    Room available to rent, Dagenham

    My apologies if this is in the wrong section. I have an opportunity for a qualified beauty therapist to rent a room in a lovely new professional salon in Dagenham. Very good rent to include advertising and support to get you started. This would be an amazing opportunity for someone. If...

    Moving to London at 30?

    I'm from East London/Essex and my advice is to save lots of money before you consider a move. It really is ridiculously expensive even where I live (the cheapest bit!). You'll have absolutely no problems finding new friends etc but personally, I would try signing up to a website like Meetup...

    There are usually great deals to be had at the shows but they are not revealed until the day and are not available anywhere else

    How to achieve this look?

    This is a tricky one as it's an effect of marble stone rather than the polish marble effect we're used to seeing. Assuming you're using a gel polish (any brand will be the same technique for this), I would do one or two coats of base colour to get a solid background then before you cure your...

    Which brand are you using? Ellisons offer super fast delivery options you could call them and try your luck.

    Nightmare day in the salon!

    No advice re the lamps but for your bio pots, clear will have a very slight yellow tinge, uv is crystal clear. If still not sure apply it to your own nails using mystery gels as finishing layers, the uv gel won't soak off without that layer being removed. I hope that's helps a bit x

    Is it frowned upon to bowl soak off Shellac with Brisa?

    Your problem may well be with the way you're using your brisa lite. It is designed to work with its own base coat and go in one thin layer (for smoothing gel) underneath your shellac. You'd then go in with your colour and finish with a shellac topcoat. If you do it this way removal will be...

    Need wording for a no texting sign please!

    I totally agree with Noreen, we're providing a service and it's up to us to set the boundaries for our clients as they have busy lives too. Lots of people will sit down at the nail desk and think 'great, I can catch up on emails while I'm sat here' without realising its a problem. Personally I...

    Getting a grant?

    I would start of by talking to your lone parent advisor, they know their stuff when it comes to things like this.

    Getting a grant?

    I think you might need to give a little more information about your situation. In the nicest possible way, everyone would like to be given a grant to start a business/get free training but only a very tiny percentage of people would be eligible for one. It would depend on circumstances, whether...
