    Yes I'm using yes to carrots, the cheap gel from Tesco and cantu curl activating cream. My scalp is driving me nuts though so might switch to low poo instead as not sure cowashing is agreeing with me xx

    What treatments did you cut out when pregnant?

    What about renting your space out to someone who will do completely different treatments to what you do so there is no conflict with your clients? Xx

    What treatments did you cut out when pregnant?

    She was my first too so I get what you mean, I found it hard to plan as had no idea how I'd be feeling. Second trimester I was feeling great and felt like I'd be able to keep going for ages. If your clients are supportive that's great so then you can just play things by ear and change your plans...

My little girl is 15 months now and only in the last few months have I felt ready to get back into it. I had a long recovery from the birth, a baby that was...

    Doing toes whilst pregnant!

    Can you get them to lay/sit on a beauty couch if you have one? If they position themselves so feet at the end and you sit on a stool at the end you don't have to bend and it'll be comfy for your back and belly too xx

    When to start maternity leave?

    I only do waxing now and was wondering about whether to cut back even further, a Hollywood/braz doesn't take much effort on its own but I have a few clients that come in for everything to be waxed so full leg, Hollywood, underarms, brows etc and those appointments absolutely kill me! X

    Eyelash tinting

    You can always trim the shields to make them fit the shape of the eye better. I was taught this when I did my tinting training with Nouveau. I also dampen them slightly and put petroleum jelly underneath to help keep them in place.
