£5 and 20 minutes!Geek advice needed!

[Mrs.Clooney]

Hi all, I received a phone call today from someone connected with a local school in Hertfordshire. They got my number from a brochure drop which I did a few months ago. The school is hosting an indulgence evening and have asked if I would like to rent a table for £15. The school organizes and books the clients and although there will be other nail techs, I was informed that they usually manage to book everyone fully. Each client pays £5 and a session with a client lasts 20 minutes. Now I've not done this before but feel sure many geeks have experienced this. I am doing a pamper afternoon in a couple of weeks time to some postnatal mums and am offering 30 minute nail tidy to include cuticles, shape and polish for £10 each. They will also receive a small gift. What is expected at an indulgence evening for 20 minutes and £5? What have your experiences and responses been? I realize that this is a way of advertizing fo me.

for 20 min and a fiver i'd say a quick file and cuticle tidy, then a polish. i wouldnt bother with base coats , topcoats etc. just keep it simple!

Hmm well I'd say this is a good place to network so you need to do good work. Offer a choice, either a file & polish, or an express manicure, file, cuticle work, quick massage and top coat. HAve fun!

for £5 and 20 mins I would do a polish, no basecoat, a topcoat and some nail art flicks etc, they always look lovely when they are done and its something the client can look at and admire for days afterwards! x

I had mine done at a school indulgence evening last week and they filed, rubbed some oil in cuticles and pushed back, then did base, polish and top coat in 20 mins.

... I would do a beautiful French polish WITH basecoat and topcoat which lasts about 5-7 days on natural nails.

The majority of my clients all return once they see for themselves how long the polish lasts.

Great advertising!

If you don't do a good job and use the best products you're wasting your time.

Good luck,
