Solar Oil

[jbeauty]

Hi fellow geeks! Just a quickie please........ i bought Solar Oil from a therapist years ago when i had Acrylics myself.... but have recently qualified as a beautician myself yeah! Just had my Minx training (through Ellisons, bought kit the same day through them) and loved it - just waiting for my kit but want to be using Solar Oil on my clients as I have been using it (yes the same bottle) alot recently on my natural nail and OMG what a fantastic improvement........ not got an account anywhere at the moment... bottle nearly empty......... hence my question, how can i get of of some more or do I have to wait for my certificates... HELP? Suggestions gratefully received as always x:hug:

Hiya. Have you tried phoning ellisons or sweet squared to see if you can buy it without a certificate. If you trained through ellisons they must have a record of you being qualified. Alternatively, maybe you could buy some from a local therapist at retail.

Hi Redduck, no i havent, I'm assuming then it is wholesale only (which is obviously a good thing).... I'll ring Ellisons in the morning.

I'm using it myself morning and night on a natural nail with no polish, but on a client at what stage of a mani, pedi or minx or for that matter Shellac (got my Shellace training on Monday) would you use it?

Sorry if I sound naive - but i am a little.. Even though ive done Beauty Therapy and did enjoy it (although hard work) I really feel nails is the way for me to go....absolutely love it - hands or feet.......... lol x:o

Hiya
Afraid I don't do minx so I don't know when/if you use it for that. I'm being minxed tomorrow so look forward to finding out. I have shellac on my fingernails all the time now and use solar oil daily. They'll tell you all you need to know at the training. Enjoy it! I did mine in Manchester and it was great fun.

Hi again, forgot to say "thanks for replying". Really looking forward to Shellac training - it seems the right way to go:green:. Bit worried about the expense as i just bought by minx kit but hey ho.... Shellac looks great, and worth it and i cant wait!!!! Thanks again!!:hug:

P.S Would you recommend the Acrylic training as well, at some point, I know gluten for punishment :lick:

 

[Redduck]

I've never done acrylic so hopefully someone else can advise you on that. I fell into nails by accident as lots of my elderly clients wanted me to cut their nails when having a holistic treatment but I wasn't insured to cut them. One mani/pedi course later and I was hooked after saying I'd only ever do holistic treatments! Be careful - once you start you never stop!

If you phone the academy where you did your training they might let you order from them as they will know you did the course xx
