    Hand lotion?

    As part of our shellac service we finish with a lovely hand and arm massage using a choice of the scentsations lotions - these have now been discontinued so I decided we would have to use the citrus hydrating lotion only to be told today when placing an order with S2 that this has also been...

    D-sperse problems

    I’ve also put a similar message on sweet squares Facebook and there’s been loads of replies with similar issues. I look forward to hearing what S2 say after they’ve tested my returned bottle. I obviously prefer to use the recommended product to remove the sticky layer but if it leaves the...

    D-sperse problems

    Just checking if anyone else is having issues with Dsperse leaving nails dull after removing the sticky layer of shellac. After comparing the bottle ingredients it seems that the first ingredient on the list used to be isopropyl alcohol and is now Aqua (water) followed by isopropyl alcohol. We...

    Rose gold Lecente glitter

    I usually put satin pyjamas or safety pin under rose gold - either is fine and doesn’t alter the glitter colour. I have one client who has it every time she comes every 2 weeks. X

    Handling waitlists

    We often have a fully booked diary so a lot of our regulars book a few appointments in advance. Anyone not able to get an appointment is asked if they would like to go on our wait list. We take name and number and any other relevant details and if anyone re-arranges or cancels an appointment...

    Sunbed shop

    Don't worry too much I have a tanning and nail salon and this time of year is always quiet it will gradually improve with time and come Easter we are usually busy right through summer until November time. I think once the spring/ summer clothes arrive in the shops people realise how pale they...

    Calgel glitter

    There are 2 ways to do glitter - 1. Mix a small amount of clear gel with the glitter on foil and apply. I find this way difficult to mix the correct amount and waste quite a lot of gel. 2. Apply coloured gel as normal, do not remove sticky layer but brush on glitter and it will stick to...

    How to get my towels fluffy again?

    Quick tumble dry for 10 mins when nearly dry usually softens the towels. I hate hard towels so always do this and it works. X

    Communication with clients?

    We are a small salon and excuse ourselves to answer the phone - if we are really busy then it goes onto the answer machine. There are always people who don't like leaving messages but our phone records the numbers of all callers so we can ring them back between clients. All our clients...

    Male receptionist?

    Hi, my husband often helps on the reception desk evenings and weekends, when we're busy. Never had a problem. If he gets asked anything awkward he can always ask one of us so no problem at all. If we are in the treatment room he can always take a number and we can call when we are free. It...

    Colour pops

    I don't use base coat but I use NSI 'glaze and go' over the top of the shellac (only on the colour pop/sticks) this keeps them shiny. Clients usually chose colour whilst the current colour is soaking off and if any acetone touches the colour pop it spoils it. Glaze and go protects the colour...

    Charity Events

    I usually give a £5 or £10 voucher to add to the raffle. I like to donate to local fundraising events and it is usually clients who are asking for donations to raffle etc.

    Struggling only just opened tanning salon!

    You're right this time of year is pretty quiet for sunbeds - should pick up soon though especially with the sunshine were having. Easter usually is the start of the busy season. If it rains we are quiet if it's sunny we are busy. As soon as people book holidays they want to start their tans...

    Shellac removal - something's changed?

    If a clients hands are cold it tends to take a little longer to remove - just put a towel over whilst they're wrapped up and make a drink usually they're ready to remove by then.

    Client would like a dark brown Shellac

    I would chose fedora for a lovely very deep brown - faux fur is slightly lighter but still a brown if that is what she's wanting. X Diane

    Does anyone have a pic of their CND lamp with wrap cling?

    How do I get hold of these they're a brilliant idea - occasionally my lamps get marks on from polish remover or acetone so the stickers would hide the marks and could be easily replaced. Thanks
