You CAN ... but it is not adequate and takes much longer .. nor does it look as professional as using the recommended tools.

I agree with Geeg.
I have been using a hair dryer whilst waiting for my lamp and it does take longer as you have to stop what you are doing to heat up the minx. At least with the lamp, you can leave the minx to heat up and get on with your treatment xxx

I tried it once - and blew all the minx all over my room.........fortunately I was practising on a friend:lol:

You can use any infrared lamp that is 150 watt hun. I got mine for about £12 and it does the job fab and is also good for my bad back. So have killed two birds with one stone. xxx

Hi Kylieb can you tell me where you got your lamp from?

I agree with what gigi has said, it doesn't look very professional to use a hairdrier on paying clients, you would be better of paying for the right tools. Xx
