    £150 for 1000 flyers?

    I used InstantPrint, very quick, excellent turnaround, can upload own artwork or use theirs, great quality, brilliant price, couldn't fault them.

    Failing business - I quit!

    Thanks for all the lovely kind messages, it's quite touching cause i'm not ashamed to admit it, i'm in a bad place at the mo with everythings that's happened, BUT i'm planning on hopefully getting out of it. I am making the right decision taking a break from the industry, working for £15-£30...

    Failing business - I quit!

    I still live with my folks, so home salon is not an option as they wouldn't allow it. & I'm not sure about just moving the business to Chester. I spoke to my old beauty therapy tutor a few weeks ago who said one of the part time tutors had a business in Ellesmere Port, moved it to Chester &...

    Failing business - I quit!

    Well thought I’d post a new thread about a few things, hope you don’t mind. It’s been no secret that I’ve been struggling recently to get my business running. I’ve done all the usual, Facebook page, Website, Yell & Gumtree listings, leaflet drops, voucher donations to schools for raffles...

    Would you work if you did not have to?

    I'd volunteer within an animal shelter walking dogs or volunteer working with special needs kids.

    Words/sayings that get on your nerves!

    It's not just Liverpool, it's also the outskirts, here on the otherside of the river it's just as bad. Young lads come in the salon or hearing them in the street or pub talk like that & it drives me insane. It's almost as bad as seeing them with their hands down their pants .... I always want...

    Words/sayings that get on your nerves!

    I don't find it too much in Beauty but when i worked in offices with sales guys what used to really annoy me was: Touch Base I used to play Buzz Word Bingo with some of the other people in the office during meetings because one of the Managers loved his Buzz Words ..... he didn't like it...

    What made you smile today?

    Seeing so many positive comments on my recent Irks on the other thread. It's nice to know fellow geeks who i'll most prob never meet are nicer than the people i deal with on a daily basis.

    Thanks to all the posts about my Irks recently, the day levelled out after the last irk of both clients cancelling. Decided not to say anything about the Facebook post from my sisters mate, with everything thats happened recently, illness, breaking my arm, losing my driving licence, no...

    What irked you today?

    My irk has reached an all time high & it's not even 10:30 !! I'm fighting back the tears & feeling if falling on the floor. So fed up, had 2 clients booked in today ....... Both have cancelled. I can't do a 3rd week with no clients.

    What irked you today?

    I'm still irked by the chav from last night. But irked even more after reading something on Facebook. Going on a weekend away with my sister & her friends, 20+ of us going, I messaged the organiser last night asking if there'll be anymore costs cause I'm beyond skint at the mo due to having no...

    What irked you today?

    Agree completely, ok you might not have liked her when she was alive, but any decent person should never talk ill of the dead. What irked me today was going in a date with a guy who I've been chatting to online for a couple of weeks, nice guy, at 26, he's 6 years younger but come across as...

    Gelish-what did I do wrong?

    I have the 18G lamp & the ONLY time I've had issues with it was with the Sweet Morning Dew colour, I do all 4 fingers & thumbs at the same time. Sounds like its your application hun, try & remove as much polish off the brush & go from there. You'll quickly realise just how much you need on the...

    Can't beat them, should I join them?

    I'm in a town where 99% of people would rather be butchered for £15-£20 than spend £30 & have better nails. I've spent the last 6 months trying to educate people, but they just don't want to know. Due to this I'm now looking for a way out, will still do nails but only on a Saturday & more as...

    Gelish-what did I do wrong?

    Sounds like the layers are too thick. But like as been said, some of the newer colours are that thick even a thin coat wrinkles. I had major issues with Sweet Morning Dew until I read a few tips on here. If its 1 of the new spring collection, you can either return it or warm it up before hand...

    Have you ever had a client become ill whilst doing their nails?

    As an Epileptic myself, I only imagine what those around me think when I have a Grand Mal fit as I’m sure it's a scary thing for people to see. Thing is, this kind of incident happens at ANY time, in ANY situation. You can not blame your treatment on it, Epilepsy comes in MANY forms...

    These nails using Gelish?

    I would use Light Elegant or Ambiance for the pink, then put 1 layer of TIO on, wipe the sticky layer off then do the black. This way if you make a mistake with the black you can easily wipe it off without getting fluff in the inhibition layer. I would personally use a striping brush or brush...

    Scratch

    I get it free with my insurance, love it. Love looking at all the designs people can do & it inspires me with my own take on the ideas. Just wish i had an ounce of the skill that some of the featured techs have.

    What irked you today?

    TV Licence in salon or not?

    An old boyfriend of mine got rid of his tv, hdd drive, sky box etc & replaced it with a large screen projector. He used to hook his laptop up to it & watch stuff on the internet that was not live. So stuff on you tube, free streaming movies, iplayer that kinda thing. He got a knock on the...
