Hi,

Someone once had a really good answer to this question but I cannot remember how it was put. I think it said to time each part of your procedure, have it written down and then evaluate where you actually lose time. So you can concentrate on the stage that takes you the longest and work backwards through your time. If that makes any sense?

The only other thing to say is it truly is practice that quickens your speed and confidence.

Make sure all products needed are set out ready to go. Talking also slows you down, which is hard not to talk but it's multitasking!

My main problem is my filing I spend to much time filing really I suppose if I got the nack of putting he acrylic in the right place and getting a good apex then I think that would cut my filing down xx

I just done my acrylic training in May and although I've been doing them pretty consistently since them in the salon - I still range from an hour and a half to 2 hours. Sometimes I feel disheartened when I take longer but I would rather do a good set of nails than rush and send the client away with a set of acrylics I'm not happy to be represented by!

Timing as with any treatment I've trained in, comes with experience and confidence. Hopefully!!
