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...

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...

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...

Just wondering what normal procedure is for for HD brown patch testing? I've never had them done but I just got the patch test which involved a lot of dye being out on my skin and then being told not to wipe it off for 24 hours. When I go for my hair it's usually a small blob, then they wipe it...

Hi all Just wondering which treatment you offer that gives you the highest margin in your beauty salons? Not necessarily the most popular one, but the one you do that has the least costs and most profit with it. I know we can't mention prices but if you could just name the treatment please. I'm...

Me again! So after a lot of research I think I've decided to buy a Maxi Mist tanning machine (the evolution one looks good). I am still not trained. As I'm completely new to tanning, I'm just wondering, if I decide to train with Moroccan tan for example, will the trainers show me how to use...

can anyone share their experience on the 1) Pro V 2) PEB-L2 3) PEB-L ELITE machines? I want a small machine that I can carry easily, and that won't let me down. Realiable and compact! Any thoughts on other machines will be well received also

I'm looking into spray tan training. I've had fake bake 60 minutes done on me quite a bit and I love it. But I can't get much info from them. I've asked them to send me an email (I like a paper trail!) of what's in the training but I haven't received it yet. I've also asked what kit they are...

Hi everyone I'm seriously thinking of doing lvl training. Unfortunately all the before and after pics I've seen show the clients eyes with their lashes all clumped together. Like for example, in the first pic theirs lashes are individually fanned out and in the second they all have 5:6 lashes...

Just wanting to add another service to my usual nails. I was thinking brows or LVL lashes. Those of you who have both, which would you recommend? LVL is a lot cheaper than HD brows but if it's not as popular a service I may as well just cough up the cash for the brows. I work part time from home...

Does anyone know when this is going to come out for 2016? I don't want to miss it!! Any inside info from S2?!

So a few weeks ago my hairdresser gave me a curly blow dry. The curls were dropping almost as soon as she had taken the brush out (this happens all the time to all poor hairdressers who try and give me a bouncy blowdry!). Anyway she used the ghd curve tong on my hair to lock in the curls and it...

I'm looking for something new to add to my treatment list, something that won't take up a whole lot of space so I thought of HD Brows (or a cheaper equivalent!!). I want something that is well branded like HD or Billion Dollar Brows. On every single thread here on brows there are the usual 'Go...

Hi there Can anyone tell me if the above colour needs to be mixed? Love the shade but I need a very minimal effort brand! There isn't much information available on the application process. Thank you

This may be a silly question but hey, I'm still learning! When you have been asked for a full spa manicure and a shellac, what order do you do it in? My instinct tells me I should do the shellac process and then do the manicure process after. to avoid getting any creams or oils on the nails...

Hi everyone I'm new to shellac and am about to purchase my lamp. I can choose between the old and new one. I was all set to buy the new one but after some research on here I see some people had issues with it last year when it first came out. I'm just wondering have these issues been rectified...

First thread posted prematurely! So I've finally got round to booking myself on a course to learn shellac. I've booked on the above mentioned course. It has great reviews but I'm a little worried about one thing specifically! Will they expect me to be very good at painting nails already? I do...

Hi all, I'm new to this and I'm planning on doing a nail tech course during the summer. There are two reasons I want to do it-1)because I spend a fortune on it and 2)because I'm really bad at doing my nails! What I'm now worried about is, what if I do the course and I'm still painting cuticles...
