I did a french manicure to a friend of the family and she was really happy with it and asked me if I would consider going to her office once a month or so to do the nails of the employees (mostly woman). Now I was all excited about the prospect of building up my clientele. I called today see what was happening on that end and my friend told me that I do an excellent job but I take too much time (1.45 hr) to justify taking time off for that lenght of time. I understand perfectly her point of view.....on the other end it brings me to examine closer if I'm being overly meticulous about the manicure itself before I apply color to the nail. So far all my clients have neglected nails, with ridges, eaten up cuticles, etc..... All of which take the longest time to fix before I can put on any color, are there tricks to speed up the prepping process other than the fact that I need to PRACTICE!!! I know I do an excellent job (no wonder after all that time spent) but it pains me to realize that I might have to sacrifice a bit my perfectionism while still meeting my standards of service. I just lost 3 potential customers on a speed issue... cry Has anyone "timed" themselves to see what is the average time taken in each step to prep the nail, perhaps I'm wasting time in particular areas that can be improved.
I am determined to find tricks that will bring down my average to 1 - 1 1/4
hour.
Is there anyone that can provide badly needed advise?
