    Do you charge customers for paying by card?

    As the subject says... I'm a small home run salon and have a sum up card machine now. I just wondered if people offer it but say there is for example, a £1 charge? How do you word it? I have mentioned it to some customers and they think it is understandable especially if they have the option...

    Nail Art 'categories'?

    Hi geeks... I am trying to get my gallery on my website in order and thought it'd be nice to seperate pics into categories i.e. French designs, Fun/Novelty, Floral... etc etc I am not sure on what to name them all though. Has anyone else done this? Just was after a little help please! :) TIA xx

    Nail Art with Vinylux advice please

    Hi - I currently offer lots of nail art with my Gelish and last June invested in some Vinylux colours for those who don't want gel. Now at the moment I don't offer nail art with Vinylux as I'm scared if I muck it up it's not easy to correct like gel where you can just wipe it off. Obviously if...

    French designs with a twist - ideas please!

    Hi I have a client coming on Monday who is quite keen to have a french but doesn't want a 'boring french' as she called it. She would like something different. I've seen a few ideas by searching on google but nothing quite seems to tick the boxes yet. Can anyone share any ideas they have seen or...

    Gelish starting to lift on a few clients

    Hi - this is really weird but a few clients have recently said that their gels are starting to lift more recently. Never really had this problem before (other than one off customers that are prone to it) I am not doing anything different regarding prep and really baffled... Does the weather...

    Gelish cracked!

    Hi gelish geeks, I did these nails on my aunt and after about a week the ring fingers cracked down the middle and came off? I didn't see this but she wouldn't lie! It was odd that it was just the ring fingers. The others were perfect when I removed after 2 weeks. Any ideas why this would...

    Advice for a client whose nails break constantly!

    I have a lady come to me who wants long nails but they just don't want to be long! She often comes with splits on a few nails which I repair with fibreglass wraps so that's fine but then the others break. I use gelish and have tried structure gel on her but this doesn't seem to help. She...

    Fibreglass or silk nail repairs

    I have started doing some nail repairs with fibreglass wraps just on myself and family to practice and having good results so want to offer it properly. Do you charge for this? It obviously costs to buy and takes more time so I would like to add on for it but not sure if others do and how much...

    Best way to do this?

    A new customer has sent me this picture asking for this at her appointment. I use gelish. How would be best? I have Dannys little helper and black shadow. Would you do gold first and then black on top and carve it out? I'm not sure how thick my gold is if placing it on top of black? I do have...

    First time using d-Solve

    I used dsolve for the first time last night and once I remove wraps from client the skin around the nail looked so awful and dehydrated. I know that it is mainly acetone and this is what happened when I started used pure acetone. In between I have used gelish soak off and so that is what I was...
