Yes, I do the fills just like a regular fill with any product.
Clients re-book 2 3 4 5 weeks...just depends on how fast their nails
grow, or if they picked a neautral color or a darker color.
I charge the same, with this gel or a gel polish only. I don't care.
On another note if the gel polish only clients, and if the gel polish
is chipping, I always used Protein Bond on all of gel clients. There
are other brands out there and I am sure the others can give you the
names. That helps also. good luck. diana from indiana
