    How long did it take you to fall pregnant?

    We took over a year. I know its horrible every month when U get ur period. After a year we both got tested by dr and we were both fine (in fact my hubbie had super sperm! Lol!) we were referred to fertility clinic but thankfully didn't need to go. My baby is 8 weeks old and we have just started...

    Broken CND lamp!

    This is a nightmare for people who don't have a working lamp. I have Shellac and Gelish although I did my training with Entity. Anyway just wanted to say I wish I had done my training with CND. Some day I will. I wouldn't jump ship (fair enough add another brand) and for the people changing...

    Starting self employed full time

    It's horrible being in that position but I would try stick it out. I'm self employed and pregnant just now. If I'm off sick I get nothing and your maternity allowance pay goes on how much you make and how much NI you've paid so not very straight forward. I'm trying to work mine out just now and...

    How to handle this!

    You need to do a patch test to be insured but are you going to drive 30 miles to do this and more to the point is the client going to pay for this? Sounds to me its not worth doing tints if this is the case? Or client will go to someone else who doesn't patch test. Anyway I would ditch this...

    Do you ever forget your first love?

    I'm married to my first love now. Took us a while to get here! We went out when I was 16 and then we chose different paths in life and split up. I moved and married someone else and He was a drug addict. 20 years later we got married in October and out first baby is due in December. It's funny...

    Heroin Addict

    So surprised this guy is spending money on a facial! My husband is a ex drug addict. He always worked apart from when he went to rehab for a year to get clean. He never stole from anyone. However I wouldn't treat someone on heroin. Apart from the fact I work from home and wouldn't be...

    I'm pregnant!

    I wasn't sure either, everyone said to keep it as a surprise but I don't do surprises! Lol! I was worried I would regret finding out. I haven't though I'm just delighted! We both are. I can't stop thinking about my baby boy. Can't wait to meet him :) oh we haven't told anyone else we've even had...

    What should I charge?

    Ive told her I can do it but I couldn't say how long they would last because I don't know the product. I've said it will still be £20.

    What should I charge?

    Thank you. That's what I was thinking.

    What should I charge?

    A client just asked me to put on nail wraps for her that she's bought herself. I normally change £20 for this and I use Kooky. Should I still charge the same? Should I do it? I don't even know what kind of wraps they are. Thanks

    Certificates?

    Aw I would have posted them out to you. Would never throw away someone's certificates!

    Would you do it again?

    Yes I would do it again but I'm a home based salon and work alone and that's enough for me. I'm at a good place just now with my regular clients and I do what adds up to about 3 days a week (treatment time). I make a good wage for the amount of work I do. Our first baby is on the way and I plan...

    Client bad mouthing me

    I had a problem with someone not being happy with their tan but I knew from day one she would be trouble. I refunded her to get rid of her and I would never take her back again. I wouldn't give anyone freebies that was bad mouthing my business and I wouldn't have them back. I'm more inclined to...

    Dermalogica, should I or shouldn't I?

    I agree with all this! I love Dermalogica! So do my clients. It was a big outlay to start with but I made money back in no time. Dermalogica are trying to stop the selling on eBay but its hard. Same as CND.

    Advice please

    I'm a beauty therapist and there is a lot more money in hair where I am! Hairdressers are making a fortune! Thing is with nail techs they seem to be everywhere now.

    Vinylux not living up to hype, in my opinion

    Mine lasted about a day and a half before chipping which is good for me. My nails are such a mess. If I used another polish I wouldn't get a day out of it but this would be good for me for a wedding or something. I'm just going to say to people it's harder wearing than other polishes. I can...
