Hi guys, its been a while since ive posted or came onto salon geek at all. I am looking for some advice about what to use instead of brisa light smoothing gel now that it has been discontinued. I like it for some clients who need the extra stregth and for myself really as my nails are rubbish...

hi geeks, So I have been self employed for a while but always used the card reader provided in salon and the manager just gave me the money back. Now I have ordered myself one of the mobile card readers from world pay zinc. I am just thinking I would have maybe been better not putting it...

Hello, I am looking at making a website and I have read alot on here that wordpress seems good. I am trying to look into it but there are a few different sites all called the same and I dont know what one is the proper one. Is it the one thats usedfor creating blogs? As ive signed up but im not...

I've seen some of you guys use these. And you can thread them all onto a chain. I know colorpop is a brand and it might not be them but just so you understand. Anyway, I am wondering where I can buy these please? Thank you.

Hello guys I just want to pick your brains about this for a second. I used to use this years ago but stopped because the shade was too dark for me without any fake tan on. So I went on to using Dior sculpt which I have had no problems with. But anytime I use the mac one when I have a bit of tan...

Hello I'm from the beauty side with a question for you hair geeks. My hair is just sooooo tuggy all the time. It's quite fine hair but apparently I have alot of it, it's coloured with highlights but it's in good condition. I use redken shampoo and conditioner on it and I have it cut every 8...

Hi I have just started lashing again and I am finding my stool isn't the best. My back was sore after two sets. I was wondering what you guys use? Where do you get them too? Mines just now is just the gas lift stool with no back. I don't know if I would need one with a back because I don't...

Hi geeks I have just had a phone call from a client complaining that her bikini line isn't straight. I am self employed in a hair salon and she came in yesterday and I had that feeling something would come back from it because she was arguing with me before about bleaching up her eyebrows...

Hello geeks, I have started doing lashes again very recently after doing my taining in October 2010 and then doing about 4 sets and giving up. I dont have my training manual anymore as I left it at the salon I worked at last (stupidly). And whilst I am getting on with the practical side of...

Hi I'm looking for one of those little beauty boxes with all the compartments. I don't need to transport it anywhere I just want to store all my lash stuff in it, as I'm salon based and want to keep it tidy. Does anyone know where I can get a good priced one. I could probably get away with...

Hey geeks, So I have trained in lashes, with Lash Perfect. I think it was in October 2010. My old boss put me through the training although because the salon was so busy I didnt have time to practice and she didnt make time for me. So obviously Im not confident in them at all. However I am...

Hey geeks. So I am qualified in L&P apparently, it was covered in my beauty course at college but it was so basic I haven't ever done them outside of college because there was so much stuff not even covered. Anyway I am looking to invest in either one of these systems at some point in the...

To use during shellac removals and things. I am using the hands down plastic back pads but they are too linty so I'm giving up on them. They are expensive and the lint drives me crazy. I use vinyl ones for my waxing and they get holes in them when they touch acetone. Someone said earlier about...

Hello I know this is going to sound crazy! But I normally arrange my colours the way CND do in the little shellac brochure or in the catalogue. I just got mines there and don't know where to place them as i didnt get any of these with my order today. (i normally pick them up at my nearest sweet...

Hey so when I bought this new set of bulbs one of them was really shaky. As if the glass part was coming away from the plastic setting. But it worked so I kept it. And yesterday I have taken my bulbs out to turn them over and now it won't go back on! I have emailed my centre I got them from so...

Hey geeks :) I went to the doctors today about this mole/mark on my forehead. I went a while ago and she said it wasn't a mole but keep an eye on it and go back if it changed. Well I think it seems to be a wee bit bigger now and I went today. So they've not said whether its a mole or not just...

Hello geekies. Sorry I know this has been asked a million times but I did search and couldn't find specific answers. I am hopefully going I start doing these pedicures and bought the stones to try on my own nails. I use shellac and was wondering how to do it best with Shellac? Should I put...

People keep asking me after a brow wax do I have that powder that takes the redness away. I'm assuming they mean mineral makeup. I don't do makeup at the salon so havent had any to offer. Do any if you geeks do this? Is it really ok for the skin? It seems a nice extra if so. I'm wondering if...

Have any of you guys trained in these and offer them? Or does anyone have any input about the company? I had the rep in last week and she was chatting about this course and it sounds good, I was thinking of booking it maybe in a few months. What is your thoughts?

Has anyone seen this in the new sweet squared catalogue? It looks really lovely and comfy. I think I will get one! I didn't see them in the shop yesterday when I was picking up the new colours and I can't see it on the site so I am not sure when it will be on sale! What do you geeks think...
