    Laser hair removal

    I have an SHR machine and we've had it for just under 18 months. Does it actually work as my clients hair growth would suggest not! And if it does work, how many actual sessions do you need??

    The Gel Bottle or Ink London

    I personally found that TGB was stronger that INK x

    The Gel Bottle or Ink London

    I’ve used both and prefer TGB. Durability is second to none. Removal takes a bit of practice but once you understand proper application, removal is a dream at 8 minutes. Pigments are amazing in TGB and 2 coats is enough for 99% of colours. We hold 250 colours. Love it.

    Newly trained tech, problems with Shellac

    I haven’t read the replies but if you’re clients nails are lifting, then you’re not washing off the cuticle away properly and certainly not scrubbing th scrub fresh until it squeaks. Get right in all the corners. Watch hand placement in the lamps too and there should be no reason to lift.

    Opening my own nail salon

    Don’t do it! I’m in year 2. We take so much money but with all the over heads, corporation tax and vat, I’m literally left with nothing. As soon as my lease is up I’m going back home [emoji17]

    LVL or lash lift and tint course?

    Hi, I trained with LVL but my current 4 girls in the salon trained in 4 different places and the results are just as good x

    Card vs cash payment?

    My salon is 90% card at least! Some weeks it’s 99% card. We take very little cash x

    Cancellation policy complaint

    We enforce our cancellation policy 99.9% of the time and if we lose a client because of it then so be it. The only time I don't enforce it is if I can cover the appointment with someone else. I have been very strict since day one.

    Lash lift and facial

    I don't know if you can do them together. If you do I'd go facial then lift. Be very careful not to get any facial products on the lashes and clean them properly before starting the lift. Why do you think lift then facial?

    Working from home - policies

    Been there and done it! My signs are no longer polite. My text reminders blunt. My email confirmations bordering offensive! It's the only language these people understand!! No respect. I refuse people that turn up with kids. I've told them already so there's no way they can't know. I'm sick of...

    Client keeps sticking gel nail back on with glue!

    We charge accordingly for 2/3 week infills. Anything 4 weeks and over is the price of a full set.

    Lash lift too lifted?

    Instead of a small shield, use a medium x

    The Gel Bottle or GELeration?

    Anyone can buy anything. Amazon and eBay are flooded with fakes and genuine products. It doesn't put me off at all! Everyone can buy football boots, they can't all play like Ronaldo!

    The Gel Bottle lamp

    Yes I do! I use BIAB very thinly so still use 2S for 60 seconds. If I'm a bit thicker I'll double cure just to make sure. There will be a heat spike!! The new TGB lamps have two options so you won't get a heat spike. I'm so tempted to get the new lamp. Love that it's cordless. May get 6 and then...

    The Gel Bottle lamp

    I use TGB and have the original lamps. If I can't use those I used the CND LED ones and cure using 2S and have no issues whatsoever x

    The Gel Bottle or GELeration?

    The Gel Bottle all day long. GELeration is inconsistent with application and has destroyed many new clients nails that have come to me from other nail techs. The Gel Bottle applies flawlessly in 2 coats. Never lifts. Rarely chips. Comes off well. And the nails are in great condition. No dryness...
