Gel Manicure Questions

[tracey louise]

i just wondered how much you geeks charge for gel manicures.eg french and colour and how much you charge for an infill/rebalance?
when you do gel manicures do you geeks build an apex or do you do it just like polish as im thinking that a gel manicure is different to a gel overlay,is this right?
do you just infill the same as you would when you've done enhancements or do you take the product right down and apply new even when doing coloured gels?
sorry for all the questions i couldnt find what i was looking for when i did a search for these.
thanks for any help.xx

Here is what I do..

£30 for the initial application on natural nails (french or colour)
£30 for maintenance every 3-4 weeks (no infilling of colour - only ever a colour change)

I use the one same gel as the base gel and also as the builder gel to build a c curve, file and smooth, 2 coats colour & gloss (or white then gloss for french)

Maintenance for colour is to buff off the colour layer only (leave the base/builder layer) apply more base/build where required, 2 coats colour and gloss

Maintenance for french is thin out old product (usually mainly at the free edge when you shorten them) apply the base/build where required, white & gloss

Obviously you have all the prep to do etc...

Soak off gels get painted on like nail polish - my personal opinion is that our soak off gel is gel polish base coat, 2 coats colour, topcoat.. etc
