    Waxing problems

    I've noticed that this happens more in the winter than any other time of year particularly when it's very cold. Anyone else notice this?

    CND Shellac Xpress5 Top Coat problem?

    Hi all I'm really interested to hear this about xpress 5. I have found my own shellac is lasting far longer on my nails then it ever did with the old top coat. I always found it lifted at the free edge from using acetone but I haven't had any issues since using xpress 5. A lot of my clients who...

    When to start maternity leave?

    Work as long as you feel up to it only you will know what your capable of. I worked up to 38 weeks with a full diary but I had a great pregnancy with no problems so I felt up to it. Take clients at face value when they say the will come back. I lost some of my oldest clients when I took my...

    Vinylux vs other polish?

    Really? I find majority now go for matching fingers & toes because I have the matching color. Before they had to make do with nearest color in another brand. I used OPI before Vinylux & I don't find it wears as well & it dries nowhere near as quick as Vinylux. OPI have a great color range though...

    Shellac melting?

    Fedora is a pain the the a** for wrinkling. If you apply too thinly its streaky & too thick it wrinkles like a prune! I've been using shellac years & I still try to veer clients towards another color. It's really the only one I find has this problem.

    Vinylux vs other polish?

    I love Vinylux! I was really worried when I took it on because so many people seemed to have problems with it. I love how quick it dries & the wearability also that it matches my shellac. I haven't found that the colors have gone gloopy quickly but I do agree the top coat goes thick after a...

    Best gloves for smaller hands?

    Nitrile gloves are the best as they don't make your hands sweat. There are many different brands out there & your local suppliers should carry some. They are a little bit more expensive than latex but they are brilliant when using acetone as well as it doesn't eat through the gloves as quick as...

    Is Kim Lawless training worth doing?

    Like Noreen I travelled over from Ireland a few weeks ago to do Kim's training. I thought I was a competent Hollywood waxer until I saw Kim's way of doing it. I realized I was using far too much wax for a start but that's how I was thought originally. I'd now get a Hollywood done in a less than...

    IBX repair?

    That's interesting I have always put it under shellac as per original instructions. It's only with natural manicure I put it on to fill in peeling or not at all if there is none. Will follow this thread to see what's new.

    What age is your oldest client?

    I had the loveliest lady in a salon I worked in a good few years ago. She was 78 & blind from birth. She used to walk up by herself to the salon door & i would meet her there & bring her up the stairs. She got a manicure(the most amazing nails as well) & her lip & chin done every 4 weeks cause...

    Trying a new system of waxing

    I've never had a problem either with it dragging on the skin & I find it's so handy & quick to use. I've used rollers for years now & would never go back to pot & spatula for legs. Could I just add to get confident with pot & spatula first before moving onto rollers.

    Finally taken the plunge and doing HD brows!

    I have had hd on my mind for the last year. Was just about to book the course & then changed my mind. I decided to go with a Kim lawless course instead. I know most who has done it has said it has been worth their while & it's been good for business but I still cannot justify the price of the...

    What to offer?

    I stopped doing spray tans when we moved house as they are so messy & the over spray went everywhere where we used to live. If I could do them again though I would if I had a proper designated area. I find that I loose some business from people looking to book in for nails & tan if they are...
