    Threading very wrinkled stretchy skin

    I agree with Elliebee, some clients like what they like so it is difficult to change their minds otherwise. I would perhaps do section by section, making sure they stretch the areas fully and then get them to hold it before moving on to the next bit. Move their hands if you need to, showing...

    How to keep my brown hair brown?

    To all the lovely hair geeks out there, I have a question. I'm naturally a mousy brunette but I have been having 1/2 highlights to get the ombré look. Anywho, I'm going back brunette and my hair appointment is in a few weeks. I have already been instructed by my hairdresser that the brunette...

    Transporting wax heater in the car

    Have you tried putting clingfilm over the wax pot? This usually stops any spillages.

    How much should I charge for a spray tan?

    Like as said with the other geeks, I would research what other therapists are charging in your area so you can get a general idea. You don't want to charge too little, or too much. For me, I've seen spray tans go for around £15-£30. It just depends what your area is like.

    Which gel is the best?

    I would personally recommend Bio Sculpture. It is a great healthy gel treatment which encourages nail growth and leaves nails nice and strong. All my clients love it and they ask for it by name, a great range of colours too!

    Really hate waxing

    To be honest an allergic reaction could happen to any one of us. It dosen't mean that it is down to your individual waxing skills. For the blistering, make sure you test the consistency of your wax and your temperature. I always test a small patch on my clients wrist to make sure that it is okay...

    Wax! Cream Wax?

    I use Satin Smooth Cucumber Creme Wax and I find that it is much easier to apply, I prefer the consistency and I also find that it leaves a much smoother, nicer finish. Definately won't change to anything else now.

    Massage or facials?

    I would say massage too. I find that a lot more people need it and it's something that clients are really interested in. It also equally appeals to men too which is a bonus.

    Some wax still left on skin?

    I agree and I think I was perhaps applying my wax a bit too thin. As I did a back wax on my brother, wax wasen't left on every strip, just in places on the back so it must of been my technique. I didn't know their were thicknesses in a wax strip. Thanks Jack :)

    Some wax still left on skin?

    Oh I see. I'm only using wax strips from Capital at the moment, do you think I should change wax strips if this will help? Thank you for your advice, I will definately try that next time I have a wax and see if it helps.

    I either wear Touch of Pink - Lacoste or EDP by Micheal Kors. Looking to get a new summery perfume for the summer though.

    Some wax still left on skin?

    I'm finding that when I carry out waxing services that after removing the wax strip that there is always some wax left on the skin? Does anyone know why this is? I'm currently using warm creme wax, am I applying it too thick?

    Where is the cheapest place to buy materials?

    Have you looked in Capital and Sally's? They are very reasonably priced and they occassionally hold vat free days which is always a bonus. I purchase all my waxing equipment from Capital. For online stores you could try, Ellisons, Beauty Express, Ebay - (for non branded basic items like couch...

    Best wax?

    I have just changed wax too and I now use Satin Smooth Aloe vera/Cucumber creme wax and I think its fab. Easily heated up, a nice consistency and applies really smooth and it leaves a flawless finish. I would highly recommend it. I purchase mine from Capital hair and beauty. Sent from my HTC...
