing the shellac...

I'm Mel and I'm from Stoke-on-Trent :-) Sent from my GT-I9100 using SalonGeek mobile app

It's in front of a small class of about 6. Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated x

Sorry, just re-read the last bit. Again it was the same for us, not all of us paid but just try and get the ones that have to back you up. They might listen if it's more than one person who complains.

Hi hun, I've had a similar problem with my college. Have you spoken to anybody else in your class to see if they feel the same? A few of us complained at ours, but it took a couple of times and we had to go to the head of faculty to get them to pay any attention. Even then it took a few phone...

Hi Jody2412, Thanks for your reply, it is an interview to become a lecturer. I only have 15 minutes so I suppose I'll just have to keep it quite basic. Doing it from both points of view is a good idea though. Thanks for your help.

Hi geeks, I could do with a bit of advice, as I have an interview next week and need to prepare a micro teaching session on powerpoint. It is supposed to last no longer than 15 minutes and the topic is: "Maintaining Professional Standards", concentrating on 'practical assessments in...

I am also looking into this and have arranged a meeting with a careers advisor at my local college for some advice. From doing loads of research on the net it seems that a PTLLS, followed by a DTLLS is the way to do it. I think you will then be qualified to teach in a College or privately...but...

I have just started a new job and am having exactly the same issues! It really gets you down doesn't it?! I've only just started and I'm already thinking of handing my notice in. I do hairdressing too and have no junior and no drinks machine, I have to run all the way to the other end of the...

I'm in Stoke-on-Trent! :biggrin:

Hi, thanks for your reply. Do I need to do my pttls, cttls and dttls before I do the assessors award?

Thank you both. I will pop into my local college and find out who I need to speak to and get some info. I thought that working in a Spa might look good on my C.V. too :biggrin: thanks x

Hi geeks, I'm at a bit of a loose end. I left a salon previously because my job wasn't challenging enough any more and I wanted to do more training. I went mobile and gained some clients that way. Now I have been offered a job in a Spa where I will be doing hair and nails and it seems really...

Why was she (supposedly) trying to get hold of you all afternoon if everything was as she said it was and it was you that got the time wrong? Definitely something fishy and I think a contract and deposit is a good idea for the future.

Do you do any sort of appraisal with your staff? I haven't got my own salon so I can't speak from experience but I'm doing a Uni degree in salon management. One of the things that they really drill in to you is appraisals/staff meetings. This way you can get your concerns across to them and you...
