Keep in mind, many consumers will compare the speed of a GOOD tech to an NSS (Non Standard Salon aka "Chop-shop") who is taking all sorts of shortcuts that will produce ugly nails and/or damage the natural nails.
Don't try to follow suit.
Very good point. It's definitely worth taking that little bit longer to create an amazing result. Clients would prefer to be there half an hour longer and be delighted than save 30 minutes and be disappointed

Well I sound really bad then cos I spend about 3hrs round my clients house doing gel extensions. But nobody has ever complained. They tell me its lovely to have someone that chats a lot they say they feel like they have known me for years so they feel comfortable. :-D

Do you not do rebalances then?
Just curious, as removing their nails each time can lead to over exposure and is unnecessarily time consuming (I know you say time isn't an issue sometimes and I agree, but its like you are giving yourself more work)

Hi
I'm usually about 1.5 to 2 hours. I'm mobile so by the time I get set up etc it's usually the 2 hours
I have been doing nails for almost 7 years and when I was training at college I was told that 2.5hrs or less for a full set of nail extensions in gel or l&p, tips or sculpting. That is what I work to and I just can't reduce that time!
I no longer do l&p and try to avoid extensions. I use gel only now.
I find that doing French takes longer than single colour or clear and clear is quicker than colour.
As I work from home in my dedicated room, I find clients who come to me are looking for long term nail care rather than a quick fix and they appreciate my standard two hrs to do their nails (I remove and reapply only, plus fix any breakages & do nail art if requested).
I'm a perfectionist and can't let my clients leave without having given my all to their nails. I'm very proud of what I produce and so are my clients - so what if I take 2hrs!
The key thing here is don't compare yourself with anyone else and neither will your clients - as what you offer and do is better!
