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...

Hi all, We are growing in numbers all the time as more and more people want a quick and cheap way into the industry but is it really that easy? Do you feel that there are challenges that are unique to us mobile pros? How well do you feel we are represented? Are we still thought of as...

To go to amazon and order yourself some Derma Shield hand protecting mousse right now! I don't know what this stuff is made of but I've managed for the first time in about 18 months to work without gloves and had no pain, no rashes, no nothing - unbelievable!I usually wear gloves for...

Please can we, as professionals have a discussion that doesn't involve concern over the competitions pricing, whether or not the local competition is in fact NSS, where their staff may or may not originate from and using non pro products on our clients? It is so frustrating to see a gold...

I'm mixing lots of new colours up and am currently storing them in sample pots that my friend gave me from the body shop. I'm setting up a wall display for my additives and I'd love to find some similar pots to store my mixes in (not that I'm at all anal of course) could anyone possibly help me...

I'm currently looking at an almost full diary for the entire month with most clients due to book back in. I'm part time although I work everyday and I'm happy with that for the next year at least, I also want to concentrate on making a transition to being more home based than mobile as its...

I have a lovely new client who has very pinched, misshapen and extremely thick big toenails. I'd really love to help get them sorted for her, there are no other problems as far as I can tell although she says they do tend to go black and fall off with the slightest knock, she has sought medical...

Just wondering how many of us have been on or would go to a nail art workshop. For those who have - what did you get out of it? Do you think it was worthwhile? What did you cover? For those who would like to attend one at some point - what would you hope to gain from it? Are there any...

I know there have been plenty of threads on facebook advertising but I'm struggling to find them and I'm not sure if they directly relate to sponsored stories, these as far as I understand are the ad boxes that appear in your newsfeed and say 'your friend x likes x company' Has anyone used...

I've had a good telling off from fellow geeks for not charging properly for nail art so I'm getting my act together and putting a proper pricing structure in place and stop giving my time and product away.:D I offer a huge amount of nail art hand painted, glitter, foils, 3d, crystals you name...

I'm using shellac for art and have an entire design to do with stripes. Up until now I've just roughed it with a striping brush and tidied up with d'sperse but I need to cut my product use if poss so could really use some tips on how to get these ruler straight. Any ideas?

Hi wonder if you might be able to give me some advice, I've been asked if spray tanning could possibly cover up scars. It's for a young girl going on holiday with her friends but she doesn't want them seeing her scars (not sure where and how severe they are), would a spray tan be the best bet...

For lots of reasons I've recently given up my room in a salon, I left on very good terms with all of my client list intact and am continuing to do mobile work. I would really love to work from home but I'm struggling to know where to start. We live in a 2 bed with 2 children so have no spare...

I'm selling these and have had more interest than I expected - wasn't really expecting to sell any just yet so have no idea what I should be charging. What would you say was a fair price?

I'm seriously struggling with getting my act together when it comes to keeping accounts. I don't ever want to sit with another pile of receipts, a diary and a sinking feeling again! Is there anyone would could possibly send me a template for basic P&L ? I have a folder for receipts, I've set...

I currently just do nails but would like to be able to offer a spa manicure. All I have is one of those cheap plastic manicure bowls but could really do with something a bit more attractive. Does anyone have any inspired ideas?

Wonder if you could let me know what you think before I go ahead and get it put in print and on t shirts etc? Sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes on things... thanks in advance x

I'm seeing this phrase more and more on this site and I've got to be honest, it's driving me a bit crazy - but this isn't a ranting post. I'm really interested in what people think of the over use of this phrase and 'NSS'. More frequently, NSS is being used to describe nail technicians that...

I understand that Business Link no longer offer free courses and have instead put all of the information online for you to trawl through. For lots of reasons this really doesn't work for me and I'm sure it doesn't for others too. So my question for you is do you use a business coach or...

Wondering if anyone can recommend me some pages to 'like'? I'm starting to focus more on the business side of things, marketing, networking, and getting those dreaded accounts in order. Some useful hints and tips appearing in my newsfeed may just keep me on track and help me pick up on things.
