So, after training and investing with Harmony in the UK - we all know that mounts up - I've moved to the other side of the world (Australia) to find that Gelish CAN be bought by all in the local 'Superdrug' kind of store, along with the mini LED lamp and all the prep. Not only that, but you can - as a local lady pointed out - buy it on eBay for the equivalent of £10 a bottle, the ad reading 'imported from the US'.
I know being able to buy it doesn't mean you can apply it like a tech and the teeny finger lamp probably doesn't match the 18g, but still....I'm facing a bit of resistance and flapping a bit as Gelsih doesn't seem to be seen as a premium or purely professional brand.
How do you US/Canadian techs fair, Gelsih being accessible to the public? Do you offer another brand/s of overlay? What other brands can I use my 18g lamp with?
I really like working with Harmony products and am thinking if I offer another brand, I can maybe get clients in and maybe convert them, but I'm also thinking about the costs...
Help, please! Sorry to harp on.
