Hi, bit of a random one, but my boy is 15 and is getting quite close to needing a shave. So I'm just wondering, what is the best to start with, electric or a wet razor? Also, some of his beard is still quite fine. Is it best to wait till it thickens up a bit, if that makes sense! Just want to do...

I've just booked to go on the Brisa Lite Build It course at Sweet Squared in Leeds this April. I've had a quick search but can't find any threads about it. I know that it's about fixing one or two broken nails, which is what I'm wanting to learn, but has anyone else on here done it? Just wanted...

I have had a regular client for quite a while now and she is starting to have major problems keeping her Brisa Lite and Shellac on. Her nails have never been great right from the start, but only really 4 fingers causing problems. (Peeling nails on index and middle finger on both hands). We...

Ok, so I did a clear overlay of Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel for my friend last week and her pen leaked in her pocket all over one hand! She hasn't got time for me to remove them until next week. I'm seeing her briefly tomorrow. Does anyone know if polish remover would work? I told her the only...

Was having a bit if a proud moment and just wanted to share my nail journey, all framed and ready to go on my wall! 😊 Sent from my iPad using SalonGeek mobile app

Ok, so I had a new client tonight and she said that some Gel look regular nail polish (it was Revlon) did this damage to her toe nails. I took a look and thought, that looks like a nail coating has been ripped off. She says she's never had enhancements on them, never had shellac before and all...

Just a random thought. This is my first year doing nails part time & I am mobile. We are forecast snow this week & was just wondering what all you mobile geeks do when it snows! I am a total wuss when it comes to driving in snow! What precautions do you take? Have you ever had to cancel? Any...

Hi. Just popped over from nails! Please forgive me as I know nothing about hairdressing and I am looking for some advice. I am looking for a good mobile hairdresser for my Mum. If anyone could recommend one who covers the Halifax/Huddersfield area of West Yorkshire I would be most grateful if...

Hi Geeks, I was talking to a friend of mine and she found out a couple of years ago that she is allergic to nail polish. She didn't want plain nails for her wedding so had Shellac instead. She said that the salon did a patch test first to be on the safe side and she was fine with it, had...

Has anyone else had trouble removing excess additives from the skin. I did mine last night and used Cerulean Blue. I tried using D-Sperse but it wouldn't budge. D-Solve on a cotton bud didn't work either. Even after several washes it was still there. It finally faded after a shower tonight. Has...

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about a new client I had who is a hydrotherapist and was having problems with her previous Shellac manicure peeling because of (she thought) the heat from the pool and spending so much time in the water. However, we got a little side tracked talking nail art...

Hello, geeks. I recently put some of my Halloween nail art on my FB page (done using normal polish) and I had a reply from a lady wanting some done for a Halloween party. She asked how much it would be for 8 fingers in Shellac & 2 nail art. (She wanted pumpkins.) I advised that as the designs...

Hi, I have just had my purple Nailpillo delivered and I love it! So much, in fact, that I want to make sure I am taking the best care to look after it. I know the cover is machine washable, which is great, but how do you keep it clean inbetween clients? Is it ok to spray it with sanitiser spray...

I had my Shellac training today at Sweet Squared in Leeds, and I have to say, it was fab!!:biggrin: I have only practiced on my own nails since getting my kit but now I feel more confident and the small niggles I had have (hopefully!) been sorted. I know now that everything else will all come...

Hi, I'm new to all this and have just set up in business doing manicures, nail art and soon Shellac. It started more as a hobby, as I work full time in a school, but I have been trying to find more clients and get my name out there a bit more. (My contract at school runs out in 2 years so I may...

Hi. I usually do my nail art dislpays on nail wheels as I am mobile and they are easy to transport. However, I have recently done some on single tips and was wondering if any of you geeks had any innovative ideas on how to display and carry them. :biggrin: xx

I have just had a very unpleasant phonecall from some marketing company claiming to be Google offering new businesses like mine a free 3 page website and first place on the front page of Google. At the start of the conversation everything was free for 31 days, then the price jumped to £100 and...
