    Help with hair extensions (sticky bonds)

    I know where the extensions came from. They are from xtensions.co.uk, she has had a look at them n suggested they be removed as they can't have maintenance. They seem to be shot from heat. I didn't turn my hair dryer down far enough and when I was making my natural hair on top big I was using...

    Random gifts from clients

    Oh my! A cockerel loose in the reception area cracked me up. I've only ever received meals (I'm mobile) and chocolate. Although one client did offer a reading, which I declined but against my wishes said I was expecting twins or 2 babies close together (she was right, I did have 2 pregnancies...

    Help with hair extensions (sticky bonds)

    I've tried to add a picture, this is a bond I lost in the first week. it's the silicone/plastic bit under the ring I'm finding sticky.

    Help with hair extensions (sticky bonds)

    I have been very careful with heated tools, I turned my hair dryer down to the lowest one before cold. They were fine until I washed with my hair extension care kit and when they were wet they were shocking! Once dry they are slightly tacky. I might just pop back into the salon so my hairdresser...

    Help with hair extensions (sticky bonds)

    Ah I do apologise, I don't know what I'm talking about lol. its the tip part that the micro ring is attached to that's gone sticky. They are the plasticy but at the end n because they are U shaped I assumed they were U tips.

    Help with hair extensions (sticky bonds)

    hey geeks, I wondered if anyone with hair extension experience could advise me please as I haven't heard back from my extensionist. I had micro ring extensions fitted around 2 weeks ago, I've just washed my hair with the extension care shampoo and conditioner that I was advised to use and I...

    Advice with dealing with this?

    Think that's the best thing to do. Usually when doubts start with kids they are on their way to working it out anyway. Least the parents can't blame you for ruining a childs magical view of the world or whatever lol.

    Clients being pushy

    I'd want to send a text saying: "This is an auto-response, I am away from my phone right now and will be in touch shortly" probably very unprofessional though so explain to her you can only deal with hair related messages at certain times of the day and ignore anything that comes through after...

    Trouble in love-life

    I've been in a similar situation, won't go into detail but it does get messy if you drag it out. Think u have made peace with the fact u aren't that into him, better to knock it on the head now before he gets any grand ideas that things are really going somewhere and ends up hurt. Going back was...

    Enforcing a no-children policy in a salon?

    To be honest not ALL mums will just sit there while a child touches/spills/breaks things. Just a few passive parents might not be bothered. Mind you I don't like kids either, I love my 3 because they behave n if they don't I can threaten to steal their phone chargers for a week. Just put up a...

    Waist trainers

    Oh well that's me out then lol I have a latex allergy, but my waist is 24 inches anyway. Although that might be different since I had surgery n not been able to gym. I didn't realise there was a difference between a waist trainer and corset. Interesting discussion though.

    Waist trainers

    If my sister tried to get my 11 year old to try waist training I would deck her. I have an almost 11 year old n she is just stunning the way she is. Sorry but as a mother of daughters that makes me quite sad n a little angry tbh. No 11 year old should be trussed up in a corset ever.

    Waist trainers

    Isn't there an exercise that can be done to just tone up and firm etc instead of using a corset? Or am I missing something? Bothers me when I see it in the extreme because, what does it do to internal organs? I saw a woman in a magazine with a supposed 16 inch waist! Looked scary as her hips and...

    Sick days?

    We had one like this in my old job, drama all the time. It got old, fast. She was sacked in the end and went around telling people it was because our team leader fancied her and she turned him down so he got her sacked! Hmm ok then.

    Full lips enhancers

    Aww I shouldn't laugh ..... 😂😂😂 bless her. This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Reminds me of being a kid and sucking a cup to your face and panicking when it won't come off! Or was that just me? Lol. I have a thin top lip and a normal bottom one so I just draw my...
