    Vile, rude woman!

    And I'm sure she would have been the 1st to sue me if she'd had a reaction to the tint!

    Vile, rude woman!

    Seriously, good manners are easily carried! Grrr Just had a "lady" come in with a regular HD Brow client of mine. She was looking to get HDs, so I politely explained about a patch test, 48hrs, and that unfortunately even though she's had a tint done before else where (as she pointed out) she...

    How to deal with this complaint?

    Hi Guys, just looking a bit of advice on what to do next, if anything? A week ago a local girl I knew from years ago booked in for makeup. I was already booked up so I couldn't take the appointment at that time so she happily booked in with my other MUA. She also booked in for make up the...

    Do you find HD Brows as popular a treatment as ever?

    I have noticed a decrease since last year. But I think it may because people are trying to stretch it out longer between appointments or I find people are trying to maintain it themselves ...until they mess it up and have to come back, lol. But I think it is falling out of fashion slightly? The...

    Random / strange things we get asked?

    Maybe it's just me & where I live but we do get the most bizarre questions & requests. Keeps me chuckling through the week anyway Last week, did he we sell face paints for horses? Then could they bring in the horse so we could do him up?? Very hard to keep a straight face One other time a...

    Am I missing the bigger picture?

    The press is fantastic idea! Thank you so much! :hug: Also do you think, with me being the boss I would need to speak a bit? I don't think I could without sounding like a bumbling idiot :cry:

    Am I missing the bigger picture?

    Just a little business advice needed, to me this doesn't seem like a profitable idea but maybe I'm missing the bigger picture? I'm running a few free special FX courses in my shop for Halloween (obviously not a professional one), of course the idea is that people will buy our products...

    People relying too heavily on Photoshop?

    Thanks for your reply, it has made me feel better :) Yeah, I know what you mean about time, but it wasn't the case in this instance because we were still waiting on the clothes & hairdresser to arrive. I think they didn't know what they wanted xox

    Make-up application time

    People relying too heavily on Photoshop?

    On any make up artistry course I have been on I have always been taught that you should never rely on photoshop for anything, that make up should be perfect, photoshop being a last resort for something outside your control. Which I agree completely with However I was doing a photoshoot last...

    Anybody spray tan themselves?

    I just apply the solution with a mitt, but I always spray my hands & feet, which are easy to do, but for nearly impossible for me to do properly with a mitt

    FAO HD brows stylists: doing your own brows

    Fab job! I love them - I'd go to you any day!! I do my own just, when I started doing them there was no-one local that did them, so I had no choice. Now I still do them myself because I'm just too fussy to let anybody at them, but as I said Id let you, because your's are fab :)

    Curls falling out?

    Ok just a brief! I'm a MUA & I employ a hairdresser - this is about her work, not mine Now, she's a great wee girl & a hard worker, I'm fond of her but when I took her on, not being a hairdresser I suppose I didn't look out for the right signs so a lot of this is my fault We only style...

    Retail merchandising: tips and advice

    Well I only work with make up but when I'm applying the various products during an application I talk a little about why I chose this foundation/shadow/blush etc, because the colour compliments them, hides pores, lifts their eyes etc & go into all about the product, where it came from, who...

    How to politely say no to sponsorships?

    I'm terrible at saying no to people :o but the bottom line is I can't afford it! I'm sponsering a girl for a pagent type competition already & I don't mind sponsering her because she's a wee dote & I'm very fond of her. But since I've done it for her I'm inundated with people looking similar...

    Had to call police on client

    OMG! You poor thing, but you handled it perfectly ...well done! I know for a fact I would have just handed her the money to get rid of her when I was 19, I would have been that intimidated! But as for her bad-mouthing you, more than likely the people she would be telling know exactly what...

    Make-up lessons

    I charge £99 for a 3hour lesson, I get them to bring their own make up + brushes + see what for keeps + what's for the bin. Then I see what sort of looks they want to be able to do, do it for them + make sure they can do it too! I give them face charts of the looks + let them take their own...

    To refund or not? Help!

    Do you think you fill the spaces in that time? If so I would probably give her everything back because the deposit is there as a guarentee that you will not have a loss if she didn't show + you were left with spaces you couldn't fill But as was already said there is nothing to stop her having...
