Yeah, no kidding! I agree.

That's what I was thinking too Izzi! Do you have any problems with the color going on a little streaky on top of the Structure? I wiped the sticky layer and it helps, the color goes on very well. I haven't used it enough to form a solid opinion yet but so far I love it!!

Hi all, have you noticed that when you apply Gelish Structure under the color, when it comes to soaking off- everything comes off better and in bigger chunks then color by itself?

Still looking :)

I'm also super curious! PLEASE CND!! We need LED for Shellac :))))

I don't think taking percentage is a good idea. It always leads to problems. I don't think the person can be legally self employed if you are taking a percentage on ongoing bases. I don't know how the rules are in UK but here it depends what Revenue Canada sees is what goes. It doesn't matter...

I'm not a fan of "self employed" people in the salon. Many times it's not even legal. What bothers me that the self employed person/renter can do whatever they want and you will not have control over quality or style of work, products used, hours they are working etc. Basically they are becoming...

I wish you were in Canada! I have such hard time finding people. Most of nail techs works from home part time only or they have no experience. I would love to hire someone straight out of school but we have to be bigger (pull in enough money) in order to do that

We have amazing clients, we offer top notch experience, brand name products and practice strict sanitation.

You are welcome :) Yeah, I have a feeling that if this happened once, it might happen again. Again, I beg you, get IBX, it's inreplacable in these instances. It really, really makes the nails smoother and stronger even after 1 treatment. Also there is nothing to peel or pick with IBX. ps/ I...

Hard to say with the polish on... Good thing you made them shorter. Personally I would round the corners a little. I find the more square the nails are the more they tend to peel and bend on people with weaker/bendy nails. Like the pointer finger on the right hand. I bet she will have problems...

If you filed them off no matter how gently they can be weaker. I soak off L&P till it rolls off the nail. Too late for you to get IBX but please look into it, well, get it. ;) I have better results with IBX then Brisa Lite. This is a tricky situation. Normally I tell the client that I...

I use IBD Just Gel which I really like but their base and top is not that great. I use it with OPI base and top coat. The base coat soaks off cleaner in big chunks and the top coat i like because it doesn't have that "glow in the dark" effect.

Did you file off the L&P or did you soak it off? What was the condition of her nails after the removal? I always suggest a full IBX treatment after removal either gel or even gelpolish.

How about raising the prices by 2.5% and giving people a discount if they pay cash or debit? Just thinking out loud. We only accept cash and debit. Our average bill is about $45. Our prices vary between $28 (for brows) and about $100 for mani/pedi with gel polish. The only thing we do upsell...

Hello Laura! Can you us more about your the system? I'm sure others would be happy to learn more details :)

I wrote about it here: http://www.salongeek.com/biz-geek/279545-booking-online.html#post2345898

Is it a cloud based system? Do you need an invitation to book online? There is no pricing on your website, what is the cost? There should be a video-demo on your website so we can see how the system works :)

Before you do anything please read this book by Tina Alberino "This Ugly Beauty Business". Available in e-book format too. Google her and she has an awesome, awesome blog. You can learn a LOT!! Don't just come up with prices out of the blue! They have to be based on many important things...

We use Booker. I love it! It's a full POS and booking system. I have used Vagaro (nah) and Genbook (this one is just for booking and it's not a POS system) What I like about Booker: - credit card capture (we don't book without credit card. too many new client no shows) - good inventory...
