    Recommendations for eyebrow tint/wax?

    I’ve just trained with Brow By Mii and all the products are amazing. Tints are super intense and the wax is fab! Aftercare/retail products are amazing too and mineral which is great as a lot of the brow makeup with other brands isn’t and therefore not really suitable for after waxing. I’m really...

    CACI, Environ or Elemis Biotec

    Thanks so much for your reply. I guess I’m just a bit scared to take the plunge! Yes we retail Elemis really well, I’ve always found it so easy to sell as I’m pretty passionate about it. I’m sure I’ll become just as passionate about Environ once I know more about it! The Dermogenera peels sound...

    CACI, Environ or Elemis Biotec

    I currently stock Elemis in my salon and am a big fan. Their support hasn’t been great though as I’ve had 7 reps in 6 years and big stints without a rep which has been frustrating! I have been considering taking on Elemis Biotec to be able to upgrade our facial offerings. I have also looked at...

    Epil Pro

    Is Epil Pro still about if so who is the UK distributor? I’ve had a lot of ladies recently ask us if we offer if, a few salons around us do. But I can’t find any information on it anywhere?? Tia

    BareMinerals closed my account!

    Jane Iredale is amazing. It’s a skin care makeup and I couldn’t rate it high enough. HTH x

    Gel system alternative

    Can I ask how you find INK London in terms on wear and longevity? I use CND Shellac but finding it's not suitable for every client and some don't get a weeks wear let alone 2 and I really don't want to go down the hard gel route. Tia. X

    Brand loyal to CND but...

I did the full nail course 5 years ago to be able to offer a service to suit clients nails but as a beauty therapist so don't just do nails all day every day so...

    Which wax do you all use?

    Waxpert wax is amazing. As a previous poster put its lovely to have a complete brand. The quality of the product is amazing and make waxing treatments a joy to do. Client feedback has been amazing too. I have been using it since September 2015 and never looked back.

    I'm baffled with manicures

    Your best bet would be to telephone SweetSquared and ask their advise (if you're UK based). The Spa Marine pedicure range is one of their original ranges as is the almond manicure range. I use these both currently. The new citrus and gardenia can be used for both manicure and pedicure. The...

    CND Shellac Future Fuchsia

    I know some pink CND shellac colours fade but I was so shocked at how Future Fuchsia has faded (picture attached). My client went to Benidorm for a long week & said her fingers and toes faded on the first day. I almost can't quite believe how unstable it is! At least they faded evenly but still...

    Employment problems

    Thanks so much for the advise everyone. I put the job on the job centre website and indeed picked it up. I had a girl apply within a week and she's perfect. Like a mini me! Needs a little extra training and nurturing but I can get that sorted and enjoy some time off once bubs arrives! Massive...

    Waxperts conversion

    Your trainer will go through pricing with you as part of the training. If they don't then just ask the question and get them to help you work out a pricing structure. I don't charge any more for using Waxpert as its actually working out more cost effective than the last brand I used. My bikini...

    Waxperts conversion

    Yes you're taught all the intimate techniques on the conversion. You start by doing a basic bikini wax then extended, so just beyond the knicker line, then inbetweeny, which is half way between basic and Brazilian, then knickers are whipped off and you do a Brazilian and then full Hollywood...

    End of year account and stocktake?

    My accountant sorts my tax return so I'm a little clueless on that front! I guess I'll have to double check with my accountant. Just didn't know if I needed retail stock value as well as stock used for treatments?! I'm guessing both. Thanks though.

    End of year account and stocktake?

    I am doing my stocktake for my end of year accounts and I get so confused! Do I just do retails stock or do I need to work out consumable stock which I use for treatments too, as that too has a stock value? Thanks in advance. X

    Waxperts conversion

    I did the waxpert conversion course last September and it was a fab course! We used the strip and hot wax and covered face (including ears and nostril), underarm, legs and bikini from basic through to Hollywood. I hadn't done intimate waxing before and found their teaching techniques really...

    Do cluster lashes ruin your own lashes?

    How about trying a natural lash treatment like LVL. I personally don't like the feel of wearing lashes and the last time I had express lashes done my lashes took months to recover. If choose LVL and a good mascara (Jane Iredale's longest lash mascara is amazing!) any day over any kind of lashes! X
