You don't dry the IBX, the heat source (infrared lamp or other heat source) ensures that the product penetrates the nail plate (think of butter melting into toast), before curing the product with UV lamp. An air drying lamp will not work. Cleanser (e.g. CND Scrubfresh) is what you would use...

Realise I didn't use quote/reply function properly! Hope you can see my answers OK though!

You could be honest and say that you are not continuing with holistic treatments anymore, or alternatively you could suggest an earlier start time (if that's possible). I would just be honest about it and she will have to find someone else! You could even make a suggestion of a local massage...

I think honestly if you feel that put off by feet you shouldn't feel pressured into doing them. I am a pedicurist and many of my clients apologise for the state of their feet before I start, so there is often already a sense of embarrassment. Feet are quite a private part of the body and we are...

Most of my pedicures are dry, and this does not change the effectiveness. personally, I prefer the result from dry. My service list shows the three different pedicures I offer: Classic, Luxury Spa and Complete Pedicure, and a description for each. The only one that includes a foot bath is the...

I am telling them one by one, and all of them so far have agreed that I have been too generous! This makes me feel better. New clients have not received my business card as I haven't yet re-printed (without loyalty scheme), but I'll give them new ones ASAP. I feel so much better now that I've...

Sorry to hear you have been ill :-( and hope you are feeling better? When I read your post, I was happy to see that I am not the only one who was as generous as this! I also started a loyalty scheme giving 50% off every 5th treatment about a year ago, and now regret it. My clients appreciate...

Personally I don't, only on feet but I'm trained. I never use it on the hands.

Hi Jemmabeauty, curious to know how it went when you changed your loyalty programme?

I've been using this one for years and it's perfect! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Daylight-Twist-Portable-Lamp-White/dp/B00OA52XLU

I have used Callus Peel and currently Mavex Calluspeeling, both excellent products and you don't have to train to use them. In February I bought the Footlogix metal footfile and callus softener (spray) and together this combo gives great results. Footfile is robust, light very effective and...

Hi, it was most likely a Solis www.solis.com

Implement the change of price from January 2017, put it on your FB / Instagram page or any other marketing tools you use, and drop it in when you see any clients. Go for it and don't feel awkward about it - you deserve to be paid for your time x

Aftercare is essential for cracked heels, especially after a pedicure if you have removed hard skin. Recommend or retail a heel balm with high urea content (25%) something like CCS is great. Client should buff feet not more than once a week to avoid splitting.

I would recommend the following: - Mavex Callus Peeling treatment - for amazing results - Encourage her to book for follow-up appt - Advise your client to buff her feet gently once a week - not more, with a pumice or good quality foot file - Retail her or advise her where to get an excellent...

There you go - Patina Buckle [emoji7]

Patina Buckle is my most popular colour this autumn. I absolutely love it though, so doesn't take much convincing! Brick Knit gorgeous too.

I do it, no problem. Just get an orangewood stick and a bit of kitchen roll or wipe, and very gently remove. It is not always pleasant but my service would feel incomplete if I left it. If there's something too far down, I explain to client that I wont go foraging around too deep and leave it...
