Hi guys, I've had a read through other posts and can't see anything that quite answers this... any ideas what on earth has happened to my clients Shellac nails?? (Pic attached) In all my 101 years (it feels like!!) of doing nails, I've never ever had this happen! I've quizzed the client on every...

As the title says, one of my friends is going in for a C-Section next Monday, but the day before that on the Sunday, she's at a Christening and wants a spray tan doing (yep even I laughed at her thought process!!). She asked if it would be harmful for when they open her up on the Monday (having...

A bit of a geeky comment, but as the site has geek in the name, I figured it was perfectly acceptable to come out with a geeky, but honest comment... I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this site, I'd (dare I say it!!) forgotten about Salon Geek for a good six months or so and...

I've a handful of clients who have started having problems with their nails - they're all Shellac wearers, all use their solar oil daily (I'm proud to say, I've drummed this into my ladies!) but they are all having problems with their nails becoming very soft and splitting/breaking...

I'm a make up artist and specialise in Airbase make up. I recently gave a voucher as a raffle prize to a charity function - the prize being to have full make up done. Now the lady who won it has contacted me to say it was actually her daughter who won it and can she book her daughter in on such...

Hi all, I've done a search and not quite found what I'm looking for, so wanted to ask the question. I've a client who is a regular Shellac user and over the past couple of months, her ring finger and little finger nail have both started splitting down the nail on the one side. The nail itself...

Hi guys, Just done a quick search on this and not found too much feedback, but has anyone tried the above tanning solution and what are your thoughts - good and bad please? I've been using Vita Liberata for ages now and love it, but due to them no longer having a rep in my area and the only...

Hi guys... I had this done today and was used as a model for some hairdressers learning to use the product. The trainer was talking to them about the after care products they give their client etc and certain shampoos and conditioners should be avoided. They didn't give me any after care...

Hi, I went to the LCN open day a couple of weeks back and trialled their new Recolution - with its new consistency. Is anyone using this yet? Any thoughts? I didn't like the old version - a bit too rubbery, but the new consistency seemed amazing, would be good to hear any feedback from anyone...

Hi, Just looking for a bit of feedback really and your thoughts - how many of you employ staff in your salon and if so, how do you pay them - as in, are they on a percentage basis or a fixed hourly rate basis? The reason being, I have had my salon open 11 weeks now and as expected, it's...

This isn't really a question as such, more of a "please tell me I'm not the only one"... ... Last week I had a tan go totally wrong (I asked for advice on here, thank you, was very helpful), I've had some probs with my Shellac nails (although think that is an equipment issue rather than me...

Hi all I saw these advertised today and can't work out if I like them or not, but after posting on my salon FB page, it seems a lot of my followers do, so I'm trying to work out how you'd do them. What do you think - they've been done with an OPI polish, but any thoughts on how else this...
