Is your nails not as long as your nailbeds yet? If not what condition is the nailbed in?

I am curious now...maybe these would be "better" for me because I have such damaged nails? Any one have any suggestions? Ac, regular gel or soakable? which way should I go? I do NOT want them long...just an "overlay" with perhaps a bit of length on a few real short ones...but not longer than the nailbed.....help...I have a wedding next weekend to go to....

She did not wear gloves the whole time for anything including scrubbing surfaces with “Comet” cleanser. The only problem she had was out growth! Every eployee in the salon has approached me about having a set applied! EVERY One of them. They are telling clients about it and It is still in testing!&n bsp; I don’t even have my pricing figured out yet! In this economy I am going to price them less than traditional Gel , because I can always go up in price later. I am going to do the “Comcast” thing. Hook then on the introduction and raise the prices later. Lol If everyone in the Salon is wearing it , I am creating a demand before it is available! That is GOOD Marketing. Price increase due to product cost. As for booking a soakoff repolish? Our booking is done in the computer. If someone is double booked there is a double column. You could have an extra column in a book as well. In the double column They will be booked for soakoff ½ hour before their regular apointment .. I am setting up a folding nail table as a “soak off station” with soak off machine that is Ultrasonic and heats the acetone. Goes much faster that way. Then on to the regular apointment. I think this is a Great Alternative to Extensions but it is certainly20an Enhancement to the nail. In my area which seems to be pretty aniti extension/enhancements at the moment I will be calling it Gel Polish and a Re Polish, or Gel Polish Manicure, something along that line. Marketing again. In my area it has not been cool to be seen spending money on your self for the last 6 months. How dumb is that. It is not PC. With the election over and spring coming we are hopeing to see a change. I have hearing about people not taking the usual vacation bu t planning Spa Days instead which sounds good to me! I still want to keep the terminology on the less extravagent side. This could be one of those Low Key services that will work since the nails still have a Very Natural look! My sugesstion? If you can afford it? Make an investment it will pay for itself.

I am concidering getting a line of soakables for my natural nail clients after reading these threads, they may actually go for it, and if I can make more $ in the same amount of time and they can get out the door quicker as not to have to dry first, then it may just be what I need to do. So how much are you all charging extra beyond your natural manicures, to do the full soakable process? I charge $18 for a regular manicure with polish. Thanks, Shannon A.

I used ibd in school and still hate it! I can't get ibd to stay on! Can't say enough about Nailite. I also love Azkentz but can't always afford them!

I have tried IBD, Christrio and some other swiss company. I hated the ibd.... the christrio separates and constantly has to be mixed, and the swiss company's shrinks. Light Elegance is by far the best I have tried. Rita No virus found in this incoming message.
