    Training

    Hi all I currently do massage and nails and an thinking of adding spray tanning and waxing. Do brands do their own training and if so has anyone found it better to do training through a brand rather than a general waxing course? I haven't really looked into waxing at all except local...

    Bullies!

    I would speak to the school, I got bullied in junior school for a quite a while. once my teacher knew at the school it was so much easier for me, looking back now she was a brilliant teacher and I was very lucky. But they will have dealt with a similar situation before and can be really helpful...

    Day of wedding?

    We got married on a Thursday, we originally went for the Friday but we saved another £2000 by moving it to the Thursday. We chose the Thursday before May Day bank holiday so if people booked the Thursday and Friday off they would have a nice long weekend, most people loved it. The only people...

    How prepared for Christmas are you?

    🙈 kitchen gifts.... The conversation between my mum and myself at the weekend- she asked what I would like for Xmas, I said some gelish polish as it's on 3 for 2. But she didn't want to get me that as it wasn't really for me - I tried to persuade her that I love all polish and I would...

    Swedish massage routine?

    I start with 20mins back , then legs turn client over then do feet, front of legs,arms then hands. But I don't think there is any right or wrong way to do it, it just flows well for me this way xx

    Benefit fraud

    I definitely wouldn't. I have been very tempted once though someone I knew very well had claimed single parent when her partner had always been there. When I found this out I was tempted to report her but I just couldn't do it. Turns out either someone else reported her or she got caught out...

    Gelish removal

    I don't buff. I was trained to buff and used to buff all the time but I don't really find it makes any difference so don't bother anymore. X

    Should I charge more for layering?

    I don't charge for layering or an accent finger a different colour. I'm still using the same amount of gel polish I would if they were just having one colour. I do however charge extra for nail art and rockstar nails as I am using more products. X

    Clever storage ideas

    So I am finally able to extend my house which will give me an extra room that I can use as a treatment room and finally have a home salon. However the new room will also have another use - we will be keeping shoes, coats, tumble dryer etc in there. These will all be hidden in cupboards. I just...

    Does it bug you when a client doesn't come back?

    Don't take it personally as it isn't always personal. I used a friend of a friend who was brilliant and I loved going to her. But the salon is in the town centre so I have to pay for parking and get someone to have my two girls - which isn't always easy so I use a lady down the road from me...
