I'm just curious, what is your goal time for doing gel manicures? If you are doubling you Mani price to accommodate the gel service, what is the urgency. I personally like having 15 minutes or so to breath between clients.
Or, schedule your appointments every 45 minutes and squeeze in one or two more clients. After 23 yrs I just don't want to work that hard. Just an old lady talking (laughing at myself right now).
