I'm thinking of getting into spray tanning. I did it about 8 yrs ago and tried to introduce it to the Italian market. At the time people (Italians) told me i was wasting my time because Italians drag their a**es when it comes to trying new things. Anyway its becoming popular and i'm trying...

Douse your face with very warm water. It helps soften your whiskers before you shave your beards :lol:

Great, now i feel like an Amoeba :cry: Seriously Craig, thanks for taking the time to post. It's a great read and you definitely have my attention, which is a rare thing nowadays :)

Thanks Craig. These last few years i've really begun to understand how important marketing is in the business world, especially for us little fishes, who need all the help we can get. We've had to do our own marketing and it really is an interesting part of the business and challenging...

I don't know about the UK but here in Italy there are alot of companies who re-label their products. Now the smaller salons seem to be doing the same thing. I can understand the fact that some of these people do alot of research through trial and error to find the right products and don't...

Thanks guys. Soon after i posted i did find some great stuff on youtube and a search engine, and most confirmed what you said regarding selecting the correct foundation colour. Dandelion you'd be amazed regarding Italian women. Nail art and extentions are just satrting to become acceptable in...

Ruth i understand where you're coming from but for the while i only need to know how the foundation colour is chosen. After that it seems to be down to personal choice regarding eye shadow and the rest. Also i'm in Italy and my Italian isnt perfected, so i would probably be unable to understand...

We were there on the friday. I don't think it was as innovative as the UK shows, most of the draw was in the nail section. It was interesting because there alot of companies in various halls that were displaying their products but would only sell to companies via a minimum order purchase. The...

Hi, we are thinking of opening a school here in Italy teaching airbrushing courses. One of the courses i suggested is Airbrushing Makeup. I'm pretty handy with the airbrush as i've been using this tool for 15 yrs and i'm sure i can adapt a system to work with airbrush makeup. I won't be...

Thanks GeeG.

Has anyone used this product. It's a no light Gel or so i've been told. I'm just wondering if it is as durable as UV Gel! Thanks.

I've heard about this also. I wouldn't take it personally, they are dialing randomly. They probably want to mislead people into down loading spyware so they can access your personal information. I feel sorry for the innocent people who fall for these con-men.

Geeg things really have moved on, thanks for the updates. The demand for airbrushing in the beauty field seems to be stepping up here in Italy. Demand is mostly for make up and nail art. Or at least we seem to be getting more requests to teach it. I just did a 2 day nail Gel training...

Hi Geeg, Aztec are still going, however because of their inherent problems they are not as popular as the mainstream airbrushes. The idea behind the Aztec is a good one, with the interchangeable heads and life time guarantee. I had one which I used alongside my other airbrushes until an...

Hi Trace, i posted a comment with some info here http://www.salongeek.com/nail-geek/127886-airbrush-compressor.html We have over 20 Airbrushes in our studio made up of around 8 different manufacturers makes. We use them in our art business, hence the amount we use. It's a very versatile...

Hi Emily there is a wide choice of airbrushes out there and i can understand your confusion. Airbrush First of all you need a double action airbrush as opposed to a single action. The reason is that it gives you better control over the paint. I would recommend these...

I know this sounds repetitive but any service you offer will mean more work for you. I know all the makeup artists at Sky television use airbrush makeup and i'm sure all the other TV and Film companies do the same, so i reckon it's here to stay. Also once you have your airbrush, you can use...

It depends on what you want to offer your clients. Your not just restricted to doing french, you can offer nail art in general with it or even simple colour transitions that still look stunning and all done in a fraction of the time. Also the airbrush in general in the beauty industry is an...
