Evening all, Just was interested to hear people's experiences of starting back at work after having their first babies. Did you go back full or part time? And how was it juggling the actual work hours plus the admin with looking after your baby and house etc the rest of the time? I was working...

Hi geeks, I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and already struggling with work, I have a home salon and focus mainly on waxing treatments. For those of you with kids when did you start your maternity leave and how long did you take off? At the beginning I thought I would work right up to my due...

Just after a bit if reassurance that I did the right thing. Client wanted LVL and I've said that it's prob not the best option for her. You couldn't see her lashes at all when she was looking straight ahead, only when she's looking down and they were very very short. Would you have carried out...

Twice this week I've received texts (from two different clients) that weren't meant for me. One client texted me asking if where her sweets were! Have you had odd or funny texts off clients that shouldn't have been sent to you?

Have any of you signed up with the above to become a venue? I have been contacted today by them and would love to hear your experiences. Not sure if I misunderstood but there didn't seem to be a catch and seems like it could be valuable for a new business like me to attract clients? (For those...

I love looking at houses on rightmove and often think about moving a bit further out, maybe a seaside town or somewhere in the middle of nowhere. If you could, what area in England/wales would you move to?

Anyone going to the Nouveau live events? I've just booked to go to the Chelmsford one next Monday!

Hi all, I have the agenda record cards for nails and waxing treatments so got the agenda record box (the plastic one) to keep these in. But now I also use the Sienna X and LVL cards which are slightly larger and these don't fit in the box. Have looked in stationery type places but can't find...

One of my regulars has been having spray tans using Sienna x 8%. This week she asked to go darker so we used 10% but she's said it's come out even lighter than usual. Has anyone else experienced this? She's asking for a respray too. Not sure if I should respray with 8 or 10 either. Any advice...

Hi all, have been searching through lots of old threads but couldn't find what I was looking for. I have a home salon and now summer is here I have started to do more spray tans. Sometimes I'm doing only doing two or three tans in a week and occasionally there are times I've been doing three or...

Seen loads of posts on here about geeks joining networking groups so was hoping to get some tips. Am attending a networking breakfast this week and would love to hear what has worked for you, things to say, things to avoid saying etc TIA xx

I've just signed up yesterday to go to a wedding show so don't have much time to prepare for it. I've read loads of great threads on here so have got a few ideas but was wondering if I need to organise a roller banner or poster for my table? Going to be restricted with time as it's Easter so...

Has anyone been contacted about the New Look promotion for customers winning vouchers for free spray tans?

Someone has come to me and asked for help, he has bitten his nails terribly for years and wants me to do something to help him. I have seen loads of nail biter threads on here but no man hands lol! Has anyone done anything like this for the guys? Thanks in advance xx

My South African husband is getting the barbecue ready, first one of the year - and he mowed the lawn yesterday. Can't believe how busy all the parks are round here everyone seems to be in a summery mood it's so nice! What's everyone else doing in the sunshine today? ☀️😃

What do you charge if someone is coming to have their shellac taken off but is having a file and polish rather than a re-shellac? Would you charge your soak off price or just for the file and polish as they are coming back for something else? Thanks xx

I was growing my hair for my wedding last year and it's now really long! I have had extensions in for the last few months to add volume as naturally my hair is really fine. Now the extensions are out I'm thinking about getting a long bob. Do you think this is a good idea, will cutting it short...

I have a client coming tomorrow for LVL lashes and Billion dollar brows and trying to work out what's the best order to carry out these treatments. Would you do the lashes or brows first? Thanks x

I had a new client last Friday for shellac and I really really stupidly forgot to use scrub fresh. On Tuesday she texted saying one had lifted and could she come in on Friday and have them redone. As she's a family friend I'd like to make sure she comes back again so I said of course. Being...

Downloaded some ichill music yesterday and absolutely loving it. My client left half an hour ago but I'm still sitting in my treatment room. It's far too relaxing!
