I love when my 24 month old daughter is looking for something, like her book, she'll run around singing, "Book, where are you?" Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

Before I was a parent I treated my nieces and nephews the same way I treat my children now. If they were mean to each other they had to sit in timeout then give each other hugs when they got up. If they refused to hug they sat in time out another minute and were told to hug again. I do this to...

My daughter just turned 2 and my son is 8 months. We believe that if another form of punishment, like time out, works then that is what we are going to do. After time out she has to apologise and give the person she wronged a hug. It works great and she is in timeout maybe once a week, usually...

Great advise as always. Yes, I would charge extra for using Shellac. I charge $10 more for a Shellac mani than a regular mani, I would use your prices as a guide for how much of a difference you would charge. Does that make sense? Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

Great tip about the base coat! I'm going to have to try that. Doubtful, but wonder if that would work with Shellac? Something that has helped me keep my white thin is to keep in it in my drawer. I've found that a dark drawer away from heat helps the white to last longer. Sent from my SPH-P100...

What about studio white then moonlight and roses, or cream puff then studio white, or maybe cream puff and romantique? Sent from my SPH-P100 using SalonGeek

I was doing a friend of mines nails with l&p, she would come back with yellowing if her top coat. We finally realised was her prescription face wash that was the problem. Just another thought. Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I do this too. I used to do 1, 2, & 3 all together until I started using colored acrylic for the tips. The color would bleed into my liquid and start affecting my pink. By doing the tips first I can change out my liquid before starting the pink. I got into such a habit that I like to do it...

A client had her drink sitting near mine and I accidentally drank hers! OOPS Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I have had this too. I still take their check and tell them I won't do anything with it until Friday. I deposit every Friday, they know it will be going to the bank, I have never had a clients check bounce. Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I worked with a stylist that charged double if she worked on her day off. I am very rigid about my hours and will only work 15 min beyond those times. Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

In my salon there are 3 nail tech's and 6 stylists. Unless a stylist is requested the nail techs all get first go at a new nail client. If we are all booked up only then would a stylist be given the opportunity at a new nail client. To me it makes sense to be this way as we only offer nails...

I'm sorry, I don't know any thing about Bio sculpture but when a client has a sore or a bad hang nail I put Vaseline on it and it blocks out the acetone. If you do soak off you may consider using it. Could if be she is reacting to the color coat? Also, if you are considering shellac maybe use...

LOL! I love reading your posts! I know I don't comment much, but I read often and you always entertain me :-D Back to the original topic. Happy birthday! I'm so glad to see a man supporting his wife! Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I use O P I Axxium over my l&p. They have a soak off version (blue bottle) and a file off version (black bottle). I prefer the file off because I'm going to file their nails anyways and there is no inhibition layer after curing. Remember! If you use the file off, and need to soak off, that you...

Honestly, I like the idea as a nail tech. It sounds very soothing. As a client I would really disappointed not to have my nails polished. Polish is kind of the "proof" one has had their nails done. I would be very clear that this service includes a very brief shaping and absolutely no polish...

I was using 91% until I found 99%. It still works fine. You are seeing color on the pad because the top coat is not completely covering the color coat Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I use alcohol to clean my bottle necks Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

It was recommend to me in a Shellac class to only use the larger bottles to refill the smaller ones. Sent from my PC36100 using SalonGeek

I talked to fingernailfixer about it recently and yes, less than 99% can work, but she said the sticky layer you are removing has small amounts of gel and by not using 99% you are not removing all of the gel which can lead to over exposure. Scary! If you have access to theindustrysource.com...
