Millennium have just brought out well-less tips. Just wanted to say I've tried them and they are really great and easy to use. I tried the natural tips, but they also come in french white too and have a beautiful smile line. Under £** a box of 400 too! I was really impressed, and...

Hi Hair Geeks I'm in a bit of a difficult situation. My sister in law colours my hair - she is a hairdresser. I used to have my hair dyed blonde, but as you can see by my aviator, I'm now dark brown. My normal hair colour is mid brown. I've asked her if its possible for me to have some red...

I'm looking into doing a course in Lash Perming. I've had a few queries about it recently. I just wondered if it was possible to tint and perm at the same time, and in what order you do it. Is it a popular treatment? Thanks for your help guys. :Love:

I was just reading another thread about different types or wax, and it got me wondering, do you prefer to use paper or fabric strips? Most of my clients think that fabric is less painful, and hence that would be my choice. I also prefer fabric to work with. Just curious?

I just wondered how you mobile techs manage with your evening appointments. It seems, at the moment, that all of my evenings are being taken up with clients. Many people who can afford up keep of their nails, work full time, and obviously have to have their appointments after working hours...

Hi I wonder if any of you St Tropez users could help me out? I have a client coming to me next week who has always had spray tans with St Tropez. I use Tantrick. She has decided she wants to give Tantrick a go. I wondered what the deal was with St Tropez. Are there varying strengths that...

I know there have been various threads about nut allergies and how this could possibly affect us as nail techs using cuticle oil. Well, I had a client today who informed me that she was allergic to solar oil. Apparently, she had her nails done in a salon a few months ago, and after having the...

I know a few of you read a thread I posted a few weeks ago about considering buying a dog. Well - I've got one. She's absolutely gorgeous. We've had her for two weeks and she's totally taken over my life (in a good way). Haven't hardly had time to geek!!! Her name is Lola and she is a 10...

Hoping for some advice from my geeky animal lovers! I currently have two cats aged 6 and 8. We've had them for about 5 years. My 8 year old daughter has been desperate for a dog for ages now, and I would really like one too, but I am worried that it may upset the cats. I wondered how many of...

I just wondered if anyone has heard of or used Strivectin cream. It is, apparently, a stretch mark cream essentially, but it has also been found to be an excellent anti wrinkle treatment. I had a new client on Friday who was telling me all about how fantastic the results have been on her skin...

Just had to share this one with you guys. I did a set of acrylic nails on a lady 3 weeks ago. She had never had nail enhancements before. She had quite severe eczema on the inside of her arms and elbows. Well, I went to her tonight to do her first set of infills. She was so excited when I...

I was just wondering how you all remove comedones when performing a facial? How many of you use a metal comedone extractor, or do you prefer to use the fingers and tissue method? I've used both, but think the fingers and tissue method is less painful for the client, although my hubby prefers...

I've just purchased some Akzentz gels from Nails Plus Beauty. Thought I'd give them a try out on my own nails today before using them on my clients. I did my toes, no problems. They looked great. I then tried to apply them over the top of my acrylic enhancements. I used the base/gloss...

I know that the majority of us fill out client consultation cards at every appointment. My question is, do you get your client to sign the card at the end of the treatment to say they are satisfied with the service. I did a refresher waxing course on Thursday, and the tutor said that without...

Hi Hope someone can help me with this. Last year, I was working in my Sister in Law's Salon. I had all my certificates on the wall in the salon. When I left, all my certificates were given back to me, but my Beauty Certificate was missing. She's not sure whats happened to it:eek:. I've...

Wonder if someone can give me some advice. My 7 year old daughter trapped her thumb in the car door about 5 weeks ago. She is obviously going to loose her nail. There is severe onycholysis of most of the thumb nail. The problem is, where it is growing out, it is catching and shes really...

Hi everyone Just could do with a bit of advice. I've got a client who is coming to me on Thursday. She wants a manicure, pedicure and spray tan - all done together. Now, I a little worried about the residue on her skin after the mani and pedi, and how that will effect the spray tan. Has...

Just wanted to share my day with you all. I did a sculpting course today with Sue Simms at Millennium Nails Wales. OMG - how hard is sculpting????!!!:eek: I had a really good day. There were only three of us in the class, which was great and gave Sue plenty of time to spend showing us her...

Hi Just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing my Tantrick Spray tanning course on Monday!! I'm so excited, can't wait! Mandy has been so helpful, given me loads of information. Just wanted to thank everyone who has given me advice about the Mini mist etc!:hug: I'm am going to have such a...

Apologies if this has already been posted today - I couldn't see a thread anywhere, but just to let everyone know, Leighton Denny is on QVC at 10 pm tonight.:D
