I don’t usually reply to comments on here, but felt like I had to. As you remind me of what I was like! I started off like you, not very confident and feeling down a lot. My best advice would be to practice at home. When I did my first facial, I used products at home (not the correct ones but I...

Am I able to have a sample please I’m from the uk x

So just a update... I’m going to be made redundant. I Have to speak to area management on Wednesday to get full details. But I have spoken to my boss and she would like to rehire me once all the COVID stuff calms down, she just can’t afford to keep me on at the moment. She has asked me to cover...

Oh wow thank you for all you’re replies! 😀 I’m going to carry on working at the salon until I hear any different. At the moment I’m in the process of redecorating my house- so it won’t be yet anyway. My house is tiny! So I have a small area right near the front door that I was thinking of using...

Thank you for your honest feedback. I spoke to my boss today and we’re all issued with a meeting on the 14th. She has said to prepare for the worst as they were talking about selling the salon. I have spoken to quite a few of my clients regarding my situation and they all Said they would Still...

I will keep this as short as I can! Apologies in advance! So I’ve just received a message from my boss basically saying hours are going to be cut and possible let go off staff due to the coronavirus. I haven’t been let go yet, but I need to think of a back up plan of what to do next.. salons...

Really! Gutted :(

i hope someone out there can help.. for the past 2 weeks I’ve been unable to get into the app.. It comes up with this message continuously, I’ve deleted and downloaded the app, updated any updates and even changed my password.. I love this site So I’m a bit gutted!

I had a old nail client like that, would take the file out of my hand then proceed to file her nails, criticise and nit pick at literally everything I did. Every time though she used to tip me £5! At first it made me feel really uncomfortable. Then after the 4th time of doing her nails.. she was...

I work in a express beauty bar located in Sainsbury’s, my boss have been fab and reassured us we’ll be fine, I know I will just me being silly x

I start work tomorrow too 8-3 I’m so nervous! I’m sure il be fine.. just strange going back after having so long off :(

Would this benefit me too? I don’t own a salon but I work in one x

Thank you for all your kind words. I have seen for myself my old salon is going down hill. So I don’t think it was me personally just poor management. I’m in a better place so let’s see what 2020 brings x

So I thought I would write a update! I’m onto my 3rd month now, I’ve had extra training to ensure I’m up to the salons standard and had lots of practice! My manger has offered me a permanent position! In my old salon I rarely had people in as it was bookings so was really quiet. I’m now doing up...

I’m early too- I’m currently on my second year in the industry. The mistakes I can think of I have made are forgetting the top coat, I tinted a ladies eyebrows too dark- she was really fussy and didn’t want them to look noticeable, but had white hair, so obviously the tint would come through...

When I did my first Brazilian the hot wax got stuck to my clients hair- I was absolutely dying inside, in the end I had to cut it off with scissors. I didn’t charge her and I cried at reception she came out obviously felt bad hugged me and told me not to worry about it. She never did come back...

Just thought I’d start a light hearted thread on mistakes made during your first years into the industry. Anything funny nothing too serious, just would like to hear others stories. I once forgot to top coat a hand on a client nails - needless to say she came back shortly and of course I...

I felt I needed to reply to this. I did nails when I was 17 I loved it. I fell pregnant at 19. And due to my daughter getting type 1 diabetes at 14 months old and her health being really bad. (Most of her childhood was spent in hospitals) when she was 4 I urmed and arhed for ages whenever to get...

I feel your pain! I work in a walk in service beauty bar in sainsburys. My last client of the day was a nightmare!! She was a lovely lady but had a bored 3 year old sitting on her lap.. it was a file and gel which usually takes me about 20 minutes to do! I have children so I completely...

Prep is key! Buffing and properly dehydrating the nail. Thin coats and avoid the skin. And remember to cap the nail! And of course practice practice practice! Good luck! X
