Cuticle work & hard skin removal?

[angelcmn]

Hi all.. Just interested to hear how long you take with your clients when doing a mani or pedi,. I seem to be taking ages. I use cuticle away.

I take forever! Lol. I use cuticle away too. Doing cuticle worn is actually my favourite bit. I had my first IBX client yesterday and her nails and cuticles were awful. I thought it'd only take me an hour including polish. Took me 2!!

Luckily I knew this client so she wasn't fussed, but I dread getting someone in I don't know and it taking that long.

Her cuticles were a good 1/2 cm up her nail bed. She was thrilled with the results of what id done, so in the end I wasn't bothered about timings.
This was what I had to work with

And after it all this was how the ended up. Her nails looked so much better and longer once all the cuticles had been removed! Lol

I have a nail station in a friends tanning salon. Luckily I'm not busy at the minute so time isn't something I'm short of! Lol, but I will get quicker. The nails I did yesterday were just particularly bad! Lol

I'm mobile and some home based at first I was rushing to get to appointments I can now squeeze a lot more in 4 sets of shellac since 9:30 this morning isn't bad at all it's practise what gets your timings down xx
