have tried to plug it every which way, but its just not happening for me .. lots of regular manis, just not shellac
had a client cancel this morning, her reason - £25 was a little excessive for 'just polish' even if it did last 2 weeks, she then asked if i did bio as her colleague wore it and it lasted weeks and looked amazing
also fed up with my handful of shellac clients not listening to the aftercare and having to fix chipped nails, i know i shouldnt but really feel obliged to after they have paid £25 for a 'no chip polish'
does anyone else feel this way? every time i read how amazing shellac is i feel bit of a failure as its just not the miracle polish i thought it was going to be, basically - it does chip unless you have perfect nails to begin with and are a saint! i do know of another therapist locally who feels the same way, and have had clients complain about it chipping when had applied elsewhere so i know its not my application - short of giving them rubber gloves and being two paces behind them i dont know how else to get my clients to look after their nails .. i really think they're expecting too much from shellac
should i have one last ditch attempt to promote shellac (was so excited about new colours) and drum into client about aftercare - perhaps even supply the rubber gloves lol if can get cheap enough or just give it up as a lost cause - for me anyway, as i can see many of you are making a real go of it!!! any advise would be much appreciated
