It's a group that you're invited into on Facebook when you train with Creative Academy Manchester or Bournemouth :) hope this helps x

The only thing I know is that part of my business is a product reviewer and I found the Ojon Color Sustain shampoo to be terrible. It didn't lather very well and was incredibly runny so you had to use a lot of it, not worth the nearly £20 price tag x

I contacted Morrocanoil about stocking their brand but it seems they only want to deal with big salons x

I have the ikea poang chair and footstool with leather cushions. It's more than £100 new but I got mine in excellent condition from ebay for just over x

I'm Karen

Hi geeks So I'm going to take advantage of their 20% discount tomorrow but its my first order of solution since my kit ran out and I'm trying to work out what percentages to get. I want to work cleverly with this. I want to get three bottles I think but was wondering which three. My first...

As a big girl myself I'm always conscious of things like weight limits of furniture and I know when I was buying my bed I never saw any that took less than 30 stone. Hope this helps x

I'm in Widnes. Most colleges do start in September. Widnes (Riverside College) starts about now for Nail Tech but enrolment was September so you've missed it. I do know people that have trained directly with NSI or another brand x

Don't worry about it. I only joined the industry in 2010 and even now I will get a wobbly moment but that's just because you care so much. In time the confidence will increase to the point that if someone has a chipped nail etc I don't automatically assume its me anymore which I used to...

Aww don't be disheartened. Toe nails are very tough so they really shouldn't come off but this has happened twice with me with a certain two people. I put it down to them both having a thin layer of skin on the nail bed. Once they return I just ensured that every scrap was removed (will...

Hmmm... There's nothing to stop you contacting the salon but to be honest if someone contacted me pretty much a week on I'm not sure there would be much I would do - perhaps a gesture of goodwill replacement of the nail but that depends. My tutor that taught me l&p always said to allow 3 - 5...

My cat Henry was my inspiration! x

I generally don't like the thought of any child growing up too fast - even though I don't have any children but I will say I had a lady who paid me for her daughter who was 8 to have shellac applied for her birthday. The little girl was a keen swimmer so it was long lasting but I was happy to...

My thoughts are its a brilliant idea. Just like everything else it's not going to suit every client though. I wouldn't do it as I can barely drive my little c2!! x

That was exactly my thoughts. I totally understand that if you genuinely don't enjoy a service and you can afford to remove it then that's fair enough but to stipulate only facial waxing and no polish for nails too..? x

I rented a room for a year and now work from a log cabin that I had custom built in my garden. Whilst it was being built I worked from an upstairs room and wondered whether to decrease my prices since I now have less overheads and I never did. Not one single person has questioned me at all...

Carmex is brilliant but I think you've answered your own question really. It's easily obtainable online leaving you with very little profit for the ones you do sell. At the end of the day you don't want to end up with dead stock because people can just go and buy this item from Boots...

I worked self employed in a salon for a year and now work from a log cabin in my garden... Pros for home salon: * No rent after initial set up costs * Convenience of being able to carry on your day between clients * Can take last minute appointments by just moving into another room * In my...

I assume you're working as a mobile service? I used the Roo rolls - brilliant idea but I found them awkward to pack in my bag due to the shape and they hold 12 OPI or whatever polishes I think. I've just bought Roos little squarish case that holds 20 (fits OPI) and its even better / would stack...

Yes that's exactly what I was after but everything I found was too officey for me or ridiculously expensive for me to buy two of them Hope you find hat you're looking for x
