    Filing Hard Skin in Pedicures

    The blade is only very small and unless you are really uncareful with it you will cut someone- you would only use this is someone has severly thick skin!! so you dont really have a chance to cut them if you are careful. If you tried one you wouldnt turn back as you save so much time and clients...

    how did you purchase retail items when starting up

    I would keep a stoke of toughen up too and base/top coats if you deal with natural nails, other wise Solar oil- i dont bother with the minis as i find my profit margins are alot bigger with the 1/2 oz- cucumber heel therapy minis sell really well!!

    polish chipping too easily!

    thats a good tip Sussie but a daring one if they do it too soon as we know clients can be inpatient! , also Creative have a good quick dry spray and sets nails extra quick !!
