Can you explain how they give you a bigger profit margin on the service? If they are returning to have their shellac redone, surely you would remove it and they wouldnt do it themselves before they see you.or am I wrong?

Sorry, have now read rest of thread and you answered my question about most of your clients having shellac removed by you.

I have a client who now lives up north and travels to me every 6 weeks to get her nails done... She's been gutted at her last 2 appointments as I haven't been able to get any in! She's had to go shopping at Sally's for acetone, and bless her is using tin foil and cotton wool - says she feels cheap because the Remove Tubes are 'classy'!

Also, I'm totally out of pinkie bottles of solar oil - although some clients are switching to the 15ml bottles, and it works out cheaper for them to buy one instead of 4 pinkies, some think it's a huge price leap and wont buy it... Therefore, aren't using it.

Pleeeeeaase can we have some products soon?

Xx

I was lucky enough to get in there when they last had some in but have yet to retail as I wast sure on the correct RRP, I thought it was more than £10, especially as it includes a solar pinkie for £3.95 plus the rest.

I take it these kits could be used for more than one removal as there is a serious amount of Dsolve in there but lack or wraps?

How would you retail these? Would you say they could be used more than once?

Thankyou

You could always buy the bigger packs of wraps & sell them ten at a time if they still have enough DSolve left. Thats what I'd do if I could ever get hold of the tubes

Good thinking, although it seems a little odd retailing them that way. Hopefully Geeg can help me out! If she sees this.
I want to start sellin them but it does seem to me there is enough for more than one removal .....

Along with Remove Tubes, we retail the nice 10 packs of CND Remover Wraps and we offer to refill their small bottle of D.Solve when they run out, for a small price. They do not have to buy the whole Remove Tube Again.

To be honest, we mainly sell the RT for holiday use. All clients come to the salon for removal in the main.

I made my own up.
I buy voile bags and put 50 maji wraps in along with 5 orange sticks, a bottle of d-solve and a mini solar oil.
They look really classy in the bags. I use either black or burgundy bags. Will have to take a pic and post!

Oooo that's a great idea! Do you buy mini bottles of dsolve or fill up little 100/200ml bottles? x

I put a bottle of the 250ml d solve in.
We charge an extra £5 for removal. The bags will give them enough to remove 5 sets so if you retail for £15 then the client is saving money and you are saving some time.
