    What to do?

    So she accepted the 40% discount knowing you're new to nails...I wouldn't of thought she can legally do anything!

    Draw something

    It's a good job my nail art customers don't see my drawings on this game, they'd never book in! I only have the free app, what extra do you get for the 69p (yes I'm too tight to pay it lol!) My username is ssjjss, feel free to add me and laugh at my drawing skills :green:

    My second paying client!

    ..or two :lick: Don't worry, the more experience you get the less nervous you'll be! I remember how nervous I used to get, it used to tire me out!

    This may be a silly question but...

    I do the same hun..base coat, then white which I neaten up if needed with Nailfresh, then pink over the whole nail, then top coat. The Nailfresh does remove a small amount of the base coat but it's never noticable at the end..is yours leaving noticable marks? xx

    Diamante on acrylics help please :)

    Encapsulated rhinestones/crystals don't go dull, just do a cracking job on the finish :wink2:. Imo Swarovski crystals look miles better than any other gems in L&P or sealed with topcoat, fantastic sparkle!

    Client understands she is at fault but wants nails re-done for free?

    Definitely not for free! If she's a good customer then perhaps a discount..but that's it. You have to be firm :wink2: xx

    Diamante on acrylics help please :)

    I use two methods. I either encapsulate in clear L&P or use nail glue to fix diamonte to the nail/enhancement and then apply a top coat which I advice clients to repeat every few days.

    NVQ3 or CND Enhance course? What is best?

    I agree, def more to the NVQ than learning the nails! I also got Sunjunkie spray tan training, Caflon ear-peircing training, NSI advanced nail art training, experience of working at salon reception, always worked on paying clients, and a day out to the beauty show in Manchester ..which was all...

    NVQ3 or CND Enhance course? What is best?

    This is a tricky one....I did my original training with CND and then went to college one day a week for 2 years to get NVQ levels 2 & 3 in Nail Services (yes there was a lot of 18-19 year olds, half of which dropped out :rolleyes: but there were also some more mature ladies like me ;))...

    Mobile/Home working techs: Do you have a separate business phone number?

    Hi, it costs me £8.38 with Virgin to run my "work phone". Nothing very fancy as it's more for customers to ring me. I take it with me wherever I go and I know when it rings it's a customer not family or friend :wink2:

    Client Removing own nails???

    hmmmm.. imo I wouldn't encourage clients to remove thier enhancements, you have trained to do it and can remove them without causing damage, I dread to think what state people's nails would be in if they always did it themselves even if you offer a step by step tutorial. If they want good...

    Meeting about rent tomorrow!

    hi theresa, the salon owner says they turn away quite a lot of enhancement work because the beauticians who are already there can't fit it in, they are going to keep a record of customers they turn away for the next 2 weeks so I can see. Bookings will be taken for me by other members of staff...

    Meeting about rent tomorrow!

    Hi, Does your rent include your equipment? Was the room ready for you to just walk in and start working or did you have do it up yourself?? I've spoken to a hair and beauty salon recently who have a room they are currently refurbishing and will be ready to work in soon (nail station provided)...

    Home salon - male clients?

    Hi, I work from home and offer male manicure and male pedicure, I haven't had any calls for it as yet but like you I didn't want to be turning work away. If I do get a call for either of these I will only offer an evening appointment, when I know hubby will be home. hth x
