    Alternative to Bio Sculpture

    If you've been trained with Bio and going out on your own as long as you can prove you did your training with them(certificate etc.) they should sell their products to you? I have tried other gels but always came back to Bio as I found it the best soak off gel. I find it is worth the extra price.

    Bio Sculpture training

    Bio Sculpture won't sell you their products unless you've been trained by them.

    How to word it?

    Yes, I agree. No harm in explaining. You would be surprised how many clients don't know what sculptured extensions are. Most clients I've had thought all extensions were glued on tips so were amazed when I explained I actually build the nail extention on a form with gel so now I have an...

    Difficult Clients

    Thanks Unique12u - I decided it just wasn't worth having her as a client if it meant her making me feel this way/treating me like this so I sent her a polite message and offered to recommend other nail techs in her area etc. Being the kind of person she is I didn't even get an...

    Difficult Clients

    Thanks all for the replies. Yes, eventhough I hate confrontation I think I better bite the bullet and try to be firm with her next time. I really like that Dr Phil quote - it's exactly what is happening. Thanks, gals.x

    Difficult Clients

    Have any of you ever had a client you wish wouldn't come back? All of my clients are great and I love my job usually but recently I have had a new client come to me and she is really difficult. She is very rude to me(speaks really badly to me), rushes me through a set of nails(i.e. I do Bio gel...

    Thanks, Sandi. What grit buffer do you use in your Brisa removal?

    Brisa removal for Bio Application

    Hi Guys I am a Bio Tech but have a new client next week who already has Brisa on her nails applied by another tech. She wants this removed and then Bio put on instead. Bio is a soak off and I believe from all the threads I have read on here that Brisa would just be buffed off. How long would...

    Gel - infill or soak off?

    Thanks for all the input on this thread. :-) The reason why I asked is that I was taught (by Bio Sculpture Gel) to infill once i.e. after about 3 weeks then on the next visit say about week 6 to then soak off. But obviously as some have mentioned above it depends on the individual client, if...

    Gel - infill or soak off?

    For those techs who specialise in Gel, do you do infills or do you prefer to soak off and start again? (Especially with Bio or Calgel?) Thanks.

    French Tip Dip

    Hi - So how did this go when you had your practise session on your friend? Was it too good to be true and should we rather stick to the old fashioned way? :-)

    Sculpting forms

    Bio Sculpture don't teach with or even sell clear nail forms, only the gold&black or reusable silver forms. This is how we are taught at Bio Sculpture and the gel cures correctly everytime so I have never needed to switch to clear forms. Maybe, like with other things there are different...

    Coloured Gels?

    I've tried others but still love my Bio Sculpture Gels - huge range of colours and soak off.:)

    What nails are you wearing at the moment?

    Purple Bio Sculpture Gel extensions/overlays with a glittery top. The glitter always attracts people's attention and they always then ask where I get my nails done! Like someone else mentioned - walking advertisement:).

    Mobile foot rest?

    :lol:Sorry to sound stupid but when you say 'couch' what do you mean? I am also a mobile tech and I usually sit on the floor with the clients feet on my lap but it's not very comfy for me or them?

    Christrio gel laquer

    Hi I've never used it but had a client the other day who said she used to get Christrio Gel on her nails and loved it as it didn't budge or need a fill for almost 4 weeks and she love the shine. I hadn't heard about it until she mentioned it(my main thing is Bio Sculpture) but she got me...

    Le Chat soak off white?

    So would you say that Le Chat's Nobility is as 'soft/flexible' as Bio Sculpture- how do they compare to each other?(other than the price difference). I am looking for something a bit harder than Bio Sculpture and looking at certain posts it would seem that nobility is quite similar to Bio so I...

    Stress from MMA acrylics

    Yes, I had a client a while ago who was told at the nail bar that she was getting gel but when she asked me to soak them off they would not budge. It took 3.5 hours for me to file them off and I had a bad reaction to whatever it was and my fingers came out in what looked like burns with...
