    Relocating your business

    Thanks for the reply. I know what you're saying and I feel stupid for asking the questions but what I wanted to know was if people kept everything the same and literally just moved it over with them to the new location. (Other than pricing as obviously, it will need to adjust to fit in with...

    Relocating your business

    I'm in some need of advice from my fellow geeks please. I currently own a small salon in Staffordshire but my partner lives in Suffolk. We have been discussing "the move" as his job means that he is unable to move this way. I've been established in my town for about 4/5 years now and have...

    Patch testing and insurance

    Yes, I'm on about tinting predominantly. Although I was told this morning it applies to any treatment requiring a patch test e.g eyelash extensions. Thanks pure, think I am going to have to email them.

    Patch testing and insurance

    I've heard a lot recently about insurance companies changing the restrictions on patch testing for services such as eyelash tinting. I have been told by a friend of mine (in this industry) that insurance companies are expecting a patch test to be carried out 24-48 hours prior to EACH treatment...

    Beauty Show UK Birmingham

    I went this year only because TCBG were there. I was quite disappointed on the tat they were selling...scarves and shoes and LOADS of teeth whitening stalls. I took my sister (her first time) she had a trail of some powder brow thing. The girl slapped on wonky dark brown, thick powder on her...

    CND LED lamp?

    Thanks Pure :hugs: I know I'm naughty but GelII currently cures fine in my cnd uv lamp and have been told that this is fine to do. Im just wondering if it will still cure it in the new cnd led lamp. I don't want to purchase it, chuck my old ones and find out that it doesn't cure my GelII

    CND LED lamp?

    I've been following this thread and i have a few questions prior to purchasing. I am wondering if this new lamp is still good for tootsies as the old one has the slip out plate. Does this have similar or is it designed for hands only? Also, I currently use my CND lamp for GelII and IBX, a bit...

    Retention or Skyscraper-tell me I'm not the only one having this dilemma

    Thanks for that Maz :hugs: I've been mulling it over for weeks and the clients that ive spoken to about perhaps me no longer offering Shellac and being solely Creative Beauty Group products have 99% said yes! I'm thinking I'll wait until the show on the 10th, rack the brains of you guys at the...

    Retention or Skyscraper-tell me I'm not the only one having this dilemma

    I started out in my basic training years ago with Cuccio products, I then did a conversion to NSI L&P and found the product to be great but I needed more. Also, the company not being easily accessible for me and the postage each time I needed one item was getting expensive. After much research...

    Male back waxing help

    Thanks Mat, yeah it seems it's going to be a big thing so I need to get it right. Sounds silly saying well yes I'm qualified but I don't really know how to do it and the thought of trial and error scares me so I'm thinking I need to do a course. I don't even know where to begin. I am interested...

    Male back waxing help

    Okay, let me start by saying that this is a very odd question for me and out of my comfort zone so please be gentle with me. My new salon is based within a complex which has a bodybuilding gym in it. I've had a few guys ask me if I can wax them e.g back wax. I am qualified in warm waxing and...

    50 Shades of Grey

    I haven't read the books but my bestie demanded that we go and see it on Valentine's Day (she even ditched her fiancée so we could go) I joked about it saying "I can't believe you've dragged me out to watch p*rn at the cinema" she thought I was being silly and said "it won't be THAT bad". We...

    Has gel polish became a standard service for all nail techs?

    I'd say that you absolutely should invest in gel polish. Firstly if your competitions are offering that and you are not, with it being in such high demand nowadays, I think you'd be foolish not to. Not only that but I'd say that my main income is from this service. I think that clients these...
