I just eliminate the entire conversation by stating "A Shellac Manicure is $30 and a Shellac Spa Manicure is $40". This starts them questioning the difference between those, not the manicure thing. (Although pricewise, it is a classic mani plus shellac and a spa mani plus shellac, respectively... LOL). If they ask if I will do Shellac without a manicure, the answer is just no, it is a combination price. And then your explanation you gave... :)

Hi Techs, I had someone who called me this week and asked me how much the Shellac gel polish application is. I told them that the manicure is $15 and the shellac is an additional $10. I think I am very competitively priced, most salons are charging $35 for this combo! She said, "Well, what about if I just have you apply the shellac and not get the manicure". Ya know.. just when you THINK you've heard it ALL! I replied that the manicure is what makes the shellac last so long, and that you really need to have the manicure first in order to prep the nails for the shellac gel polish. Geesh! What do ya'll think of this! Its like paying someone to clean your carpets and not move the furniture! Or install carpet without putting down tack strips or stretching it! The results are going to be less than desired. Geesh! One more item.. while waiting at the Dairy Queen for a mini blizzard (so not worth it! go the next size up! geesh, its like the size of a baby cone for gosh sakes!) Anyway.. I noticed the poster that they have advertising the special of the month, which is the mini blizzard. It shows a ladies hand holding the mini blizzard. I swear she is wearing a thin coat of clear gel! lol! I know.. only a nail tech would notice this! But it looks like it had some growth near the cuticle, so its pretty obvious. Thats it for today!
