Well my other half and I have had yet another disagreement about me having male clients. He says they must all surely be perverts and weirdos. I have a few loyal regular male clients who mostly have deep tissue massage and obviously it's all above board but he just can't see it, I don't know...

I'm level 3 Swedish massage trained and am considering specific pregnancy massage course but I can only find one day courses. Is this really sufficient to give a good safe treatment?

Hey, I read about this treatment today (apologies if I'm a bit behind the times!) And just wondered if anyone had tried it or trained in it? I really like the sound of it and am hoping to book in for a treatment so just wanted reviews on how effective it is and how good/expensive the training...

Hello Peeps I don't know if anyone can help me with this or not but here goes. I've just ordered the sample kit of Fusion and after a little play I'm quite impressed. I'm planning on ordering more but just wondered if anyone has any pictures of the Ivory Natural powder, I'd just like to know how...

Hiya, has anyone ordered any of the Love in Bloom collection since they were brought back in to stock? Been putting off buying them as there seemed to be problems with the consistency so I wondered if anyone knows if the new stock is ok?

I feel so bad :-( one of my gelish clients has her thumbs built up with l&p before her Gelish as they both split and break really low down. She's just messaged me to say one has come off and it's green underneath. I haven't looked yet but I'm guessing it's a greenie caused by the acrylic...

I had a client in today who wanted Gelish over existing acrylics. She asked for good gossip then decided she wanted gold glitter on the tips to make them more 'blingy'. I tried to persuade her to have a red glitter fade instead to make them more sparkly but she insisted so I did it. In my...

Hey, I've been using the disposable foot files from Beauty Select (the Callus Peel ones) for my regular pedicures for quite a long time now and absolutely love them, they're the best I've used, removing hard skin very effectively and I love the fact they're disposable. However at the moment due...

Help! I think I may have developed an allergy to Gelish :( I've just taken mine off today and I've got signs of onycholosis. This has never happened to me before. I'm absolutely gutted. I've called Nail Harmony and was lucky enough to speak to Georgie who explained how it could have happened and...

Hi, I'm hoping for some advice from all you Eve Taylor geeks, I've recently trained in facials and am using Eve Taylor in the salon where I work so I thought I'd test out the products for myself so I could genuinely recommend them. My skin type is 'normal' occasionally dry and dull looking. I...

I was just lying in bed last night thinking about the nails I'd done on myself yesterday which I and wondering... I've never really got the hang of l&p, partly due to lack of willing models, partly due to not great training (which I'm hoping to rectify some time this year). I also think I don't...

Hey geeks! I need a new 36w UV lamp and I'm thinking of purchasing the CND one for the 5 finger cure, I just wanted to know if there are any more 5 finger cure lamps out there for comparison as I'm struggling in my search! I don't use Shellac so don't necessarily need the CND lamp.

Hey geeks :) Just after a bit of massage advice. I'm currently qualified at VTCT level 3 Swedish massage (I also do Indian Head, Reflexology, Hot stones amongst other things) and am looking to increase my skills with some CPD courses. I'm getting asked for a lot of deep tissue massages and would...

So a couple of months ago I broke my big toenail and repaired it with a thin layer of acrylic, all was ok. About a month ago I put some gelish on. When I took it off yesterday I found a big bruise on my nail. Well the original break had almost grown out so I decided to take the acrylic off. Big...

Hey, if anyone has time please have a look at my glitter tips and rate :) I feel like I'm getting the hang of things but would appreciate any constructive feedback. These are kept short for work (and done on myself so my right hand might be a bit iffy :o). Thank you!

Hey peeps, last night I had a Gelish client in, she pulled out of her bag a lovely picture of a glitter fade effect that she liked the look of. I was honest and said I'd never done it before but I'd have a try. I'd watched a Fingernail Fixer video where she made a paste with the glitter so I...

I had a client in today for a mani & pedi, she wanted French polish for both. This immediately makes my heart sink because it's just not a strong point of mine! Well her toes went fine, but when it came to her hands I just turned into a complete cabbage! I had to get my boss to come and do it...

Hey geeks, I'm wanting to add more beauty treatments to my repertoire and have got a lot of things in mind (I'm thinking long term plans!). I've searched through lots of threads and can't seem to find what I'm after. Does anyone know what qualifications you need before you can do training in...

Hey Geeks, I'm currently looking into what I'm going to do for my next course, I like to keep learning as I've only been in the industry a couple of years and feel there's so much more I'd like to do, BUT after investing heavily in my nail technician training over the last year I now need to...

I am thinking of taking up lash extension training some time in the near future but can't decide whether to go with the training from the supplier (one day course + 5 case studies) or to do the C&G training that my local college is offering (12 week evening course). I know I'll have to go on to...
