I have noticed on loads of price list that salons charge between £10 and £20 to remove and tidy the nails, less if a new set is being applied. Is this because it takes a long time to soak off L&P and gels?
Because I use fibreglass, I realise that they soak off a bit quicker than other products. I can usually manage a soak off and tidy within around 20-25 minutes.
I am keen that my clients do not damage their natural nails by pick off their nails either before a new set or just because they want them off for whatever reason. Therefore I only charge £6. This means that I nearly always eventually soak off every set I put on.
Do others who charge much higher prices have a significant percentage of clients who have them soaked off properly? I know I am tight :lol: , but, if I were a client I am sure I would rather risk damage and endure the pain than spend say £15 having them removed. Especially if I was not going to have a new set.
So this is my question: I know we all run businesses and time is money, but if we really care about the health of the natural nail, shouldn't professional removal be very reasonably priced to encourage clients to use it?
Incidentally, I never remove enhancements from other salons - obviously I don't care quite that much about the health of the natural nail :lol:
What do you guys think?
