Hi there
I'm looking for any advice you can offer please. I finished training in February and am struggling massively with my acrylic application speed - start to finish is taking about 2 and a half hours although to be fair this includes a gel polish too.
I currently rent a chair and have set my own prices, doing lots of gel polish and manicure but have priced myself out of the market on acrylic as am too scared of how long it will take.
I have a practice hand (cheap one from Sally) but it isn't really much use for acrylic as it doesn't let you get close to cuticles/side walls etc. Considered buying the Nail Trainer but am put off by the price and don't really know if this will help. I have a few friends who model for me but not enough to get any kind of speed built up.
Have any of you struggled with this and do you have any good ideas/silver bullets?
