What would you charge as a mobile nail tech to go out to fix one broken nail extension. I charge £55 for the whole set so thinking of charging £10, as its my time etc. What do you guys think?

Hi, I work as a mobile nail tech and currently store xlient records in paper form in a lockable cabinet. However I would like to change to storing electronically. Can I store in a file on my phone? Any info is much appreciated. I'm having a hard time finding what I need on the Internet. Thanks

Haha you're spot on with the talking! I whizz through them when I'm not distracted. To be honest, I'm pretty good with timings, I was just thinking that I could save even more time with a quicker system. I'm mobile so time is especially valuable. Thanks so much for your time Trinity 😁

Yes, you have a good point there Trinity. Thank you. I will look at those brands anyway, but probably best to just get quicker with application really

Hi there, are there any brands of gel polish that require just 1 coat of colour in addition to base and top coat of course? Just looking if there is anything that may save time with application. TIA

Hey there, I use Halo gel polish for my clients. I'm quite new in this field and wanted to give it a go, and I havent been disappointed at all. It's a really lovely gel to use and I've had a lot of clients so far, and none of them have had any issues with it at all. Most of my clients are...

Hey everyone, I'm currently working as a mobile nail tech and I want to add in waxing to my list of services. Does anyone know if there are any online level 2 waxing courses that I can start? I live in Jersey and unfortunately there is nowhere that offers waxing training and family life makes it...

Hey lovely, I do the gels before any of my treatments just to make sure there is nothing left on the nail that could cause lifting 😁

Hi Trinity, thanks for your time I replying. Yeah, this is what I thought it was. I've advised her to leave it be whole it grows out, and to my use normal polish if really really needed. I've just read the info you've sent and it corresponds so thank you 😁

I saw a new client yesterday and I had to remove someone else's shellac nails. When the gel came off the two index fingers were green y underneath where the gel had been,all of the other fingers were dry and brittle underneath the gel. She had them on for 5 weeks and has always used the same...

Hi there, I started off on Instagram and got lots of my clients that way, but now I'm on facebook and I'm getting a really good response. However, I'm in Jersey and there are very few mobile nail techs so that's probably why I'm getting a decent amount. Are you hashtagging your specifics which...

Thank you Trinity, I really appreciate advice from you 😁 just what I wanted to hear. And, I certainly will xx

Hey, is there any way to add another layer of colour gel polish after the top coat has been cured. I did a clients nails yesterday, but in the daylight she has checked them and she would like another layer to make it more opaque. I'm fine with this, but before I completely remove all and...

Hi, yes I completed an online course via New Skills Academy. It provided me with an accredited certificate when the course was completed. I also found an insurance company called insync that covers me with this qualification on a mobile basis. Before I started up as mobile, I did however keep up...

Thanks for the reply. She thinks is it was bio gel, but couldn't be 100% sure. She told me they applied something then painted over that with the colour. The other toes removed fine, it was just the toenails that seemed so thick with product and hard to remove. I used acetone and foil, not the...

Thank you so much for your reply, I'll have a look at that and contact her. Yes, it's a nightmare as I charge very little for the removal of others gel, but lately it's just taking so long. Again, thank you for your time replying xx 😁

I soak my clients feet for just 5 mins first, then I go on to do the prep then gel nails, then I do the rest of the pedi. X

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice.... I've recently had two clients book in for gel nails, but they've had bio gel on which I've had to remove. It seems to take forever to get off, especially the toenails which seems to be so think and hard to take off. Im using the soaking in acetone...

Thanks for your response, I am going to try and keep to 2 coats, or if 3 are really necessary I'll just have to file more off. I'm not a fan of an e file just yet so I'm sticking to the good old filing ha 😁

Hey, I've checked with manufacturer and I just think it's because I've applied 3 coats. I dont have any issues normally, so I think more filing is necessary if 3 coats are applied. However, I am trying to keep it to just 2 coats 😁
