Swarovski crystal pedicure

[ckjustpamper]

Hi all this is my first attempt at the Swarovski pedicure and was wondering what you all thought?

Also i have already have 4 enquiries of regular clients who want them and i just do not know what to charge??
My hourly rate is £30 an hour so as it takes between 1.5 - 2 hours to do i was thinking in the region of £45 - £60 and that would be shaping cuticles and application of crystals.

Any advice would be very much appreciated!

anyone ?

Oh wow....that's your first attempt?! They're fantastic! Well done you!

I don't do crystal pedicures as I'm not a fan of feet but my therapist who comes out to do my Shellac charges £60 for a full crystal pedi embedded in Shellac or £30 for just the 2 big toes crystal and others painted with Shellac.

Very nice!
I charge £55 for a full set - 4 weeks have gone by and looking good. (Few have dropped from free edge)
I charge £45 for big toes and Shellac or Minx

Aww thanks huns! i really appreciate some feedback and advice with the pricing, its so differcult to judge as not many salons in my area do it.

Yes first attempt and i am so chuffed with them! So many people stop and comment, i use GELeration to coat them and so far they have been completely fine for 2 weeks ... so fingers crossed

Of course i applied the 'start' of geleration on the toes so it had some stick, with an orangewood stick applied each Swarovski crystal individually onto the toes and moved necessary and then cured once happy, then after this i did a final layer of geleration over the top of the nails to give it a smooth finish and so that none would fall off. They feel completely smooth although they look bumpy. Clients cannot resists touching them to see as they think i am lieing haha. i am in love with them, although it did take a back breaking 1 and a half hours :hug:

Hello,

I charge my normal for Gelish (£30.00),and then £3.00 per 10 Swarovski crystals...

We charge £50 for the big toes to be coated in crystals and on the smaller toes, do Minx/Shellac/Gellish, and £70 for each toe to be coated in crystals. If you're using genuine Swarovski crystals, people will pay more for them! Plus, correctly applied, they will last weeks and weeks, I think the longest on we've seen so far is 2 months.

I personally use resin to adhere them on and then a very light coat of Ezflow Finish it topcoat. If you're putting something too thick over the stones, the sparkle will be reduced.

Hi , what size do you use? they look the best I have see! Well done

 

[Princess Layla]

These are great well done, 1st attempt amazing! X

 

[Belle Vie]

those are great, can't believe you managed to get them smooth!

I'm thinking of charging £30 for big toe and polish on rest, £45 for a full set (set in bio sculpture) scared to charge anymore because people round here have balked at £25 for bio overlays! I seriously need to widen my net by the looks of things

People where I live don't like to pay high prices for things either but I decided that a crystal pedicure is a quality service and I should be charging for the fact it is a fantastic look that lasts for 4/5 weeks easily.

I charge £20 for wraps, £25 for Minx.
£45 for wraps & silver Crystal big toe.
£50 for wraps & coloured Crystal big toe.
£50 for Minx & silver Crystal big toe.
£55 for Minx & coloured Crystal big toe.

People are surprised at the high price but realise they are getting the best quality crystals and so far those that see them & instantly want them (before knowing the price) are booking in even if they have to save a little before getting them done.

This my foot:

thanks Baggybear, that's certainly food for thought.

I was planning on ordering my pricelists today but will definitely give it some more thought before I put the order though now.

I stock more than 1 brand of nail wrap that is not 'Minx' so I just say 'wraps' in referal to all 'other brand nail wraps' that I stock.

These 'other wraps' are seperated from my 'Minx wraps' and clients are told which are 'Minx' and which are 'other wraps' when looking through the different designs.
