Hi All, I've made a mess of my own hair and I'm just after a bit of reassurance that it's at least salvageable without any more damage. I'm a qualified hairdresser but it's been about 8 years since I worked professionally, I mostly just do my own hair and the odd family member now. It...

Hi, Does anyone have any recommendations for a hairdressers offering extensions in the Tameside/Manchester area? I'm qualified myself but for obvious reasons don't want to attempt my own and I'm new to the area so haven't got any idea where to go.

I'm looking for a reputable CND tech nearish to Newcastle centre. I'm a bit disillusioned with the official salon locator as I found my last tech on there and she was not following the CND training. Would much rather go off a good word of mouth recommendation. :)

I know it's not the most interesting thing but I just got my new price lists made and I wanted to show them to someone! Cute and vintage was what we were going for and I love them! :D

All day I've been struggling through work. Even the smallest jobs seem huge today and I haven't been able to let myself sit down because I know I'd fall straight to sleep. I feel like I have a really bad case of the flu but without the coughing and blocked head. I was fine until last night about...

Hi, I'm just after a bit of advice from anyone who has an over 19 apprentice. I'm starting my level 3 but it's my first apprenticeship year so I know I will only get paid 2.68ish per hour. My question is college days, I thought the employer paid a wage for these days as well, my employer wants...

As the title says I'm looking to see what other geeks would do in my situation. I just qualified as a level 2 hairdresser and all the other girls on my course want to go out the night of our last college day and get in their words "trashed". The thing is I hate drinking and really hate going out...

I was at the colour trophy regionals last night and one of the other salons had a blonde model with bright vivid yellow on the ends of her hair. It looked amazing but none of us could figure out what they had used. Yellow mixertone isn't available anymore or at least our salons have been told...

Anyone going? :D

I was wondering if any of you skin geeks had any reviews of Healthy Glow spray tan. A lady I was looking into getting a spray tan from uses this and I'd never heard of it. I'm ghostly white so only want a very subtle tan for a wedding I'm going to.

Anyone else enter this? I coloured my models hair yesterday and we are photographing her tomorrow. So excited!

There's a question that's been bugging me for a while now. I've seen a lot of people bashing colleges and saying that they would never take students from colleges on and that apprentices are the way forward. Is this something that most salon owners feel? Is it just colleges like school colleges...

Bit random but has anyone or does anyone hire a cleaner to come to their house? I've been scouring sites trying to find out how much it would cost to have a cleaner come and do a one off deep clean and cannot find any prices anywhere.

Hi, I'm looking for advice from the L'Oréal geeks. Would you say that a majirel 8.04 would take this blonde to the pale copper of the other photo? I'm coloring my own hair and just want to make triple sure before I do. My natural base is an 8 and I currently have full head bleach highlights.

I was just wanting some advice from some of the more experience hair geeks out there. The company who runs my college has opened their creative team to students this year. I've done my initial application and it's a bit of a long shot but I was hoping that if anyone out there has had any...

Hi Nail Geeks, I did some research after deciding I wanted a shellac manicure and went to the CND website to find a salon near me. I went for my appointment today and I was a bit concerned about some of the preparation so I wanted to check it was right. The girl clipped my cuticles and my...

What do people consider to be a piercing "professional"? To me its the people that use the proper sterilized needle method. Not what they do in Claire's or those terrifying looking guns. I've done a lot of research into this and the needle method to me looks like the safest and most...

but are they bad for your hair? I have Coriolis ones at the moment and I've read up on different brands and a lot of them like cloud 9 have temperature control. This makes sense to me, different temperatures for different hair types. I normally only straighten mine on a really low temp, about...

I stumbled across highlighting foam the other day (procare ultralight foam wraps) and they intrigued me. I did some research and can't find any reviews anywhere. So I was wondering if any of you geeks had used them and what you think of them. :)

Hi Nail Geeks! I have a question that has been niggling away at me for a while so I thought I would come to the experts. I want to treat my mam before Christmas to get her nails done. Apart from a traditional manicure she has never had anything done to them really. However she has very deep...
