If I knew how to do a poll I would do one, but I don't so this will have to do. Since starting with Shelac I have found that I no longer have any L&P clients, I have Shelac and Gelish clients. Once in a blue moon I have a lady break a nail and I find that no matter how thin I make the L&P...

Hi to all, the title says it really. I've nearly finished my make up assessments, and I sat in on the air base tutorial during industrial week. I liked what I tried but I felt the offer wasn't that great, and the products available seemed to be a bit limited. So I've been doing some research and...

I've just been chatting to some friends on face book about the threads on here, about how some people think other people have been rude, at how they have responded to that perceived rudeness and I think I know what part of the problem is. Salon Geek is a world wide site, we have geeks from many...

Five years ago, if anyone had said I'd be looking to do a BTEC beauty course I'd have laughed at them. All I wanted to do was nails, I wasn't really interested in adding gels just l&p with nail art. Then clients started asking if I did tanning and the ones who wanted tanning asked if I did...

Hi geeks, I stoped by the Art deco stand yesterday and really liked what I saw but I'm a touchy feely sort of geek so could I have lots of feed back from Art Deco users please. What you like, what you don't like, do you think it's good value for money, do your clients love it, is it easy to...

I hope this is in the right place, I was reading my latest Scratch mag this morning and came across the artical on page 45, A man's world. My hubby made the following comment. Men do not smell or taste colour, it's green, not apple, yellow not lemon and yes orange is a fruit and a colour but...

Hello to all. I've put this one in nails, only because I couldn't see a class for all. I am currently re-reading Dough Schoon's Nail Structure and Product Chemistry. I would strongly urge all nail techs to read it. It's written in plain English, broken down into bite size chunks and flows well...

Hi all, I am thinking of taking the NVQ level 2 beauty therepy course. It has to be at a collage so that I can get the course paid for by the job center and it has to be around Northampton. So Northampton, Milton Keynes, Coventry, Birmingham, Bedford. I have found a fast track course at Bedford...

My personal oppinion is that if you don't retail you are giving away money that should be yours. So I thought I would throw this one out for all the geeks who do to help all the geeks who don't. Two parts, what do you retail? And, how do you get the customers to buy it. I'll start:lol: Every...

Hi all, I've put this in nails because I'm first and foremost a nail geek, but this applies to all. I was watching some makeup and nail vids from Chantellej18 on utube and she told everyone about a web site she had found for nails and makeup, world wide shipping, at bargain rates very intense...

On Page 20 of this months Scratch mag its all about fruit:lol: for all of you who now think I've lost it...............its true:green: A Lady called Angie Scarr creates miniature slices of fruit to use in dolls houses and some clever person got the idea of using it as nail art. Now I have to...
