I have worked with NSI for nearly 2 decades, I have also been fortunate enough to be part of the testing team for many products. I have never in all my years seen this happen unless the product was contaminated as already mentioned. I would say that someone has accidentally contaminated your...

This is where it's a great idea to have your policies written down and ensure every client is aware of them before you start your service. I have mine written up on wall behind me, in large enough writing that all my clients can read it from their seat and look over my head. I also have it...

I don't post often anymore but I felt compelled to with this thread. After some serious consideration and reading loads of reviews etc, I decided to place an order with Born Pretty Store. Just some nail art stuff and thought I would try their stamping products as I don't have any, my clients are...

I have had the NSI LED lamp since it's release about 3 yrs ago and it is a wonderful lamp. fully cures all 5 nails and I love the auto turn on when the hand goes in. I am very happy with mine.

This problem is (usually) a simple fix....... What gel system are you using? Are you using the UV lamp that comes with that system? What training have you had (who did you train with)? Your post pretty much answers these questions because you say you purchased a Salon Edge UV lamp and it is...

I've used NSI products for many years, my salon is exclusively NSI, I use Attraction, Secrets, Balance and Polish Pro. I love them all and have never had any major issues with anything. My clients are happy with how the products last and wear and so am I, so I have never thought to jump ship to...

NSI have a product called Bond Enhancer, it was developed to work with the PP system. I have worked with PP since it original launch here in Australia (it was launched here first) and I still use it exclusively to this day. I have never had any major problems and never felt the need to look at...

Glad to see that you have had some training as it is critical to your career and the health and well being of potential clients. The questions you are asking in all the threads you have started are issues that would have/should have been covered in your Level 2 training if the training included...

First days in any new job is difficult and yes it does get easier. One way to try and avoid problems with clients running late etc, is to ensure you/the salon has strict policies and that every client that sits at your desk gets a copy and you must ensure that they understand these policies by...

You deserve a holiday, just like any other worker does. You have what you can with the tan appt lady so don't stress about it any further. I am very lucky and have a fellow tech who works in my area and does good quality work that I myself would be happy to wear so we decided to help other out...

Every tech has their own thoughts on children in salons issue. For me, I decided before I had even opened my doors that I was not going to allow children to be in appt's. I spent a very long time getting my salon policies just right and in my policies is a "no children" policy. I basically say...

This scenario is just another reason why I refuse to have FB, I truly am yet to see any full positive results from anybody I know that uses FB for business purposes and this is why I simply will not have it. I would just ignore the tags, there is no law that says you have to do anything...

I would be looking at your primer being too old (which you have already done) Is your monomer ok? Check to see that it is not out of date too or contaminated some how. Check your brush to ensure it is also not contaminated, dip it in some monomer then give it a good wipe across clean white paper...

Glad it worked better for you:) Don't ever give up, there is always a way to fix problems.

It sounds like you are just not using enough product, try using a tad more and try keeping it in the apex area. It is perfectly ok to use the clear over the pink and white and you can use the clear to correctly build your apex. As for the white, try not to play with it too much and keep your...

I have used NSI products for decades now and I am confident it is not the products but I would suggest to stop using acetone to clean your brushes as it will contaminate your brushes and product long term and contribute to a lesser life for your brushes. You should only ever clean your brushes...

Doug to the rescue once again:) This is why he is the best in our industry, he gives us the truth and helps us all become the professionals we should be, by gaining the correct/truthful knowledge about the products and tools we use. As the old saying goes "knowledge is power" and we all need to...

I am an ex Embalmer and funeral director myself and from my own experience I would suggest that your client sticks to having nothing on her nails when working and using regular polish on the off duty times. In my opinion, the issue is due to a couple of things: Wearing gloves for prolonged...

Before opening officially for business, it is a MUST to have your salon policies available for all clients, it's a good idea to hand a copy of policy to client at end of first visit along with after care info. By doing this it will avoid heart ache for tech and clients because having policies...

I also use Switch Funky for some items, I have always found them to be spot on with everything, so it's sad to hear of your issues. I agree though, what has happened is not ok and you should think about talking to management. On the subject of another stockist, I'm sorry I can't help as I don't...
