Has anyone got/tried the Saddle Stool by Beautelle? I have got a permanently achy back caused by leaning over the manicure table all day. I'm hoping to look at the saddle stools at Excel, but wanted the opinion of anyone who has bought one as they are quite expensive to buy. Or has anyone...

I have my re-balance on Tuesday and my models nails all fell off yesterday. I was up until 2 last night revising for the theory and have the house to myself today to finish off the nail trainer nails (I still have 3 sets to do!!). Now I think my brush is clogged :oops: I have lots of grains...

Hiya all, I have been toying with the idea of offering oxygen therapy in the salon but would like a bit of feedback from anyone who has the system or has looked into it. The system I have seen enables you to offer oxygen facials (not sure if I want to go down the facial route) and also...

I have a room within a beauty salon in a small town and do nails and have a sun shower. I'm the only nail tech in my town. I've been going about 2 months at the salon and have been relying on word of mouth for new business and do a bit of advertising in the local press. I had an open day when I...
