    Critique Critique gel nails

    I totally agree with Trinity. You definitely cannot learn these skills online. Having done some online courses myself I speak from experience. Though going back to your nails. The cuticles definitely need some work. They are overgrown and from a glance it makes the manicure look at least a week...

    Work Showcase Eyelash extensions, feedback please

    I totally agree with all of the above. I think they look great for a beginner. Each lash should have a lash attached on a full set, even the inner corners. You can change your lash length and thickness to suit the lash you are working with. Make sure you are working with the right glue for your...

    First sets, how long does it or did it take you?

    Don't be too hard on your timings. It will come and get lower. Being organised saved the most time. Having your nail station prepared and ready saves time. Also talk to the nails. Every time you lift your head to speak to your client you lose seconds. This soon adds up! You will get there xxx

    Brow lamination help

    I have trained with Hive products and they state strictly no water as well. I don't think I like the brand though and would love someone to recommend another decent brand x

    Looking for advice

    It is really tough getting experience when you are just starting out. A couple of things that might help is asking any local salons if they need someone to help on a voluntary basis. It is a busy time of year for salons and I am sure you would be able to find some that could do with someone to...

    Advice on pricing for a beginner

    The first two sets are fabulous. I would not think that they were from someone who has only jusy qualified so well done! I would say that you need to charge what you are worth from the off. It is very difficult to drop the prices back down once you have sold fr cheap. By all means put on a...

    Lash lift/brow lamination?

    I am using Hive and I find it is great with lash lifting but not so impressed with the brow lifts I have done. Maybe I am not leaving it long enough though as I am newly trained in brow lamination x

    Work Showcase Lash lift and brow lamination

    Look at those lashes! They look amazing well done. Just a quick question about the brows. Did you just tint them or is that henna filling in the gaps or a pencil? x

    Skinbase microdermabrasion

    I had Skin base Pay as you go in my salon back in 2012. I didn't find it very popular where I was but I was in a little mining village. The few people that did have it only had a few treatments and then it fizzled out. I will say that Skin base themselves were spot on. The training is very good...

    Eyelash extension help

    Practice heads are a nightmare, the glue doesn't attach to the lashes properly and they are not spaced like natural lashes. They also don't account for the different eye shapes etc. I would highly recommend a practical course but don't be too hard on yourself. I have just done a set on my...

    Eyelash glue storage

    So I have been doing a little work on my mapping and decided to have a little play this evening. I am so glad I did as when I opened my glue it was thick and blobby. I have a couple of clients tomorrow so will rush out and buy more. I have been looking online at storage and it says I should be...
