Re: NailTech:: The Shellac Just Peeled Off My Nails! Really?
I believe your customer probably did pick the shellac of however, I have tried it on myself and it does peel off of my nails. My natural nails also do not hold polish very well at all. My natural nails are very very thin and weak. From: pamsna...@aol.com pamsna...@aol.com To: NailTech@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 12:43 AM Subject: NailTech:: The Shellac Just Peeled Off My Nails! Really? Hi Teks, My rant for today: I had a new client come in last Friday to have the shellac put on. I did the usual manicure and prep, and applied the shellac like I have been doing it (successfully!) for the last 2 years. So.. the client calls me today, and asks me if I have time to fix a couple of nails. huh? FIX!? What do you mean by fix? Client: Well, I had 4 of them that just peeled off! The one peeled off the very next day! Visions of me fixing her peeling shellac nails in an eternity shrouded in HELL swirled thru my mind! OH NO YOU DON'T my mind shouted! I quickly explained that if she were ALREADY experiencing peeling (meaning, OH BOY DID I EVER HAVE FUN PEELINGTHIS SHELLAC STUFF OFF MY NAILS AND NOW THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE FUN WATCHING THAT NAIL TECH FIX THEM SO I CAN PEEL THEM OFF AGAIN!) I explained that she just might NOT be a good candidate for the Shellac and that since some had already peeled off, we would not be able to re-apply the Shellac to those nails because the surface that the Shellac was adhering to probably peeled off with the Shellac and now we would have to soak off the rest of them and, well, I don't know.. wink wink.. probably just do a regular plain ole manicure! Oh, boy was SHE ever shocked! lol! She stammered a few seconds, then I started offering her some appt. times to have the rest soaked off and a plain ole manicure done. hehehe! She scheduled for a Saturday appt. but then called back later, left a message on my machine that she forgot she had a tire appt on Saturday.. yea.. right... geesh... I am thinking she actually DID pick them off, and expected me to re-do them for free! NOT! My mom came in today to have HER Shellac re-done... lets see.. that would be 3 freakin weeks ago I put the stuff on and it was friggin PERFECT! With her gardening! and Cleaning! and scrubbing pots and pans! And cooking Easter Dinner!? Hmph!

Thanks for all input in advance, Michelle Clem Michelle, Generally speaking when using UV Gel Polish over acrylic or gels, you will be filing them off. Soaking UVGP off over acrylic will break down the acrylic so that's a really bad idea :) No, you don;t need to use base. Do your final shaping, apply the color layers and cure. In this case you can top with any gel top coat. If you are only using UVGP, it is recommended you use a soak off top coat, hard gel top coats might cause the softer gel underneath to shatter.

NailTech:: Need Help desperately...
Good Evening Ladies! I need everyone's help. I have a client that I have been doing gel on. We were so excited to find something that didn't make her have an allergic reaction. Yes, she had severe reactions to acrylic. Blistering and her nails were to the point they were falling off the nail bed. These were the conditions described to me when she first started coming to me. And of course she was the type of woman who didn't want to give up her nails. In the long run she had to. Now, she has been coming to me since October and all of a sudden we are having issues with the gel nails just falling off. If they are no falling off, they are flaking off and I have never seen gel flake. Almost all of my clients are wearing gel and none of them are having these issues. I will replace them when she comes for her fills but within 2 weeks the same thing is going on. I am using Brisa for now (only because it's readily available to me). I'm hoping that maybe someone else has experienced this or can tell me what they think might be happening. Thanks ladies!!

Re: NailTech:: Need Help desperately...
I'm nor sure exactly what meds she's on. I know she has arthritis and issues with her back. She also has very sensitive skin. I am currently using the Brisa gel from Creative only because I can buy it at our local supply shop. I have to admit though, I'm not a fan. The clear is very cloudy.

Re: NailTech:: Need Help desperately...
Her nails are very thin naturally. It's the gel that is flaking off of the nail. And I have never seen gel flake like this before. It gets crumbly almost. It's very hard to describe. I'm not seeing any visible signs of another allergic reaction other than the gel just not adhering to her nails and the gel composition changing. I'm tellin ya it's just the weirdest thing because none of my other clients are having any issues. I myself wear the gel and even though I am not fond of the Brisa it holds up very well on me.

NailTech:: local news report
So, I came home from my day job yesterday and sat down with my mom. She was watching the local news. There was a new report out saying that a new concern about UV rays was out and that consumers needed to be aware that tanning beds now are not the only way getting harmful UV rays. They were basically saying that the UV lights that we nail techs use for gel manicures and nail dryers were also very harmful. The doctor said that 2 min here 3 min there adds up over time and the concentration of UV rays was just as dangerous as going to the tanning bed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups NailTech group.

Hey Pam, If the bulbs are listed as 4 watt that lamp wouldn't work with any of the gels in the entire Star Nail Company. 6 watt bulbs are pushing it these days. They're mostly ok for clear. But anything with a pigment in it (white, color) definitely needs a 9watt bulb to cure. It doesn't matter if there are several bulbs. They still will emit only 4 watts just with better coverage. The watts don't add up with increased number of bulbs despite some of us companies calling a 36 watt lamp 36. It's actual 4 x 9watt. There maybe some companies out there that still only need a 4 watt bulb. But I'd be shocked. That low emit is more like drying topcoat. Low UV bulbs do appear to cure btw, but microscopically, the gel has uncured bits and this causes allergic reactions over time. Kind Regards, Elaine T.

I wonder if I can upgrade the lamp with better bulbs, although these seem to work fine. The kit also came with UV gel topcoat for artificial nails, and UV gel topcoat for natural nails. I tried the artificial nail topcoat on my nail, and it worked fine to cure the gel. Has anyone heard of this lamp or this company?

NailTech:: Re: pedicure spa chair question...
Pati, I use the chair Sally's sells. It costs like $1100 but I found one on Craigs List for $200 from a salon that remodeled. It is a stylists chairs set up on a platform and you use one of the foot baths with it. Ohio board recommends them for sanitation purposes. You can have the customer up on the throne to work on them dry or wet. It works for me because I was on a budget but it's not necessarily for everyone. To me I can still offer the comfort of the nicer pedi spa chairs without the expense.

Right now I have some glitters from Nailworkz - Lina is the name I think. I should clarify because I was walking and texting a few minutes ago:) I used to dip them like Star and Backscratchers teach but then an educator with Linen Batiste, which no longer exists, showed me a way that was faster. She dipped a brush from brush-on resin into the powder just like it was a regular acrylic brush and put her ball of product down and moved it around a bit like gel. It hardens up quickly so you have to move fast. I use Star brush on self activating resin and the Star So Fine spray on gel cure activator. It makes a pretty sturdy nail and its what I have on right now. I do a set in under 30 minutes and they soak off uber fast. You could maintain them, the client just has to oil up twice daily. I charge 30 dollars for a set and include the soak off. Most of the youngins who get them will usually (and unfortunately) pick them off so I don't see too many removals. I started doing them about 6 or 7 years ago when I was inundated with princesses who wanted nails for prom and would then being their mothers with them two days later to try to get their money back because they really didn't want nice gels. It got so that I dreaded June, lol I can video it over the weekend if you want to see it.

NailTech:: Re: Tammy Taylor sok off gels
the soak off gels are not really intended for extra length because they are too
flexible. they are intended for the gel main's and bling on the toes. akzentz
has both a traditional gel and soak off.

Ladies - Can you do pink and whites with the TT product? If so, how is the
white lasting, no chipping? I have been looking for a gel product myself, but
have been out of the loop for some time (Just getting back onto this list after
a couple of years). I had heard that the Akenz product is also nice, but I like
the idea of a soak off gel product.

Sorry I've been a little out of the loop, it's been a crazy couple of weeks. i
have the soak off gels. the Kit was $95 and can do 300 sets of nails. you can
use any 36watt lamp too!!! i did my toes for the summer with bling they lasted
for 2 months (then I got tired of them and removed them). i just did a full
set of overlays on one of the hair stylists at work and so far so good. she
has pseriosis on her thumbs which causes deep ridges and you can't tell with
the gel on. They are the easiest gels I've tried If you are just going to
buy the clear gel you need the bond-it and clean-it too. I love the gel files
TT has too!!!

I LOVE IT!
No seriously! I am actually so surprised at how much I love it. I'm not a big
fan of soak-off gels but I had to get Tammy's new gel just because it took so
long for her to introduce one.
So about a month ago I did my left hand. Just 2 coats of the peaches and cream
gel. LOVE the color! Very natural on my nails. But I'm left handed, so I did
not expect great results from it. For one thing, it being soak off and all, I
was thinking there was no way it would last more than a couple of days whatwith
the acetone for polish removing, etc. Also, I have (had) yet to find one of the
rubberized, soak-off gels that didn't peel away at the free edge.
So. 2 weeks later I still had the gel on my left hand. It still looked
stunning. It had NOT peeled at the FE and although it did eventually start to
lift just in the corners where I hold my acetone-drenched cotton pads-- it was
easy enough to just buff those little corners of those two nails down a tad.
Unfortunately, since I had only done one hand, the nails on my left hand are
now much longer than the nails on my right hand! So two weeks ago, I gently
buffed off the gel and redid BOTH hands with the natural pink gel. It's been
two weeks-- SAME results, with just a tad bit of melting away where I hold the
cotton pads, and the nails on my right hand are starting to catch up with the
ones on my left hand.
This stuff rocks! Even my pickiest critic is loving it! It's everything I was
hoping YN's Mani-q would be. (I ended up being disappointed with mani-q) AND I
love that TT's gel is available in semi-transparent colors. Very natural
looking and great shine. Very flexible. It's not a product for doing
extensions, it makes a great gel manicure product.
Now, if it would just come in a line of gel polish

Subj:NailTech:: Facebook members unite!!
Good morning All!!
In order to keep duplicate posts down, I have an idea...
Anyone who is interested in connecting with each other on Facebook, if you'd
like to
send
me your email address, I will put together a list of all of us, and send it
to each person who sent me their address. That way we won't clog the list.
Hope I explained it rightdid it make any sense?
Just send me an email privately (susanm...@hotmail.com), put facebook list in
the subject line, and at the end of each day, if there are any new people to
add, I'll email everyone and let them know.
How's that sound??

You are not getting 80% if you also have to pay $50 in rent. I would say one or the other. And if you did pay her 20% of you earnings, is there a cap, Like up to $300 or 500 a month? Once you reach the cap then you don't have to pay anymore for that month. You should have a time period for this kind of rent, like 6 months or a year. Then it should go to straight rent. If I were a salon owner and was faced with this situation, I think I would want 30% of your total intake up to and not over set rent amount and you supply all supplies, adv ect...for booth rent, and a set time limit on this so I would know when I could count on my full rent check.

What happens when you build a clientele, and all of a sudden she says, okay your rent goes up to 100 dollars, plus the 20%?

NailTech:: Re: damn, lost another one, but.......
While I have most of my clients pre-book, I still have those few, who due to the ease of walking into a NSS shop just walk in. I don't understand it because even they complain about having to wait even if you have an appointment. If any of them have come from an NSS shop they have a different mentality as far as what a professional salon offers and how they want to take care of their clients. I still try an get them to understand when they are in the chair how important it is to make an appointment. I think they know right now I am not booked up so they can pretty much just show up and they will be taken care of. I hate it but I am not willing to possibly lose that new customer. My problem is when someone comes in, and they are used to going to an NSS shop and see I am the only one there, they are not willing to come back when I am servicing someone else. I don't like that either but chances are they do eveyrthing that way on the fly. I'm not sure how everyone feels just my observations.

To: NailTech@googlegroups.com Date: Monday, July 27, 2009, 12:49 PM I, too, have noticed this change. I've been doing nails for 23 years and for all those years I've taken 1 week off in February and 1 week off in August. Those were my slow times. So predictable that I planned my wedding by it. For the last 3 years, getting my wedding anniversary week off for vacation has progressively been like pulling teeth. My slow week has become impossible to predict. I thought that it was because the date has changed for the first day of school around here, so families have changed their vacation schedules. But, my slow time seems to have no pattern anymore. I'll come in to work with 4 people on my book and before the day is out, I'll have done 8 or 9. Unfortunately, it's gone the other way too. I was looking at doing 5 or 6 people and ended up doing 3. I've not lost many clients because of the economy, for me it's because my second largest group of clients are the WWII generation and they are a) dying or b) moving to retirement apartments and no longer driving. My largest group of clients are the Baby Boomers, solid, 2 week standing clients. I have an incentive program to get new referrals that is working very well to get new young clients in the door, but they are the call when they want an appointment clients, not 2 week standings. I have always offered the latest and greatest in service, product and fashion so I did not notice the change right away. About a year ago when I tried to get a full week off in August and found it to be impossible is when it hit me. I checked my old appointment books and found a steady decline of the 2 week standings (seniors who passed away or moved to assisted living). Just looking at my bank deposits didn't show it, I was still making the same money, what changed was the 2 week standings and the last minute appointments ratio. I do not like this change. It is very hard to get a week off for vacation with the last minute people. When they call and I can't accommodate them because I am out of town on vacation (a sign was posted at my station for a month) they go somewhere else and I never hear from them again. I have lost 1 new client every year for the last 3 years when I've taken vacation. So, what's the solution? Never take vacation? RR! I am complaining about this because I'm taking only 2 days off for my anniversary this year. That's a 4 day weekend instead of a full 7 days and it's my 20th wedding anniversary :-( ...sad face is because I cannot take a fabulous vacation with my hubby for our 20th not because I've been married for 20 years, that's a big :-) The good news is that it has become very easy to take one day off here and there. My second job is a belly dancer and a lot of gigs are on a Saturday. In the past I would have to pass on Saturday gigs, now I have no problem getting some Saturdays off. Going to the cosmetology convention in Vegas has become easier, too. 1 Friday and Saturday offpiece of cake. It is just not possible to take that entire week off. The last minute call ins will wait a day or two, but not a full week. I'm talking about new people who just get the basics. Clients who get color gels or glitter gels will wait, they have no choice, I'm the only game in town ;-) I'm an optimist and I'm hoping that when the economy improves, the 2 week standings will come back into fashion and I can take a full week off for my 25th anniversary. What do you think? Are the 2 week standings a dying breed? Forever a thing of the past?

NailTech:: Re: Ideas
Awe, thanks for asking. The old owner told me she wished me all the best. The new place is going a little slow, which I expected. I have had limited funds to get started but used vista print to my benefit and ordered banners, cards, and what not to get my name out there. My mom has also been my biggest supporter by passing out my card to the women at work. I actually have a few appointments today and the support of the new customers coming in. All in all, I'm sure once everyone realizes there is a nail business in there again it will just take off. Joe has told me the other girl who was there had a booming business. So, I am patiently waiting and praying.

Gotta look professional and it's my own space so it's gotta look nice. I have most of the stuff I need to get it going. My only concern is getting people in the door. I took in flyers and he put them all up for me. He has my business cards and pricing ,too. I went to Sally's to buy my pedi cart and the clerk who helped me was all over the whole gettin her feet done. Passed out cards while I was in target because this girl liked my pink hair and colored acrylic nails. So, I feel like things are going in the right direction just still a little uneasy because I have no clientel. What else can I do for advertisement to get people in the door? Thanks for your ideas!!

NailTech:: Gotta Vent... news
Well there may be light at the end of this tunnel after all turns out there is a person who has put an ad on Craigs List for a nail salon for rent. He owns a tanning salon and has space int he back of his shop. There was a tech who had it for 10 yrs and got out of the biz so it's up for rent. I called about it. The guy was super nice. Said it's been board approved and he would work with me on the $385/mo rent because I have no clients. Best part is that it's only 15 minutes from home instead of 45. I am going to check it out today. Wish me luck. Michelle --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups NailTech group.

NailTech:: Re: Acetone ignites while client is soaking off nails
This is a horrible thing to happen. Just one more thing to taint our industry by people doing stupid things. At the beginning of the year I had to take a class to get my CE hours. In the class we talked about acetone and its flash point being so high. I used to heat acetone as well but learned it's much safer to have the clients just soak in a bowl with a towel covering so that their own body heat is what is conducting heat. The instructor said it's even dangerous to pull the lamp down to heat the towel over top of the bowl because it could ignite the acetone as well when the towel is pulled up. Now, I'm not sure if there is any merit to it but, we all just need to take extra precautions. I have heard awesome things about the sonic remover. Any thoughts?

NailTech:: Have to get some opinions, please!
Ok. So my day at work was little slow. To be expected right? No big deal to me. I knew it was going to be a little slow getting back into the biz. Here's what I didn't expect. I have been waiting for this salon to open for 2 months now. I was originally hired as an hourly employee. Which I thought was odd but great since I wa on unemployment. Now the owner can no longer afford hourly but wants to do commission. Ok so no big deal, I am used to commission but she only wants to pay 42%. Now I have had a license for 12 yrs. and never in the whole time have I ever made less than 50%. She also wants to bring in a nail tech who has a clientele. Now, I am supposed to get the overflow, where before I was going to be the only one so I could build a clientele. I have waited for 2 months, drive 45 minutes to work, and kinda feel like all of a sudden I am getting the shaft some how. Can you guys please give me your opinions and recommendations.

NailTech:: Re: Have to get some opinions, please!
The owner is supplying product (and crappy product at that) bu,t I don't have a key, they book the appointments, and I don't even know about retail commissions. She has never discussed any of this stuff. All I know is I interviewed in February and she hired me because I had 10 yrs experience. I have been waiting for 2 months, while she worked out all the kinks with everything, for her to open. She had me come in Saturday and set up my station so we could open yesterday. Today I walked into the salon and she had the other table set up for another tech. I had it set up as a drying station. I had figured the salon has always been busy before and it would be again. Maybe I have been to carefree about the whole thing. I mean it has definitely tested my patience and I could have been out looking for another salon. I wanted to give it a chance because I thought the owner was so great and then all this stuff happened today.

BUT, VERY IMPORTANT, their peds were somewhere around $70(can't remember other prices, but very high end) and the people got health insurance, vacation, 401, sick leave, taxes paid etc. So like someone else asked, what do you get besides 42%.

NailTech:: Many Questions
Ok so I haven't had too many replies to my first post.(thanks Pati for the warm welcome back, you have always been one of my favorite nailtech mentors and friends) I haven't been in the biz for over 3 yrs and I'm starting at my new salon on Monday. I have several questions: 1) I'm thinking of purchasing another e-file. My current U-power needs some maintenance and I was wondering where I could the best bang for my buck. I have seen several in the magsPN125 is one I am entertaining and one from RAM products. Any advice? 2) I used Creative mainly in my other shops and am kinda wondering what everyone else is using right now. I have been outta the loop for so long and saw many new products in the mags. I went to a Tammy Taylor class and Im just not sure I like the way the product works. I mean it's holding up great! But, the workability is so different from what I am used to. 3) How are stiletto nails formed? 4) What exactly are the MINX nails? Their website is not that informational in my opinion. 5) Are P/W's still going to be the mainstream of my business? 6) And when did they move the Premier Orlando show to June? Well, that's all I can think of for now. I feel so out of it and overwhelmed. Please help me out. Thanks ladies!!
