Hi geeks
Everyone around me seems to be doing shellac/gel polish mani/pedis for £15 each, not on offer, but their usual price. Has this now become the norm?
I've always charged £25 and was comparative to local salons, but recently there has been an influx of home salons charging £15 and their work is GOOD and comes highly recommended (as does mine, I'm just dearer) and can offer better variety of nail art, but not everyone wants art.
I can't make a decent profit @ £15 as I use the full CND system for a shellac manicure. Clients don't seem to care about products and whether I use a full system or not. Yes they're impressed everything is CND, plus I have a nice little set up and I do good sets of nails that last really well, but if someone else is offering a similar service, but cheaper, why would they come to me?! .
I've lost some clients to cheaper nail techs and they are not coming back!
