Do your clients like the PopIts you are doing?

[maguire]

I have done my first set on a client to-day had a couple of small problems but nothing that can't be put right with practice, I only got mine on Wed tried them on the nail trainer Thursday for a practice and did my first client to-day, she was over the moon with them, I had no ridge at the eponychium as I had pretaylored it as Gigi had shown us at the demo.

They sound very good.
Now, bear in mind I've never worked with them...
Do you feel as though you are charging for your time?
I always work on time and have a (kindof) hourly rate going on in my head.
Does it all add up?

I've not yet used them on paying clients as I am still finding them fiddly - however i know this is because i am not competent with them yet and still need more practise!!

However - I do use them on myself - I can do my own nails in next to no time - around 40 mins - and my right hand looks fantastic. I just use natural tips and creative pink over the top then paint them in what ever colour i want, quick and easy!!

Not yet tried them with french - if i want that then I still use the 'freehand' method xx

Update from my salon with 7 techs now using.....
No greenies
No lifting
No breakages

Lots of oohs and aahs though

A few air bubbles, but this is improving with the 'relax' method!
What is the 'relax' method please?


Geeg mentions the 'bump' - I describe this as the 'ridge' at the eponychium - she has a fantastic method for getting rid of this problem if you look at the POPITS YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED thread, although have to say I personally don't mind the little ridge, I can understand why some clients may not be happy with it.

Don't see that as a problem in N'ton, most places in the town are nss and clients are used to far worse then a slight ridge:lol:

Thanks for answering Fiona:hug:

I have been using PopIts on myself now for almost a year and I have to say, I cannot understand in my wildest dreams how they could fall apart after a few days!! What exactly do you mean by 'fall apart'?? What on earth are you doing with them?

I have never had a greenie

I have never even had ONE breakage

I have never had any lifting

I have never had any problems even at the early stages ... the only challenge was the thickness and the odd small bubbles which I sorted very soon and the bump which I sorted as soon as I figured out what to do.

Hi Geeg
They lifted in zone 3 and in pockets, and some popped off, basically needed soaked off within a week. Not the fault of the Poppits but my use of them.
This was not unexpected by me, and I was/am happy to continue on the learning curve and get better at them. I really was not sure how to use them, but having seen your demo in Glasgow last week I know what I was doing wrong.
My product was way too thin, I was applying too much pressure, I wasnt doing the relax thing, my sizing was wrong etc etc.
I still believe they are a great idea and have not given up on them, but for me, I needed to see them in action before I could properly trouble shoot what I was doing wrong - I needed a demo, so thank you for coming all the way to Glasgow to show us.
The jury is still out for me but I am really hoping they work out, because I think they are a fantastic idea.

Very true, we do seem to be a bit over loaded with NSS, I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard 'they look nicer than my old ones', 'I usually take a pain killer about half an hour before'!!!!
