    Peely, bendy nails!! I have your solution!

    Hey geeks. Just thought I'd share this with you. I used to have horrible peely, bendy nails that never grew as they would end up peeling so bad before they had the chance.

    Feeling disillusioned about home salon

    Hello Geeks, Well I've had my home salon since April this year and to be honest with you? I'm not enjoying it and feeling very disillusioned. I am getting clients, I went full out in the beginning with advertising, etc, and have some good word of mouth clients, and have already established...

    Why is my steamer alarming?

    Was doing a facial the other day when to my horror, it started making the most horrendous loud beep sound and stopped working. Has this happened to anyone else before and is it easy to fix? I bought it ages ago whilst training and cannot remember where I bought it from. Thanks. :)

    Breakouts around hairline but mega dry nose?

    Hey Geeks, I'm a skin geek myself and am ashamed to say I'm perplexed by my own skin. I'm assuming it's hormones, as skins not been this bad since my teenage years and as I've recently got the coil I've put 2 and 2 together, but I don't know what to do about it. I use a combination skin...

    Anybody else doubt themselves? Aftermath of first day of treatments.

    As the title suggests, I was just wondering if anybody else ever did and whether the feeling fades? I had my first 4 clients today, all booked in today.

    Did I do the right thing, ignoring the call?

    Hello, I just had a call to my business mobile, today on a Sunday, at 0745 in the morning. I ignored it as I've just woken up and had my baby in my arms. Should I have answered it? I launched my business a week ago and have been trying to make an impression across twitter and had my first...
