Well this was super interesting! (If not a little tiring to read! Haha) I think cost and education are actually very big issues in this (except for cleanliness which is pure laziness!) Well if it's still a 'well-known' company which offers very affordable training and products compared to...

I used to rent tables a few years ago when I first began. My first salon was great and she had a receptionist and would always warn me in advance if there she not going to be in. This was rare but I didn't mind becuase she was a good caring boss. The second salon boss expected the same as...

This really bugs me too, I actually found 2 local technicians who had other people's work on their website too - but the only reason I know this is because I now have their clients who told me they were rubbish! 1 of them promoted herself as a Star Nails trainer and took 4 hours on an infill...

Hi Geeks, I'm sure this has been answered many times but I can't find it anywhere on here, just need some advice please! I don't really like CND's pinks for the manicures, they are too light, my fave is Rose water, but again too light. I can't seem to find a really nice 'full healthy pinky'...

Oh cool, thanks so much! I guess they must be doing something if they're going to have 'exclusive show buy-in offers.' I think it might be worth making the trip just in case then! :) Thanks again! :hug:

It is always worth doing a special offer to gain some practice as long as you make it clear you are practicing hence the price. I never like to do these special offers for practice to new clients because I always feel they wouldn't be happy once the price goes up! Friends and family are always...

There is no need to worry :hug: Beginners and experienced techs have this problem I think! Just be sure never to avoid polishing because you are worried! Mainly it will come down to technique and practice but if you make a mistake and, lets say, the polish pools a little into the cuticles...

Hello All! I know you don't like repeat threads so i'm sorry in advance if it is! But I can't seem to find the info I need so I hope someone can help please! I am just wondering if CND are going to have any sort of offers on at Februarys Excel for the Shellac & the Minx?? I know most likely...

It's a lovely first website, but Home pages with loads of writing always put me off to be honest. I hate scrolling and scrolling and scrolling! I know it's really hard to cut down but I personally would keep the first 3 paragraphs and that's it. I would place the rest of the remaining...

wow so much to it! Thank you so much! I didn't think into great detail about what else it would involve like homework etc tbh! At least I know what to expect and can have a good think on it now and start somewhere. Thanks again! :hug:

I have tried it and found it hit and miss tbh. Loyal clients will always stay loyal if you provide a professional service. I felt like I lost out financially, but when I stopped it no one left me, everyone was just as happy and understood when I explained to them. If you want to try it, just...

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone could help please! I love doing nails but may need to give it up because of circumstances at home :( I am a home based salon and was just about to revamp the whole place for Christmas but may have to give it up for good instead! :cry: I did a beauty course a...

Hi Cirrus, I have been having laser hair removal for a few years now and highly recommened it, but you do need to do your research first! I have been to 4 different places to have it done (which does not sound good I know!) They were all for IPL and now i'm going to have actual Laser done...

Hiya, I got mine too and wanted to show all the effects. I use one of those colour pop stand up displays. (You can get them from Ebay for about £10-£15 for a 64 display set.) I did this with the old Creative collection and clients love the fact that you can pull them out to see how they'd look...

I do both but l&p on hands & gel on feet. (I just can't work at all well with gel on fingernails!) I also have a few people asking for gel when they first ring and I always ask 'why?' normally it's the same rubbish 'its better for your nails' etc but a new one I had was 'well my nails will be...

Those susan loasby's nails look lovely!! Yes I need to start trying things out - I do hate drawing but glow in the dark sounds fun! Bobble eyes, only for my knitting thanks! lol I did do a search on here and google for halloween nails but nothing much came up :( Do they not do a halloween...

Pro Styler for me too, I love it, keep my old one for glitter nails and my spanking new one is just perfect! I tried the "big people's" Ultra Sculptor and couldn't use it to save my life!

Hello happy people! (Or mostly happy!) I am totally obsessed with holloween and wanted to finally do my nails for the occasion! I don't know what I'm gona dress up as this year (but might be a witch cos that's just easy!) So want nails to match! I want them long! I mean really really REALLY...

So you could call me greedy because I sold my stuff on Ebay?? lol - Yes, my business was in a position of going under, but no, I was being greedy and thought - oooh, look at all that tonnes of money I could make!!! But yes it was about money, but because I really needed it. And if that makes...

I think this will have to be one of those "agree to disagree" situations. I think ALOT of people buy & sell from on Ebay off this site but are too embarrassed to admit to it. I buy and sell off of Ebay and after 4 years of trading - touch wood - I have never had a problem. I had a bad stint...
