I've just moved to a beauty room in a salon after been mobile. If somebody has booked in for acrylic removal do you book in any other clients while there soaking off? I'm thinking things that don't take a long time like an eyebrow wax or something x

I apologise now for all the posts I'll be making!! Lol I'm moving to a beauty room I'm renting in a salon so I've got a lot of questions! Basically I'm renting it self employed but the owner will be advertising for me. I have a Facebook page already but it's under my own business name. I'll be...

I've just registered self employed as I'm starting in a salon next week renting a room. What do I have to do now? I know I have to keep receipts of everything I buy and appointments. The salon I'm working in does all the appointments through an app so should I write it down and keep a record for...

How adorable is this!!!

I've always done pedicures with the client sitting down on a chair but I'm moving into a room next week and I'm not going to have enough space for a comfy chair. I will however have my beauty bed in there and I've heard people doing it this way. I cannot for the life of me think how it's going...

Hi everyone, I've just been to look at a salon and I'm renting a room from next week! It's my first room so I'm a bit confused as to how to make sure everything's clean. I know I need to sterelise my metal tools (cuticle nippers, tweezers etc) but do I wash them first? Then do I leave them in...

Do I have to be qualified to offer make up? There's a make up course that I've been thinking about which comes with a certificate but it's a bit out of my price range. I've messaged the make up artist that's teaching it and she said she does a workshop but it doesn't come with a certificate. She...

I've been working mobile for the last couple of months, only actually had 2 or 3 clients though as a lot of them have cancelled! There's a room to rent in a very good, well established hair and beauty salon and I'm not sure whether to go for it. The rent is £80 a week and can work whatever hours...

Hi everyone, so you may remember me posting a while ago about my step mum passing away and me having to cancel some clients. Basically I had people booked in the day she passed away and the day after. I was very close to my step mum and I was in no fit state to work so I sent them a nice message...

I've just started up mobile and had quite a few new clients booked in for this week and next. My step mum has just passed away last week and I'm not coping as well as I'd hoped. I did an appointment a couple of days after it happened and made a complete mess of it because my head wasn't in the...

I'm qualified in the following: Shellac Acrylics Eyelash extensions Billion Dollar Brows Waxing Lash lift Tinting Spray tans And I'm looking for something new to train in. I was thinking make up but I'm not sure there would be much call for it and I know it would be really expensive to get a...

My natural hair colour is nearly black but my hair at the minute is a medium blonde colour so my eyebrows look a bit odd lol. I used the blonde brow on them but they went a bit orangy so I then used the light brown tint. Put it on and wiped it away as soon as I'd put it on but they were near...

I've got someone booked in tomorrow for an eyebrow wax and tint (it's my first one since qualifying) I'm mobile and have a beauty bed but it's so heavy, I think its 18kg! Bear in mind I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 8 stone! Lol. Do I need to take it or can I just get her to sit on her sofa with her head...

I've just done my wax course and put all my waxing things in a beauty case apart from my wax heater. What can I put it in to stop it spilling? I took it to my course with me last week in its cardboard box it came in stood upright in my passenger footwell. It didn't tip over at all but when I...

Hi, I'm new to acrylic nails and someone has just messaged me wanting her acrylics taken off (not done by me) and new ones applied. I've never done a removal before but on myself I use the pro tip clips but I find it takes a while. I think she's had them done at a nss salon so has anyone got any...

I have my 2nd client on Monday and she asked for white tip acrylics with simple nail art. Now she's just messaged me these pictures are said she wants something like this! I can't do 3d acrylic or one stroke and I only have regular rhinestones. I don't think I can do any of the designs she...
