Hi geeks, I have a client booked in tomorrow for a Hollywood wax, her regular waxer has gone off to have a baby and the new lady who took over apparently isn't very good. So anyway, I have very little experience doing Hollywoods, so I'm a bit worried about removing hair from the labia. I'm...

Evening geeks, hope you're all well :) I have pamper night booked on Tuesday night for a youth group of ten 15-18 year olds. I gave the group leader a few different options and they chose to have 1 mini treatment each and a group make up lesson. The treatments that are confirmed are, 3 mini...

Evening all, I'm asking on behalf of a friend who wants to train in hair extensions. Can anyone recommend a reputable training company in Northern Ireland please? Thanks in advance xx

So geeks, here we are, the day that has been predicted by the Mayan calendar as the end of our world. Apparently at 11.11am the apocalypse will begin, so I want to know if Armageddon was really upon us what the last thing you would want to do would be? Would it be to say goodbye to your loved...

Hi guys, I'm just in the process of getting my machine and wondered if all of you who use the Skinbase system could tell me how much you charge for your basic and luxury facials and what you include in each please? I know obviously different areas and set ups have different prices, etc but a...

Hi geeks, I've been having one of those annoying lightbulb evenings where my mind is working ten to the dozen and I'm contemplating the logistics of opening a day spa. I'm a beauty therapist, I've only worked in salons, never a spa. I don't mind if I have to endure the hard task of visiting lots...

Evening geeks, Well this is a new one for me, I've been confidently waxing for 8 years and eyebrow waxing is my favourite area. I've never had any complaints or hurt anyone so I'm not happy about this. Had a regular tell me this evening that after her last appointment the skin on her brow area...

Afternoon all, I've searched and found lots of helpful information but it would be great if any of you geeks who are working from garden treatment rooms (log cabins, summer houses, garden offices,) could recommend companies to use for supplying them. I understand that slating companies is...

Well geeks it's that time of year again, the kids are back to school, seasons are changing ( although here in Northern Ireland we seem to have skipped Summer lol) So, inspired by a thread started last year by hippy chick, what new training courses are you embarking on this year? For me, I've...

Hi all, I've just had an email from the supplier that I've bought tanning solution off to say that it won't be here til next tuesday, so I'm going to the wholesalers to get some solution for the mean time. I'm planning on getting a bottle of crazy angel or white to brown, can anyone who uses...

Afternoon geeks, I've been working from my home salon (my spare room) for a year now and really need more space so I'm hoping to convert my detached garage. I spoke to the local planning department and building control today and after several very unhelpful people it was established that I will...

Hi all, as the title implies I want to buy NSI products, but the delivery charges to Northern Ireland from the NSI website are expensive, so I'm wondering if there are any wholesalers or suppliers that I could buy from with less expensive p&p? I'm just rediscovering my passion for nails so I...

Morning all, I'm just sat thinking about a few make ups I have coming up. I had a trial with a lady yesterday and we used a certain lipstick which is quite a distinctive colour so not sure she would be able to get a match with a different brand. So it had me wondering how i could give her a...

Morning geeks, I sprayed my sister in law last night, she was really nervous as it was her first time having a spray tan. I sprayed her with Nouvatan, using my usual technique, standing my usual distance away and made sure everywhere was covered. The guide colour was perfect, although she held...

Evening all, I've never posted in the nail forum before, so I'm looking forward to getting to know you lot :) Anyway, I'm doing my Gelish training tomorrow and I haven't bought any kit yet. I was wondering how many colours would be the minimum that I could have, as obviously I want all of them...

Morning all, I wonder if any of you experienced geeks could tell me what your top 3 make up products are? I am currently trying to build my professional make up kit back up again after taking a break for a few years and with so many new products on the market I don't want to waste my money. So...

Evening geeks, after a but of reassurance really, just had a regular come to me for a spray tan and after she undressed and I came back into the room I discovered she was quite badly sunburnt on her shoulders, neck, face and top of her back and terribly on her feet, to the point where the skin...

Hi all, Have any of you heard of Noiren K Carrigg? Or have any of you trained with her? Apparently she is a big name in the industry and can do a full leg and bikini wax in 8 mins... Would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about her courses as there's one this weekend and I'm...

Hello geeks, hope you all had a lovely Easter :) Basically I have just set up my home salon and want to bring in an inch loss wrap, I have used universal contour wraps for years so I have enquired about all the set up costs. While searching old threads on here I came across bio slimming. I have...
