    No make up for over a month

    My skin looks amazing! I just wish the tones/pigment was even as honestly I wouldn’t bother wearing again if it was.

    Lighter make up?

    I use the lightest clarins foundation shade. I have very, very pale skin. I also find it lasts all day so I can warrant the price tag (although its maybe only a few more £'s than a drugstore one?!)

    What grinds your gears?

    Around our area there is quite alot of single track roads with passing places, I have my wing mirror knocked off and been forced of the road too many times from people who don't slow down to either pull in or let you pull in, they then try and shout at you for driving too fast. You soon learn...

    Try everything first! Talk to the experts from the brands and see if you like the sound of any. Tell them what your looking for out of your skin care routine.

    Newbie needs advice

    Generally your best to get a college course, then your qualified as NVQ standard, which is what a salon would be looking for. However nail techs and similar can be built from lots of courses like L&p and such like being added onto manicure and pedicure certificates.

    Going by my sister who is 13, she probably wants one herself. I have spray tanned my sister before and her friends (which I can appreciate is a bit different from an actual paying client) they love it and your unlikely to have any problems. Things to look out for are acne or problematic skin and...

    We all had to start somewhere...... salon experience when qualified!

    I wish colleges would provide "placements" as essential for training, I really don't believe that you are salon ready straight from education. Even if your skills are good enough chances are your confidence isn't. That said when I came from college I couldn't even get interviews in salons as...

    Not getting the customers for facials

    Why not offer a discounted facial along with another treatment like a massage or something similar...might get people trying the facials. I personally love facials and especially Dermalogica but that said if I've only got £20 to spend on a beauty treatment I'm more likely to forego a facial I'm...

    Let's see your tan!

    When you have paler skin and want to go dark dark, the best thing you can do is keep applying regularly I'd suggest once a week alternating with say a 10% and a 12% , your less likely to go orange that way and you can really stay on top of the fade off. Remember to exfoliate between applications...
