do you know if nail technicians need to wear both if I have a protective screen on my nail station?

Hi, I had this happen a couple of times too. One was because of denim jeans and the other was from a newspaper - it's definitely not what you have done

I also have a few clients that ibx isn't working on, and in fact a couple of clients are worse with ibx. I am thinking of offering the treatment free to those clients, as I want to continue using it just to see if it will work, eventually, and I feel bad taking the extra £5 every week. Does...

Morning, I use Pro Linc Be Callus. I get it on ebay. It is a great treatment and very cost effective. You don't need to do a course, so long as you are qualified in pedicures. On my price list I have worded it TREATMENT INTENSIFIERS (Add to any feet service) £8.00 Breaks down calluses in...

Hi jemiimafox if you are getting 'little dots' after applying just to repair you should blot excess after heat and before cure but as Jim has confirmed don't cleanse and carry straight on with your next coat of ibx hope this helps

Yes me too but I haven't been cleansing after that coat - does it make any difference - I really don't know!!! But it definitely doesn't say cleanse after that coat on Famous Names instructions or their own video. Maybe Linda or Jim can confirm this please.

I think this is great but, correct me if I'm wrong, but on the instructions and also on the video it doesn't say to cleanse after you put the ibx repair just on the delamination or splits. I know you cleanse after the first application of repair and obviously after each ibx coats

Hi Laura I rent a small room in a hairdressing salon, in Hertfordshire, and I also have a nail station in the salon - I pay £155 per week inc ,whether I am there or not. I pay my own insurance and am responsible for decorating the room when needed. Hope this is of help.

Hi cleanse after repair (but don't cleanse if you are using repair on second coat on the delaminated or split nails) that is the only time you don't cleanse - I charge £10 for the first treatment and £5 thereafter and if they just want an IBX treatment on its own I charge £12 (with oil, hand...

Me too. Exactly the same views - I bought an infrared lamp from ebay for £9.95 100watt bulb it is absolutely fine (although I think they have sold out) and I also used a hairdryer for the first two days before I received the lamp - my clients were fully acceptable of it and quite excited that...

I'm not sure if it will work - but I have a client with a split down her thumbnail and I kept wrapping it without any joy then I decided to cut it as short as I could and put on a false tip with fibreglass over it and the split grew out - maybe it's worth a try, and then at this stage you could...

Just a thought has she been applying self tan??

Hi you're doing just fine!! I use Jessica and my luxury manicure I've named 'Ultimate Jessica Manicure' and my luxury Jessica pedicure is Jessica Zen Spa Luxury Pedicure and I also have an Ultimate Deluxe Treatment. Hope this is of help

I definitely wouldn't put gels on your friend. I think she could have a gentle manicure but be very careful as she could get an infection. Does she suffer from skin psoriasis, by any chance, or psoriatic arthritis? I just looked up on the internet psoriasis of the nails, maybe you should have...

It looks to me like psoriasis ( in which case there's nothing much that can be done , unfortunately) but I would suggest that she goes to her doctor for a proper diagnosis. In fact I'm surprised that she hasn't seeked medical advice.

That is very encouraging, Angie, I also use shellac, gelish, Jessica geleration and a few others - let's hope we all get good results within a few weeks!! Lots of luck!!

I had two clients return today after two weeks with gels on, who both had ibx treatment underneath their gels. I was so upset that both clients gels were badly chipped - I told them that they should give it a chance to work as it is early days but I am dreading the fact that they will not last...

Hi no I wouldn't use ibx repair if the nail had no delamination or splits at that moment - just use ibx (if it's the first time ibx for 5 mins then a second application for 3 mins) on the second treatment just ibx 3 mins
