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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi hairgeeks, I've just slipped across from skin... I'm thinking of training in hairdressing, so where is best place to train? I know local colleges are doing part time course, but is it possible to train with a private school/college? Which is better? I've tried searching online for Northern...

And if so much compared to the price of a full make up? As it is I charge double what the local salons charge for MU, I have my own studio. I know to a lot of people it is fairly steep but I am kept fairly busy, I could be busier though + offering this would increase the volume of...

Hi geeks - would appreciate it if you could help me in this... I'm a MUA & a retail cosmetics also - I'm always honest with people when they ask me my opinion, they way I look at it, when they buy from me they are getting advice from a professional MUA & that's part of the service...

....not at the loss of money, but because nobody has ever cancelled after a trial with me before :sad: I done her trial about a month ago, & she seemed really, really happy & booked her wedding there & then. I know I was happy with how it turned out, I asked her several times throughout if it...

Hi hair geeks, would just grateful for your input into this, if it would even be possible... I have a make-up studio, just focusing on make-up application, however I was thinking of taking someone in on a Friday & Saturday just to do things like hair curling, up-do's etc so that I could offer...

Hi geeks, I was wondering if you have any advice for me here.... I was doing a make up on Saturday, the client had acne so I never noticed the coldsore until it was too late (it didn't look like a cold sore, it looked like a continuation of the acne & was a fair bit away from her lip - still...

I sprayed a girl yesterday with 16% Sienna X & it looked lovely & even when I was done. Both the girl & her mum got their tans done (but her mum got her's today) & when the mum was in booking I went over in detail the prep & I gave her a leaflet - so I'm quite confident that they prepped fine...

Hey Geeks, was just wondering if you could help me here.... I got my first ever botox treatment on the centre lines of my forehead & between my 2 eyebrows on Monday past, the 5th, so its only the centre of my forehead affected. So far, so good. That Friday I tinted & waxed my eyebrows...

Hey geeks, would be most grateful if you could help me, I've worked myself into a state here... I've been trained in HD Brows since May + I have quite a few regulars coming for them, I charge £25 which is what I was told was the lowest recceomended price. Firstly I done a young client...

Hi geeks, sorry in advance if I should know the answer to this... It never really clicked with me that this was when it started until I was chatting with a client who has the same problem. I have quite an olive skin tone & take a natural tan really well, fake tan used to also come out nice &...

I've rented a wee place & I'm getting it done up, a close friend is doing it for me, he owns a company that does that sort of work - but anyhoo, there has been a few bits that needed work done to the building, such as a hazardous fuse board, no fire alarms etc. My friend has let the landlord...
