    Too noisy for eyelash extentions in open plan salon?

    Hello All, I've been putting work in to expand my nail business to brow and lash treatments now that I'm salon based. I'm training next week and finalising the new furniture at the moment. I share the salon space with a hairdresser, and it's open plan with no possibility of putting up a wall...

    How often do you count up your small coins?

    So as above really! I hate change. I hate it lying around in my bags, my coats, my couch, my purse and my coin pots. Finally got around to clearing every last little copper coin and useless 5p lying everywhere in my house, bagged it all up in separate sandwich bags... And I have £80 to drag off...

    Opinions on my hair care routine with Olaplex please?

    Morning ladies and gents I was hoping you could look over my hair routine to see if it is effective, or if it's just overkill lol. I've been using Olaplex regularly to repair and maintain condition, but I'm not sure if the products I use alongside it are suitable for the external care of my...

    Is my nail shape pleasing?

    Can I have some critique please on the shape of my nails? This is L&P tip and overlay. I've used cover pink over the whole nail to disguise some over filing damage I have through college work. I can see that I need to work on smoother and neater application/finishing in the cuticle area...

    Lechat Science Color Changing Gel

    Wondering if anyone has used this before and might have any pictures to share? It's supposed to work in a similar way to mood polish, in that it changes color with the temperature. I'm just intrigued really, and interested to see how they look on an actual nail, but can't find any pictures...

    Charging Extra for Layered Shellac

    I haven't seen this question asked before (but it may have been, sorry) so it's an idea I'm exploring. Do any of you charge clients extra for a layered Shellac? I realise that it's still 2 color coats, but rather 1 coat of two different colors instead of 2 of the same color, however, We...

    Would You Date a Client?

    I saw this as a brief discussion on the Nails Magazine website, and thought it might prompt an interesting debate :D So. . would any of you date a client? Why/Why not? I personally think there's a level of unprofessionalism involved- I don't think the salon where you are providing a paid...

    Smaller bottle of CND Scrubfresh needed?

    Hi Geeks, apologies if this comes across as a daft question, however- I purchased my Scrubfresh this afternoon to take along to my Pedicure class, but S2 are out of the smaller sizes so are sending me the large size. I've just realized the large is a whopping 32oz!! It's not really an...
