Hi all,
For those who haven't seen my blog, I have my first client booked in on Friday!!
I am not officially open yet as the summerhouse is no where near ready but she was desperate and said she would just come to my house to have them done, as she's off on holiday the next day. She wants Shellac.
I have been doing my friends nails (Shellac) every few weeks. She came last night to have them re-done so we used the opportunity as a trial run for me to get my speed up and aim to be done within 45 mins.
The lady is coming at 2pm, the only time she could do and I have to leave my house at 3pm (3.05 absolute latest) to collect my son from school. I have set myself a real challenge!!
It took me an hour and 20 to do my friends Shellac last night
I just can't speed up and I'm getting frustrated. It's the cuticle work that's taking the time for me. Despite the fact I do my friends nails every few weeks, she had unbelievable cuticle growth on her nail plates last night and there was a lot of filing work also. She hasn't been using her solar oil and this was really evident in the amount of work I had to do to.
I just don't know how to speed up the PEP. If the cuticle growth is as my friends was on other people, then I need to be thorough or the Shellac won't adhere properly
The position at the dining table wasn't great for me either (almost sideways on, it's an oval dining table), I was really awkward and quite cack handed as I just didn't have the space I would if I was more straight on, couldn't get my elbows out to have proper balance if that makes sense? I also had to do it with her hand on top of the Lamp as there was no space to have the lamp by the side and I actually found that quite difficult too because I didn't want to lean on it, in case I pressed a button in the middle of the curing time. So I think I will have to think again on where to do my clients' nails on Friday.
Am I just being too methodical? I am a bit of a perfectionist
Any tips on how you all do your PEP or how to speed this part up would be so greatly appreciated, I HAVE to be quicker, not only for this coming Friday but for future clients, I can't over run like this!! :Scared:
