at my spa, we allow 3 no shows before we request a credit card ##. or if the client is new, and the service is an hour or more, we get a credit ## also. if a client no shows, their card is charged for 1/2 the service fee and the money goes to one of our local charities we work with...oh yeah, we...

beautifulnails03...i think either would be an asset if there is a demand for the "sun-kissed" look in your area. the spa i work at doesn't have tanning, but there are plenty of tanning salons around, and only ONE of them has finally gotten the spray-tan thingie. it's a pretty new place so it...

we love using solar oil in our spa not only b/c of it's great performance, but also b/c it smells so fabulous! it's mostly jojoba oil which is known to have extreme healing qualities. i have a client with nail beds that were so damaged, we HAD to put wraps on her nails to keep them...

jenni g...thats so nice of you to go out of your way for your client like that. i have a client with SEVERE rheumatoid arthritis and lupus who comes to me for bi-weekly mani's and monthly pedi's. thankfully, she's still able to get out of her house to come in to our spa..on most days at least...

i've seen many of people on this site use this L&P term. can anyone tell me what this stands for? :oops: -angie

one of the questions my associates and i always ponder is, do all of the workers in these NSS actually ALL have licenses? and what about the use of MMA? i'm sure not all of these places defy regulations, but every now and then......so down the road, is it worth a new 2003 automobile to be put...

after reading all these posts, and not being sure about the monatary exchange rate, it seems that we here in the u.s. get tipped more. i don't mean this in any offense, :!: but it's customary for clients to tip us. i work in a day spa, our mani's are $20, pedis are $43-48, and sets are $55. so...

christine.. when i use fabrics, i first apply a layer of resin to the natural nails and spray. then if using a stress strip, i do that next, then another layer of resin. i don't spray b/c the fabric seems to soak it up and by time i'm done with all 10 nails, it pretty well set. next, i apply...

thanks geeg for your replies! :rainbow:

i'm in the same stick that your in toes! my bossy co-worker wants me to switch to gels instead of f/b and silks and i jsut don't don't know enough to feel comfortable. but at least you recieved SOME training!

ok. so i understand that air can pass through fabric wraps. is the same ture for gels? i have never learned them so i don't know all the details of how they rate versus a fabric wrap. :oops:

no, it's not the fabric i'm worried about. i work with someone who works strictly acrylic. i myself prefer a fabric because i feel there is NO damage. however, it's this new opi microbond gel that i'm worried about. she's trying to convince our boss to make me switch to it instead of fabric, and...

i'm just really not too fond of this new system. i work in a day spa/salon and it just seems like it's too complicated and damaging for our clients' intrest. plus, when finished, it feels very much like acrylic (too solid). is air able to pass through? i have a pushy co-worker, and basically...

i use the backscratchers glass glaze system for silk nails, but now my salon is talking about switching to this new opi microbond system. it seems a bit messy to me, can anyone give any opinions on pros and cons?
