    Client's weird comment

    I had the worst client of my career this week. It was a walk in haircut for a 40 something man within minutes of starting his cut he looked at me and whispered "does the carpet match the drapes or is there no carpet?" I smiled and said lets keep the conversation about your haircut, he then said...

    Pet hates

    What I cannot handle.... Our front desk! They are wonderful people who know NOTHING about what we do and are unwilling to learn. Today I had a full book, with a 25 minute gap (my lunch, work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week). They decided instead of asking if I could take another client, they...

    Brazilian Wax - PLEASE Help!

    It takes a mistake to learn a lesson. I actually bruised a friend when I first started, which has made me paranoid about always supporting the skin. I also always apply down, strech the bottom while my client holds her upper labia to and remove up. I also always make my clients wear gloves. The...

    Brazilian Wax - PLEASE Help!

    Ive been doing brazilians for 4 years, I personally would never place wax (or pull) from the side how you did, the reason why is because that skin is so delicate and there is almost no way to properly support the skin to prevent excessive stress on that area. In my trainings I was taught most...

    OPI came off in rubber glove !!

    I think my point may have been mistaken. I was not suggesting avoiding aftercare, I was making a point that using gloves and using bleach do not harm shellac. Between nursing school, my salon job and working for a nursing home my aftercare is far from consistant. However I am an almond.lotion...
