I think it should be separated too. I love reading all about nails, i felt like i was picking through PB. If it had is own section i would have be alot happier.

I will reserve judgement as my subscription does not expire until August.
We (as a nails industry) fought really hard to have a stand alone qualification in nails. We did not want it to be an afterthought of the beauty qualification.
Surely this is now a backward step with the magazine. As I said in my reply to the other thread on this, I think there should be a beauty section, a "business" section and a nails section. This way we can all benefit from the business advice and read the sections we are interested in rather than having to pick out a bit from this page and then another little bit from the next page etc.
As to the Insider bit, although it was interesting to read - I was confused - if I am right in thinking they were comparing nail salons, beauty salons and spas. Lots of nail salons have one person whereas spas have many therapists - this is not comparing apples with apples in my opinion. If they had clarified it and included say average numbers of staff then it would have been more usable.

I didn't like it either. I can see the benefit if you also offer Beauty Treatments, but there wasn't enough Nail related articles for my liking. I agree the business features are good, but not good enough to retain my subscription.

Hated it too ....massive disappointment and certainly won't be renewing my subscription. I too enjoyed PB but to me, this new magazine is generally about beauty (and a lot of ads) with the 'odd' snippet of nail info.
