Its on tree view court right by the train station, its called Therapy, its only been open a few months, so u might not have seen it!
It is very very nice though if I do say so myself, my boss trained at Southport college but lives in Maghull.
They dont do acrylics as of yet, but there is someone coming in on the odd day, and she does creative, so im hoping she will let me watch her!

where do all you southport peeps work then??

i work for myself mobile, southport has a lot of salons but there is only a few of us that does mobile in southport

 

[spacebunny64]

There is a ridiculous amount of salons in southport, but to be honest id probably only actually go to two or three of them, as most of them leave a lot to be desired for!
(No names mentioned, but there are a lot!) :lol:
I dont understand why someone would open a salon, and do a half arsed job with exterior/interior...baffles me!!

My friend has her nails done by a mobile tech in southport, not sure what her name is though, but think she uses OPI.
Im thinking about doing mobile spray tanning....not sure yet though, but I dont think anyone really does it in Southport.

go for it, i think there is only one girl that advertises mobile spray tans she is i think the only mobile beauty therapist.
and have only seen a few salons offering it.

opi does seem to dominate southport i think i am the only ezflow tech and and maybe a only few salons offer creative. i think its because opi trains in liverpool somewhere. It does seem though that salons offering opi (this is not slating their products) do offer cheaper enhancemnets,why...i dont know it cheapens the name i think....in southport anyway(cant judge any other area)

im not working at it yet hun, im just training, about to start up as a mobile nail technician, too many salons to consider that and cant why kids are at school anyway

and yeah in southport theres loads of OPI, think your right jo, must be cos, OPI train in bootle , liverpool maybe? theres a creative salon too, but to be honest i think only manageress is creative trained if you know what i mean, and ive been to many of the salons (before i started looking to train for this as a career) and they do indeed leave a lot to be desired, hence why i decided to start this myself, not many mobile as Jo says, and certainly havent seen any mobile tanning, so that would be good for you to do hun,

let us know how you get on

Think I am gona start the tanning, and just see how it goes, just need to get my hands on a spray gun and a tent, its funny tho that the pop up bloody tent costs more than the spray gun!!

I think its a shame that all salons dont work to high industry standards, I think it lets the industry down and wonder why people arent bothered about getting bad names for themselves.
Since going out into industry, I cant believe how many salons never use gloves for waxing!
I was toying with doing OPI myself, before deciding on Creative, the big name courses are a lot of money, but I have only read good things about them and hope its worth the money, at least I can ofiicially put the brand to my name......IF i pass hehe!:green:
