You are right, this forum is to help and advise and if the help and advice does not come up to your expectations then I am sorry but we are all adults and say it as it is. If you feel that you are being unfairly criticised or treated disrespectfully then you ought to report the Geek that is doing this.
There is a lot of snipey comments on here and unfortunately most of them seem to be from Geeks that have not been with us for very long. You need to understand that we are here to help and sugar coating our comments will not be of any great help to you or anyone else, we are not mean, we don't take pleasure in upsetting people or making things unpleasant, we are here to answer questions and give our advice and opinions. We are professionals and can not condone the use of DIY beauty products. How are we going to help you if you go and buy over the counter products? Go to Boots or Superdrug and aske their advice!!!!!
Our advice will always be to go to a professional to get the problem sorted. If you dont like the advice, then maybe you need to ask different questions or ask elsewhere.
We are all passionate about our industry and carreers and love to see new Geeks join us and become part of the extended community, dare I say extended family. We have our little arguments and disagreements and we always make up and carry on with new respect for each other and above all we still keep learning from each other. I do hope that the ones that are choosing not to post on here will return and realize that any personal attack or criticism not what we aim to do on here, try to re-read these posts and try to see them from the other person's perspective. You may find that it was a misunderstanding all along.:hug:
