SHELLAC - BEAUTY ACADEMY 114

The Shellac fun & games continues. See precious blogs about The journey & Shellac.
Today Beauty Academy 114 surpassed themselves, with being disorganised, con artist  and down right rude. I have had no reply to my emails or texts. After they have postponed my training session 4 times. I received a text saying that the session would be on Sunday 30th at 10 am. Even though I had no response I still went to the appointment. Why? To prove that I am justified in asking for my money back. What a shambles. All in the aid of CPD with Shellac coloured gel system. Have I got anything good to say about them
...
Don't ask; maybe I should refrain from comment. I will leave it till  I am not traveling from an appointment that did not happen - again - without explanation.
This is a picture of the front door to Beauty Academy 114. I think that a picture  says it all!!!

BEAUTY SALON RESOUCES

As you know the treatment area of The B Room is closed and safely packed away in storage, but there is always a need to have resources close to hand; for those die-hard clients that don't care if your hanging off the edge of a cliff - they want their treatment. These clients have cash and they know who they want to do their treatment - me.

This will be a one off service for a loyal customer. No need to go to storage and root through boxes, so I'm going to pick up a couple of bits. I have my tools, but no products. It's a Saturday when most 'real' beauty wholesalers are closed. It is the worst day to stock-up.
The salon suppliers [I can not bring myself to call them wholesalers] that are open on a Saturday usually have limited/obscure  stock and charge £'s more for the inconvenience.

I am on the high street and pleased to find a range of products from back in the day, when nail extensions were just for the rich and famous [at least that's what the general public thought]. Kiss Salon Results.

I have found the products I need, acrylic liquid, powder and acetone. It's a mine field out here when it comes to pricing. In an attempt to help the un-initiated I have put together a chart showing the difference in prices. Do not be fooled by set's being put together for your convenience. Very often they include products you do not need. Meanwhile the products that you would really need are sold separately. This bumps up the price. Keeping in mind I am doing a one off client I need the products to be below the price I  will earn. Yes it is true that the 9g's of powder will probably make 4 sets of nails but we want the profit now, not 6 months time.

Remind me next time to go to storage and get the resources that have been sitting there for 4 months. It would be worth the effort. Peeps be careful out there when you are buying resources it really is a mine field!!

NEGATIVE ENERGY

The Olsen twins want you to pay £12 for sticks. They have developed a selection of bound herbs, usually consisting of sage and rosemary, which when burned are said to rid your house, or any area you've chosen, of negative energy. 

Read about it in this week Stylist. Proof that you can make business out of anything...

SHELLAC NAILS

It feels like a long time since I mentioned the journey to Shellac. What I neglected to say was my appointment was postponed. It had been postponed from 7th to the 14th. After travelling there for 2 hours (early morning) I was then informed there were not enough people attending, so I was booked in for 17:30 on the same day. At 16:00 I received a text postponing my appointment for the Monday, which was - you guess it - yes... postponed!
I have been re booked for 30th. Bang slap in my church time. Is this a test? I ask myself. I have been amazingly patient. Keeping in mind this is not to get my nails done, but to be taught the properties, features and benefits and how to apply colour uv gel.  Plus I paid for this course months ago.
Coloured gels are not new. I was at the Bonner Brothers show in Chicago in 1989 and brought back a selection of coloured gels.
Hence why I've been so patient. It's paid for and I'm curious. What could be the difference between now and then? Shellac is on everyone's lips. Is it a great advertising/marketing campaign or is there a reason to be excited? This semi permanent nail colouring technique has been around for decades.
Listen out for the feed back. After Sunday morning.
