Varnish removal prior to appointment?

[BeckyS]

I'm just having new price lists made up, do you think it would be unreasonable to expect clients to remove their old polish before they come into me? I don't do acrylics or gels but even the vinylux I use can be a pain to remove if left on for too long. Or shall i just get quicker at removal?
Thanks in advance

Yes I do think that would be an unreasonable request. You're the pro with the professional products, it's what you're being paid to do from start to finish.

To speed up removal soak a plastic backed pad with remover then hold it against the nail for a few seconds then with a little pressure pull towards you, this should remove most in just one swipe.

Fab, thanks for your honesty. I use pure acetone thinking it's the strongest remover, is there anything better?

Agree with pure. Although I love it when clients have bare nails, I see it as part of my job!

I use CND Nourishing Remover which is as effective as pure acetone but far gentler on the nails and surrounding tissue.

I agree with the others, its part of the service. It would be like you going out for dinner but the chef expecting you to cook your own meal

Thanks guys. I bought the CND Nourishing remover and a sanding type block (can't think of their name) anyway, removal was easy using the block to take off the top coat, I think I was being too gentle, this way will be much quicker. Thanks again xx
