    Hair is breaking off!

    I have noticed awhile back my hair was breaking off underneath.. So I just figured the low ponytails I wear were too tight. I stopped wearing ponytails so much and have always had the ponytail holders with no metal. I use Redken Shampoo & Conditioner and switch on and off to U-Smooth shampoo &...

    Free salon app?

    Burning/hurting while using e-file

    I never use a drill on the natural nails, whether it be when I am prepping for a full set or for a fill. I have a fairly new client who has, in the past, got her nails done at "chop shops". Today when she came in, we were going to soak off for a new set.. So I was drilling the acrylic a bit, to...

    I am usually very good about finding stuff online, especially when it comes to nail related items.. But I can't, for the life of me, find these little gold shotguns. I have a client requesting them.. Anyone have any suggestions? I have already searched eBay and Etsy too..

    Mixing color & bleach together?

    Awhile back I read in a BTC magazine that If you want perfectly toned highlights .. Mix bleach and hair color. Can't remember what the exact ratio was, and I think they said a level 7. I know you don't have to use a level 7 but I've only been doing hair a few years and have never purposely...

    CND additives-worth the money?

    Don't get me wrong, I've watched tons of videos on the additives and they look amazing but can't you get the same or similar effects with eyeshadow? And their new twinkle collection looks beautiful but I'm wondering if its anything more than fine glitters?

    Dry scalp?

    I've had a lot of clients complain about dry scalp now since the weather is changing. I think I was once to to use SeaBreeze but is that effective?

    Hair color remover for skin?

    Normally we just use rubbing alcohol or a bit of germ-x on those little areas on the face that color won't come off of.. But when you have those super dark colors that just don't want to seem to come off, what is the best color remover for skin? I've seen a bunch in stores but I know some dont...

    Hair color filler, can't remember brand

    So back when I was in beauty school my instructor once used this bottle of filler when we were taking this girl from platinum to med. brown .. It was a silver or gray bottle with a pump. I want to say it was called something "gold" but can't remember the brand. Just wondering if anyone knows...

    Brighten up blonde?

    I use Matrix ULPA and just a dab of ULPN mixed with double 40 vol. I have been doing my hair this way for about 3 yrs. Recently put a few lowlights of Redken 7GG. Love it. But the ends of my blonde look like they need brightened up. They are starting to look dull.. Should I just use some purple...

    Shiny top coat that won't stain?

    I do all the girls' nails in our shop.. But with all the hair colors that they do, their top coat usually gets stained. I'm currently using IBD gel top coat. I have tried just using a brush on nail glue as the top coat.. And it works. Doesn't stain AT ALL but it doesn't leave the nails as shiny...

    How do you lock up your nail products?

    Just curious how you girls lock up your nail products at work. I love the girls at work and I trust them 120% but I have thousands invested in my nail products. I'm currently using a big craftsman tool box that locks. But I'm interested if you guys use anything different that could look a bit...

    Electric nail file repair...

    Where can I send my nail file to be repaired? I got it off of thenailsuperstore.com and I called and told the lady I couldn't remember if I sent in my warranty card. She said okay and told me what to do and do. I did what she said but they sent me an email with instructions and in those it said...

    Glam & Glits Ink Gel Polish ?

    I saw this at one of the nail supply stores I shop at. I am currently using Shellac by CND and I am happy with it but truthfully I feel like I am just paying for the brand. It's nice but it doesn't blow me away. It's staying power is awesome but the colors bore me. Has anyone tried "Ink" by Glam...

    Designs with Shellac?

    I've been doing shellac for awhile now but all I've done is the plain colors, layering different colors or putting a loose glitter on top. Can you do designs with these? If so.. Can I use regular acrylic paint (like I do with acrylics) or do I have to use the shellac?

    Doing a "fill" on cheap nails you didn't apply?

    I am the only nail tech at my salon. The thing is, we have a lot of cheap salons around us.. Well girls will call and schedule a "fill" and since I'm so busy I don't always get to take the calls. So these girls will come in for their appointment with nails half on or nails that are extremely...

    Good, reasonably priced e-file?

    A couple years back I bought like a cheap $60 e-file off eBay.. I was just starting to learn and it has actually done me well but it's on it's death bed and I'm needing something new. I'm very interested in Kupa's but they are too expensive. I'm looking for something no more than $150. Around...
