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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi geeks, I can't seem to find a thread that says what I want. I have a client that's got blonde hair, quite porous and says she wants to try red. I'm just wondering the best way of getting a red that won't fade too quickly? I mostly just use permanent Matrix Socolour but I'm sure I've read...

Hi, I've got a wedding trial in a couple of weeks and she wants her hair up and sleek (no curls). I use Matrix but I don't do a lot of bridal hair at the moment, so I was wondering what were the best Matrix products to use? I was going to use heated rollers to get the volume and maybe do...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anybody can recommend a good hair-up course? I love doing these but I just need a bit more confidence. I'm in the Staffordshire area but will travel if I can find a good one :) I have tried a search on here but it just comes up with info on extensions. Thanks.

Hi, I've just booked a place on a Shellac course and ordered my first few colours to practise with, really excited!! I've also been experimenting and done my first set of Rockstar toes on myself and I'm really pleased with them...so sparkly! :) I love this business...can't wait to start blinging...

Hi Geeks, I have tried to apply for membership with Sweet Squared twice now and am not hearing anything back. It's frustrating because I really want to go on their Shellac and Minx courses. I have a certificate supported by BABTAC for a complete nail technician course that I attended earlier...

Hi, I've just watched a tutorial and the technician used glaze n go. I was wondering if you can use this with other makes or if it is only compatible with NSI? Thanks x

Hi, I was wondering where I can buy a curette from? I've searched on the internet and can't seem to find one. Thanks.

Hi, I'm fairly new at this, but I do understand that a soak off gel isn't as tough and won't last as long as a buff off gel. When I use a buff off gel and a client wants them removed I find it's really hard to get off! Has anybody got any tips on which makes they prefer to use and what their...

Hi, I've just qualified as a nail technician and am using salon system acrylics. I have found that they keep lifting even though I am making sure I prepare the nail properly and am following all the guidelines. I have come to the conclusion that it is the product as it was one of the cheaper...
