I explain that those shops use the language barrier as an excuse to tell their lies. I then spend the time educating about the differences in products, etc. I genuinely believe those shops know exactly what they're doing and laugh at the stupid Americans, and I say that as well. I also mention that those places aren't my competition and I could ala carte my clients all the way up to a $30/$35 fill, but I prefer to tell the truth and include everything in the cost.
I then finish with, "I prefer to let the client make the decision, and I don't need to sell myself to you, but I want your decision to be an informed one. The Asian shops serve a purpose, they are the Walmart of nail salons, I am Bloomingdales... " and smile..... always smile.......
