    Anybody?

    Pink eye, eyelash extensions

    Went to new place for lash extensions and regretting it! I have a red patch on my eye inside my bottom lid, it’s not an allergic reaction but what I believe is a minor chemical burn from the fumes when my eye must have got into contact with it. It’s not painful, it stung when I opened my eyes...

    Blow dry bar

    Never heard of it. I’ll look into it, thanks. Incidentally, there goes my potential business name which I thought was very clever and totally original! Oh dear! :oops:

    Blow dry bar

    Yes that’s very true. I know a few mums who love the escapism of their weekly blow dry for sure. This is showing me that I’m probably in the minority! I just like to get it over with quickly, no fuss and just have nice hair for the week!

    Blow dry bar

    Never even thought of that, I’m sure the day would drag for a stylist with all those skills doing the exact same thing all day every day. Definitely something to think about. Thank you.

    Blow dry bar

    Hi everyone, I’m not currently in the hair industry, I’m trained in the beauty side of things. I’m just wondering, are blow dry bars alone enough to make money? I have a business idea in mind (I have a business degree yet never owned my own business), but as I’m not in the industry those of...

    E file

    It’s really just to try out first, see if I like it. If I do like the idea of it I’ll invest properly. The place I get my nails done (can’t do extensions on my own hands) use a machine called nail master. I’ve seen it on Ali express for next to nothing and the salon is very well regarded...

    CND Shellac course for beginners?

    You'll get everything you need. Only thing I needed was a towel and a little paint brush for tidying up French polish. Lamp, prep products, 3 polishes.

    Gel Bottle prices for training

    Whatever about the other courses, but a conversion course where you’re effectively thinking of leaving another brand to go with them, and basically going to get them more profit and brand awareness, should be a lot cheaper. None of my clients have heard of TGB, they all want CND Shellac. I have...

    Help with very elderly manicure client, “sensitive issue”

    Can you offer vinylux to her instead so it’ll take less time? I know it’s a horrible situation but I don’t think I could bring myself to say anything to her as I’d probably be thinking ‘well she won’t be here much longer.....’ I am a self confessed wimp though!

    The Gel Bottle

    So do you just use the e-file to remove the colour polish, then use an acetone soaked pad to remove the rest? And if you're doing the nails again, you just add more BIAB on top of the old BIAB as an infill, or do you completely remove BIAB and start all over again? I'm just wondering how easy it...

    The Gel Bottle

    That's what I want! I'm sick of chippped nails within a week. I was thinking of ordering BIAB but I was worried that as I don't do extensions etc that I'm not used to the filing method that would need to be used for it. I don't own an e-file, I'd almost be too afraid to use it as I feel unqualified!

    Manicure pricing for a celeb?

    Yes I know! I wasn’t asking, I was just letting people know how sad I am! :D

    Manicure pricing for a celeb?

    Ooooooh, am I really pathetic or is anyone else a little desperate to find out who it is? :D

    The Gel Bottle

    Thank you! Would you recommend it to someone who only works with natural nails? Does it make removal difficult?

    The Gel Bottle

    Hi everyone I am qualified in CND Shellac on natural nails. I don't work with extensions or hard gels. I'm thinking of trying the gel bottle and I'm just wondering if BIAB is a base coat, or is it a gel layer that you would usually use for infills? If it is simply a base coat that can be used on...

    The best tan?

    Ah yeah but sometimes things change, new brands coming out all the time and people’s opinions on products may be different than they were a couple of months ago due to finding something new that works better.

    LVL lashes?

    How long does it take for your eyes to settle afterwards? My eyes are so sensitive too. I want to try lvl as mascara irritates so much but I'm nervous my eyes will just stream, go red and not stop!
