    Wow, Waxperts hot wax is really good!

    After I qualified a few years ago I purchased Waxperts wax at a show (before they were with Sweetsquared). It never really took off for me as a mobile service so has been sitting unused. Tonight I thought I would get it out and have a play. I shaved my underarms on Saturday and applied the hot...

    Allergy to gel polish - would IBX help?

    Has anyone experience with an allergy to Gel Polish? I just wondered if wearing IBX under the polish would help in any way? Many thanks.

    High heels - tips please!

    So, I have a party coming up for which I have bought some high heels. I love the style of them and they go with my outfit perfectly. However, my feet start to ache as soon as I put them on - my whole foot - and they continue to ache when I take the shoes off. I've managed to wear the shoes for...

    Lumps and bumps on legs after waxing

    I've trained in waxing but recently dropped it from my menu - I'm mobile so it was a bit of a hassle but I didn't really promote it either due to lack of confidence. I continue to wax my own legs but they're never smooth - there's always lumps and bumps. Is this purely down to lack of proper...

    New client's son bullies mine!

    Hi Ladies - what would you do? A client has recommended me to a friend of hers. I've booked her in for next week. It turns out that her son bullies my son. I've only found out about this today and don't know all the details but I feel awkward. Any advice? Thanks :)

    A non-buff 'Gel Polish'

    Don't get me wrong I love Shellac but sometimes I see colours in other ranges and think 'I'd love to try that'. I've looked at a few other ranges of gel polish and the instructions start with 'gently buff the nail’. This puts me off and my clients would certainly dislike it. So the question...

    Best kohl liner on the market?

    Hi I'm looking for your opinion on the best kohl - I like to wear eyeliner on my inner eye sometimes but it just never lasts and you get 'eye bogies'. Any recommendations? Ta :)

    File and paint only manicure

    Question .... If you offer a quick file and polish do you not do any cuticle work at all? Can you still do a good paint job? I've been asked to do six ladies at a party and I think I'll have to do really quick prep but I'm worried that the finish could be poor. What do you do? Many thanks x

    Advice please - best fitting/flattering jeans

    I'm on the hunt for a pair of black jeans that are stretchy, comfortable (don't dig in when you sit down), have a decent sized waist (to hold the muffins in), straight legged and not too expensive. I don't expect miracles and know I won't look like a supermodel but something that would smooth...

    Doing manicures at a hen party

    I received a text last night from a friend who will be hosting a hen party and has asked me if I would like to do manicures there. I think this will be a great opportunity for a bit of advertising/networking but I'm not sure what to charge and how. I'll be using Vinylux as it will be quicker...

    What makes you groan out loud?

    I have just literally groaned out loud!!! I'm finishing off my glass of wine and thinking of snuggling up into bed but ARGHH!!! I washed the bedding today but haven't put it back on the bed yet. It's still airing on the radiators and I really can't be bothered to do the duvet dance. Maybe I'll...

    Price list terms & conditions

    Hi, I'm spending this evening updating and printing all my price lists, etc. (oh I know how to enjoy myself on a Saturday night!). I remember reading, but have searched and searched to no avail, about some special wording you should put on your pricelist. It was to cover you incase someone had...

    Mobile Shellac Storage

    I like to make my kit as compact as possible for lugging round to people's houses but I'm really starting to struggle now with Shellac storage - there have been so many new colour releases that I am running out of space in my bag. I don't have all the colours but have filled three Roo storage...

    Do you still send Christmas cards?

    Do you still send christmas cards? Who do you send them to? I send cards to pretty much everybody I know. I've noticed though that this year loads of people haven't sent us a card. It costs me a small fortune to post them out and even people in the village haven't sent cards back this year. Was...

    Couldn't complete Shellac manicure due to power cut - would you charge?

    So I was in the middle of applying shellac at someone's home yesterday in the storms and there was a power cut! We waited 15 minutes without it coming back on before I decided to remove what I had done. One hand had been cured so I had to use remover wipes. They offered to pay something but I...

    Tinting very fair eyelashes

    Hi, I've got a booking for an eyelash tint next week and when I went to do a patch test today I noted that the lady has very fair eyelashes. Help! I'm nervous! I haven't done many eyelashes since qualifying and none of them were particularly fair. Any handy tips or advice? I'm worried about...
