Hi has anyone tried Nail Hugs and if so what were your experiences? Thanks

Hi everyone. Ive not yet purchased or tried Gel II but hopefully will get a few colours at the Excel beauty show on the 23rd. My question is, as this product should last much longer than CND Shellac (which is all I use) should I make it more expensive per service to compensate for the client...

Ive booked a new client who has emailed saying she's hoping for a coral shellac shade. I dont have Tropix in shellac only in Vinylux which is what I need. I only put my S2 order in at midnight last night so dont want to order just one item now!! Can I make a coral shade by either layering or...

Hi my fellow Geeks, Since doing nails i have never been asked for any manicure other than what i class a mini mani which doesnt include a soak and scrub. On Tuesday next week i have a new client. An elderly lady of 82 with dementia in a care home. Her daughter wants her to have regular manicures...

Im doubting myself at the mo. I feel alot of clients ive been using Shellac/Brisa Lite smoothing gel on are experiencing problems with their nails. They've become dry & brittle. Ive done the Shellac brings'em back training. I follow all procedures & aftercare. Ive lost a couple of clients. Ive...

Im considering looking at a salon where they need a self employed nail tech but want to do a percentage split of my earnings. Now I havent been to the salon to discuss details ect but I was wondering do any of you do this? Is it better than a daily rate paid for working in the salon? What...

I have a regular client who I really cant afford to loose. She has had Shellac & Brisa Lite smoothing gel every 2/3 weeks since September last year. Since around Xmas time her nails which have always been in poor condition deteriorated as she went skiing twice & a few lifted so she picked them...

After reading MANY posts recently with CND lamps breaking & thinking what a nightmare for a self employed nail tech this would be. ESPECIALLY as there are none in stock in the UK & havent been for weeks. What happened to me today???? Yep you guessed it my CND lamp purchased from S2 in June...

Im a bit confused as to how to price myself at the mo. I had put on my price list, leaflets & website minimum call out charge £20 but my removal for Shellac/brisa lite is £10.50 without reapplication. So if thats my price for this how can I say no its £20 for my call out. Im thinking my price...

Id love to get a idea of what people charge to repair nails, either chipped Shellac/Brisa Lite smoothing gel with additives or a silk/fibreglass wrap and redo Shellac afterwards. Im mobile & unsure what I should be charging. Thanks ladies :D Sent from my GT-I9195 using SalonGeek mobile app

I've watched the Fingernailfixers youtube vid showing you can place a self adhesive strip of fibreglass on the nail then cover with shellac/brisa lite base coat & continue your normal application, apart from 2 topcoats at the end. Does anyone do this when clients have a tear in there nail? Do...

Was about to buy some clear plastic stackable small pots from S2 to keep custom blended Brisa Lite smoothing gel & additives in rather than wasting it once mixed and left over. Suddenly thought, if the pots are clear surely the Brisa Lite gel which is UV curable with set in daylight?! So, what...

As the title says i was wondering if anyone had had time to do colour pops using the new additives which went on sale today. About to place an order for Shellac top & base coat and was tempted to buy them too but wondered if anyone could show me the colours first? :wink2: Thanks

Puzzled by the fact we are recommended to using nourishing remover for Shellac removal as its quicker plus is better for the nails as apposed to acetone but the remove tube for retailing to clients has acetone in? Why has it not got nourishing remover in? The smallest bottle of nourishing...

A client has requested I order a bottle of Shellac for her use only. She will pay the cost of the bottle but if so what would I then charge her for the pep & application? Has anyone done this for clients before? :confused: Perfectly Pampered Hands
