    Pre-made volume lashes

    I wouldn't recommend pre made fans tbh, they cost more in the long run and won't look as good as handmade fans, Why do you want to use premade as opposed to handmade?

    Therapist does not respect manager- keeps coming to me

    tbh to me this is sounding like the therapist is the problem. How is the manager going to be able to manage her and have her respect her when you are allowing the therapist to whinge to you and go straight to you with problems or any assignments she was given by the manager. You should be saying...

    Not my work

    I swear by my Nail & Hand Harmony spoon pusher. Pushes EVERYTHING, even what you can't see back in seconds. Obviously if they have horrendous hard cuticles it may take an extra 5 minutes with cuticle away or so to really sort them out but the 30 mins is an average for those with reasonably good...

    Shellac LED lamp

    We have 8 of these lamps and they are amazing. So fast! There are dips in the base for clients to place their fingers so it's not that hard to work, you literally tell them to place their fingers in the grooves.

    Not my work

    10 is for removal alone, The 20 is for file cuticle work and paint. I use an LED lamp and I just paint fast. I could do it in my sleep now.

    Not my work

    If you can't do them in the time frame you booked just tell them?? If someone books for shellac removal and reapply I book out 30 mins. 10 for removal and 20 for paint incl glitter or simple nail art. If they want something more detailed well tough titty they should have said ahen they were...

    How to achieve this, attempt one

    You can see on little fingers of first photo that natural tips were used. You can just barely see the line

    How to achieve this, attempt one

    I did this on my own nails but with gel. Use natural tips, clear acrylic, then paint with a matte nude/pink and apply glitter into tacky later and blend up. The natural tips fills in glitter a bit so it's not so sparse looking. Do 2 coats of glitter of needed. I wouldn't use white underneath the...

    ILAH brows, has anyone done the course?

    On the actual course you work in pairs, they talk you through the theory, then demonstrate on a model, then you work in pairs. For the treatment you get the client to pick from a few stencils which eyebrow shape they'd like. Place the stencil over the eyebrow, apply the tint over it. Leave for...

    ILAH brows, has anyone done the course?

    I did. It was brutal and in my opinion a complete waste of my time and money. I already did tinting and waxing and it was exactly the same thing, nothing different except you use stencils to apply the tint and product. I offered the treatment for a while but dropped it soon after because the...

    New to individual eyelash extensions

    They look fab! Mine deffo didn't look like that right after training! Funny you should mention the marvel lash pads, I recently picked up a pack after I ran out of my usual more expensive ones and found them 10x better! The shape is perfect, they're not too long and aren't as flimsy and dont...

    What are your nail tech pet peeves?

    Oh my god I had this today! I felt like throwing the file at her and saying do you want to do it yourself? Wait til the bloody end to inspect please I don't have time for this sh*t lol

    How can I spot a fake make-up artist?

    I wouldn't bother with asking for 'certificates' some of the best makeup artists in the world didn't go to a training school and were self taught. You can't be taught to be a good artist. I've seen some horrific makeup from girls who paid thousands to train. Like the girls above said, ask for...

    Anyone do mobile or house calls?

    I have a small fold up table from ikea that I keep in the boot of my car, I only use it when the client doesn't have anything suitable but most of the time I just use their kitchen table. I bring a towel to cover it.

    Lash extensions not full enough

    Ok, so first when you're finished are there a lot of natural lashes left without extensions on? If yes then its your speed. If you've just started this is to be expected. Maybe give yourself longer for a while until you speed up. Also worth noting that some people have so many natural lashes...

    Gelish-forgot to dry brush!

    I thought you were supposed to put structure on before colour?? Ive forgotten to dry brush before but I knew straight away because the colour shrunk back because the base was too thick so I could go back and dry brush.

    Shellac lifting-help

    I meant they don't recommend buffing :)

    Help! Shellac removal - what have I done wrong?

    Cut a circle disc of cotton into 4 triangles. (Someone posted a photo above), split the triangles into 2 (cotton discs are usually 2 ply, you don't have to do this but it saves on cotton). Pump some remover into your cotton triangle (I soak them well in it), place triangle over nail, then wrap...

    Stiff waxing client

    Don't be worried about being bossy. At the end of the day you're the expert and know what needs to be where so just tell her where to put her legs. I always say I know it can be a little uncomfortable to keep both legs in this position so if they start to feel sore or shaky just let me know and...

    Can't decide on Waxperts or Lycon on the pain factor

    I've used both and much prefer Waxperts! Particularly the Rosie pearl wax, dries almost instantly and can be used super thin. So very economical.
