No, my gel people can have Shellac if they want it, but the natural nail people can only have Shellac. When a natural nail client sits down I give them the Shellac color sample display and push the rest out of sight, when a gel client sits down I put all the colors out.

I was always told NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give away new services! I did one "free, try me" for each client. I now have 4 clients who ware regular polish, all the rest are waring color gel or Shellac. So..... Never say never ;-) So for your question, how am I marketing the different brands of products. For me, the only soak off that soaks off fast enough for me to call a natural nail service is Shellac. So I advertise "Shellac Manicure" for the natural nail clients with the Shellac colors on a separate color sample display and the hard gel clients have a different display and it is advertised as "color gel" rather it is soak off or not and I file it off every time. IMHO Eco is the only other soak off that soaks off fast enough for me to call a natural nail manicure, so if I ever decide to get it, I'll advertise it as an "Eco Manicure" with it's own display, so then I will have the "Shellac Manicure" and the "Eco Manicure" each with their own display, but charged the same price. I do not distinguish between the different brands for the hard gel clients that I am going to file off. Some of my clients prefer one brand over another so they will ask me what brand is this color, but I do not advertise them separately.

We have gel polish. one which is a cross of polish and gel. then we have gel that is colored but is a gel. we have soak off, we have file off. So far I have only one client that is soak off, will not allow me to file,have her on Shellac. The rest of my clients, which totally SURPRISED ME, that have the soft gel or ac on, are the ones that are falling in love with gel polish. I have been given the free gel polish application to these long standing clients, to #1 to teach myself on time issues, and #2 to SPOIL them. And will start charging them an extra 5 bucks starting next week. I know some of you are saying, why would you give them away free to your clients? Well so worth the cost, consider it advertising cost. I didn't have to explain to them the advantages and try to talk them into it. Just show them!!!!!!90% of them said they would go for it because of the convenience of the no drying issue!!!!!!!! I have so many colors and will get more. But some will be soak off in 10 minutes, some will be soak off in 20 minutes, and some will be filed off. For all of you that are carrying both, what are you saying, or advertising the diff.? Want to start advertising this,to NEW POTENTIAL customers, but don't know exactly what to call it. Because so many different service options. On top of their natural nails, on top of their existing ac or gel. Can't really say soak off, because all aren't all soak off. Any suggestions? diana from indiana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
