I haven't been able to for a long time now. Crazy thing! I think if we display our prices for services right infront of our clients it will take care of some of this assuming they don't have to pay for add-ons. I am tired of buying new stuff and doing more work for nothing. I am going to make up a new price list and hand them out and make sure it is right infront of them so they can't miss it. If they pick a design for a nail there will be a price on it so they know before they ask for it.

Angie I have a handheld label maker that I do just for that type of thing. Looks so much better than handwritten. I also use those the tips on the circle thingy. Can't remember the name of it, my forgetter is working overtime. Lol You can pick them up for a buck at the beauty supply.

Just simple things and I have never charged for it nor has a client even ask what it would be extra. They just assume if they want a decal or a slash or rhinestone it is included I guess. I have been wanting to start getting more into nail art but since I have been not charging for all these years I figured why spend more money or time on a loosing thing. Then I thought about if I did learn some new things I could display them on tips and also attach a price on it so if they want it they see the price up front. > >Angie Wingerter > > > > > ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >To: [email protected]; Manicures That Last <[email protected]> >Sent: Wed, November 3, 2010 10:41:19 AM >Subject: Re: NailTech:: Nail art ? > >$1 a minute should be right on.
