Hi, my original reply was in 2007. I'm afraid I no longer have my case studies. Thanks.

Yours isn't the only salon doing this. I just posted in the consumer forum (as although i've maintained my CPD i no longer actively work in the industry) and i've been to two salons now, neither of which dehydrated or cleansed my nails before application but buffed the nail instead with a 180...

Hi All, I used to be a therapist but haven't done so for a couple of years so count myself as a consumer nowadays. I've recently found the world of Shellac and, as a lover of CND products, I was really glad to find something that didn't harm the natural nail. I've still got my CND website...

Hi Guys, I wonder if anyone can help. I've just had my first session in an Infrared Sauna at a local salon, and i've just got home and seen that me back looks red and burnt.... but as far as i was aware i didn't think I could get burnt... the salon is closed now, and i'm a little concerned (...

I used to use Lycon, and then after my training with Kim switched to Perron Rigot. I wasn't impressed with the service I got from Strip Distribution. My products all turned up taped together with brown tape, which left a residue on all the bottles that i can't get off, so the bottles look...

Happy birthday kim!!!!! Hope you're having a fabulous day!!

Hi Hayley, Have you looked in the local newspaper? I know I've seen a few rooms for rent in our local Gazette so I didn't know if you had tried that at all?

Marion, Oh my goodness you poor thing. :hug: Well first of all get yourself back to the people who did the waxing as it sounds as if they need to learn a few things... weeping wounds is not good at all, and any soreness (and i stress ANY) should die down after a few hours..... As it's...

I am quite surprised at this thread has have replied to your PM's on two separate occasions Hayley confirming that I can be a guinea pig for you. Unfortunately, it is too late for the bio sculptures as I am now doing a massage course and therefore cannot have any nail enhancements, but I will be...

I work in London during the day full time, and i have a spare bedroom set up as a beauty room where i do treatments in the evenings and weekends. Works well as I don't have to worry about going anywhere and can get a cup of tea or some dinner inbetween clients!

This is fabulous! thanks everyone for your replies! Kim: she says that she doesn't as have asked her on a few occasions but as with any client, you never really know for sure. As for the feedback from Gill and Lori - this really is fab. I will suggest possible use of a barrier cream to her and...

hi all, yep, she leaves it at least 24 hours after waxing, and has been having her biking line waxed with me for last 3 years and has learnt not to shave. The ingrowns are on her mons, so could be irritated by clothes and undewear. Have previously given her an ingrown terminator moisturiser...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. One of my regulars for bikini waxing started swimming about six months ago and immediately there was about 60% increase in the number of ingrown hairs that she got. She stopped swimming, and the ingrowns went back down to minimal levels (she's prone to...

You'll get your letter next year as you didn't start your self employment until this tax year, and the ads at the moment are relating to next tax year. You should get your letter and tax form anytime from about july to september 2009. HTH's

How very unusual. I haven't heard of this happening before. The spa I worked for used Fake Bake and a few of the therapists used Fake Bake Dark and it was absolutely fine. Could it just have been a problem with that batch? Have you spoken with the distributors? I wouldn't shy away from Fake...

As with everyone else, I would highly recommend Kim's training, but I would also recommend getting a professional waxing qualification and a little experience behind you first before delving into the world of intimate waxing. xx

Have pm'd you both! you're both stars - ta very muchly!!

Hi guys and gals, Well, both my Babyliss dual wax heaters have to go back to be fixed as the thermostats are a tad broken, and the lovely people there have told me that it will be at least 21 days to get them back - which is leaving me in a smidge of a predicament to heat wax!! Does anyone...

As someone stuck in a day job at the moment which she quite dislikes, i've been playing with the fantasy of buying a salon ready established to run and earn a living from. Unfortunately, I have no capital behind me at all, and no real business experience part from a little management and beauty...

In addition to Kims reply, I find that I myself and my clients suffer from less ingrown hairs with non strip wax than with strip wax. Somthing to do with less trauma to the skin as non strip wax doesn't stick to the skin, just the hair as far as I am aware. But as Kim said, definately pro's...
