    So upset: cease and desist settlement demand!

    So sorry to hear that you've found yourself in this situation but thank you so much for posting - I was not aware of this and have today updated my website with pictures I've just bought from Dreamstime and removed any pictures where I was not sure about the legalities of using them.

    Ruby Ritz & Tinsel Toast - make them permanent fixtures please CND!

    I agree, especially Ruby Ritz - Mine has nearly gone and everyone has raved about it! Would love more glitters in different colours, agree about silver, pink and purple - or even black! Like the multicoloured idea too

    Shellac colour advice please?

    Dark Lava is gorgeous but I think is more of an auberginey brown. Red Baroness is a lovely red with a bit of a shimmer. Masquerade has also got a slight shimmer. I find all of these popular.

    Clients: weird/rude things they have said and strange request

    I've been asked to hold/cuddle babies to stop them crying (I do love babies though!!) while nails dry/are in the UV machine. One client once asked me to pick her up from a local shopping centre...I was at home and she text to say she'd missed her bus. She was not due in for an appointment...

    Client hates UV lamps

    Does she have any other condition e.g. arthritis? A couple of my older ladies who have mild arthritis find that keeping their hand still in the lamp, particularly towards the end of the process (e.g. after their hand has been in and out a few times!) causes them to feel stiffness in their...

    Only Salon Geeks will understand

    I agree November has been a funny month, and I've had a few very regular and loyal clients who've cancelled appointments due to them being short of money. They've booked in just before Christmas for their Christmas nails etc but this has left me without these regulars in November. Maybe...

    My most popular colours this time of year are Masquerade, Dark Lava, Rubble, Midnight Swim and Red Baroness. The new Christmas duo red has been really popular too.

    Entity One Colour Coutour?

    I am really pleased with my pro gel - both the colours and the longevity. I offer it alongside Shellac (and my existing Gelicure which I think I will gradually phase out, although the glitters are still popular) I think as Shellac and pro gel are different products (power polish vs gel) and...

    Mobile therapist setting up - what's popular?

    Hi, I am home based and also do some mobile work. Just wanted to add to the very thorough advise above....as mentioned I guess to some degree it depends where you live. I live in a largish town near Leeds and my most popular treatments by far are Shellac/Gelicure and waxing followed by...

    Shellac help?

    Hi, When you say the Shellac only lasts a week, what happens to it? Does it chip? I've found that Shellac lasts for ages on clients with strong natural nails, but if a client has weaker, flaky or more brittle nails then they will need to have it re-done more frequently. Also, does she do...

    Gelicure

    Maybe it is my prep on myself then....My clients haven't mentioned it but I find I can't wear it on myself anymore!! I don't seem to have any problems with Shellac on myself though? Very confusing!!! I have used normal acetone to remove Gelicure and it is possible but much easier with their...

    A lot of business from natural nails?

    Hi, I also wondered about the same things when I was setting up. As someone has already said, I suppose it depends on your area. I am level 2 general beauty therapy trained and do shellac and gelicure as well. I work mainly from home and do a small amount of mobile. I am working part...

    Entity One Colour Coutour?

    I've just ordered my pro-gel and am waiting for it to arrive! The colours look great and I struggled to choose 8 for the offer. What colours do people find are their most popular?

    Gelicure

    Hi, I am also having a problem with chipping, or finding that after a few days the product just peels off. I have never had this before (in the past it has always been difficult to take off!) I know I am not doing anything different (shaking bottles, applying base really thinly) so I am...

    Phone call from the police

    I had a similar call the other day, but the guy was offering me the chance to advertise in the police magazine which would be sent out to the community to assist with anti social behaviour. When I said I was busy enough and wasn't looking to advertise he just hung up immediately. When the...

    Are clients better behaved at a home salon?

    I also have a home salon, and do a small amount of mobile work...the ladies who I go to mobile have been clients for a while and are lovely and respectful. Again the same goes for those that come to my house. The only problem I have with the occasional client at home is that they want to...

    How are you all really finding semi-permanent mascara!

    I trained in Myscara in October last year, and it was very slow to start and I worried I would not re-coup my costs. I also had ups and downs with the product while I was getting used to it. This year however I have become more confident with the product and am producing a much better final...
