Hi, I've recently completed an airbrush course (which I loved) and am about to start training in makeup. I'm practicing at the moment and my question is: To all that airbrush, do you make up the eyes first? Thank you:)

Im trying it out as well. Ive been using gellux these last few years and am extremely happy with it. However, the fact that there is no bonder, base or top coat and no wiping at the end did appeal to me. Ive been wearing Cornflower Blue over my acrylics (1 week in) and i have 1 of the girls...

Hi I bought gellux about 5-6 weeks ago and its still going strong on my toes!!! i trailed it on several customers on their hands and after 3 weeks it still hadnt chipped though 3 of them had lost the whole cover of gellux by catching in the door, oven and freezer compartment! remember to buy...

Hi. i used the marvel lash lift system on a client of mine who had terribly curly lashes on the outer eye that actually sat on her eyelid so was unable to apply lash extensions. the lift system lifted the lash off the eyelid so i was able to apply lash extensions 48 hours after. saz x

Hi. I have this problem on two of my clients and have just come on here to post a similar thread to you. One of my clients lashes curl right onto the eyelid and there is no possible way i can get a extension on there. i was wondering if there was anyway i could straighten the effected...

Hi, i use a basic manicure dish (supplied at local wholesalers) for this purpose and find i have no problems with it as the clients rest their wrists on my desk and their fingers sit comfortably in the dish. Hope this helps Sarah xx

Hi As the location is in the city centre and they will help you advertise, I think that is an excellent price. I live in Bristol and was offered a similar set up to you at a cost of £30 per day, but the salon was out in the sticks with no help for advertising. I now rent a space in a salon on a...

im a little annoyed after reading through some of these threads as i recently bought some retention from ebay. Calm down fellow geeks, please let me explain. I order a large stock twice yearly, when i have about a months-6 weeks stock left. for the past 4 weeks i have been trying to place...

Hi fellow geeks Anyone still not able to get creative retention & powder (until the new stock comes in), try Behind Bars on Ebay shops. I was desparate and ordered on sunday eve and my order arrived today. I found the cost to be more or less the same as when i ordered direct from the hyperion...

i charge £29.50 for a full set, £23.50 for a rebalance and £21.50 for infills. With this comes 2 free replacement nails. I dont charge to soak off my existing nails if replacing with a full set due to the problems you mention. I also sell acetone for customers to soak off their nails so if im...

i use paraffin wax on my hands and feet. it is fantastic in making your feet super smooth and soft. used reguarlarly, like any treatment, leaves fab results. Sarah xx

when i was mobile i charged a 'call out' charge of £5 on top of my charge of £3.50 for a repair. if customers weren't happy with this i offered them the alternative of calling in at my house to get their nail repaired. Sarah xx

i dont get a high demand for these, but i charge the same price for my regulars and add on a £5 nail art charge for newbies. Sarah xx

Mostly i get a couple of quid, up to a £5 tip, but at christmas about half my clients give me a christmas bonus. Christmas just gone i received 16 bottles of wine and about £100 in tips. I was well drunk over the christmas festivities lol Sarah xxx

i trained with NSI 3 years ago to use an Electric file. they are fab for rebalancing and shortening the enhancement length and shortens the time i have to spend with my clients. With proper training they are brillant. Unfortunately there are a lot of nail bars that use them incorrectly AND ON...

i too, started just like you. i worked full time then did a course and lots of practising on friends and families. Through these i was recommended and started to build up a client base and went part time at work and did nails from my home part time. i now rent a space in a salon and have...
