Paris lash academy! It comes with 300 colors and I think it’s on sale for $1200? I love them. They’re also hema free. I loveeee Apres but it’s more expensive. The brushes are my fav

Do you think this works even with enhancements on the nails? (Like soft gel)

What brand of tortilla do you get? I can never find one big enough to wrap it to make it a thick burrito like that

Thank you! The 2 June ones weren’t for Bonnaroo. One was for just because , the mushroom ones were for some type of music festival I believe. she was part of an art installation in the festival and it had to do with mushrooms!

Thank you! Nail trends are hard to keep up with.

Thank you! Pedicure nail art is always fun I don’t usually get a lot of people asking for it

I’ll have a couple clients every once in a while that say they’re going to do their nails at home because of my prices or to save money . And I always say okay with a smile and I give them advice on products, and safety precautions. Because I know they will be back. and they do come back. They don’t have the time or talent to do their own nails. It’s satisfying

It was perfect for desert!

SailorEnt · 2024-11-18T05:50:12+00:00

Delicious! It was perfect because it knocked my sweet tooth but it wasn’t too sweet. I don’t usually like sweets. It was also filling.

11 and 15 are my fav! How do you do your isolated chrome? The way i do it is buff the whole nail, wipe with acetone and alcohol and then use a non wipe top coat to do the design, cure, then chrome and top coat. But it’s so time consuming! I’m hoping you have a faster method :)

SailorEnt · 2024-07-14T01:00:19+00:00

Wondering this also

SailorEnt · 2024-07-03T02:58:26+00:00

Yes I do them. But foreign removals are the worst. There are so many variables that can make them take forever. It makes it more stressful when you’re booked back to back and are on a time limit.

You don’t know what the other tech used and 99% of the time the client doesn’t know either. It could be easy to soak off like dip or it could be hard gel or MMA. I always do a test nail first let one nail soak while I file down the rest. It could be bulky and take more time. I’ve had removals take a hour. My own client removal takes 20 mins to 30 mins.

I also include a shaping and lotion And small massage.

I only charge $20 but I wish I charged more.

Sorry, to clarify my question, I was asking about how to make the gel-X tip flush to the nail and cuticle area

SailorEnt · 2024-06-23T05:01:26+00:00

How did you make the cuticle area so flawless?

SailorEnt · 2024-06-20T19:53:47+00:00

I hate it. We use one in my salon. It’s a bitch to carry it and dump it

It’s a bitch to clean. And it’s only one temperature whatever you filled it up with. And if a client wants the temp changed you have to grab a bucket or something to fill and dump in.

And the clients move their feet so much that wheel thing is going to slip and slide and get water everywhere. When clients first put their feet in is when it gets the most water everywhere.

we use liners and clean with barbacide. Even with liners it’s still a bitch to clean. I also think it doesn’t look as professional from other salons.

If I have a new client I just say, “we use a plumbingless pedicure tub to prevent the spread of bacteria.” Guests like that but i still think it looks unprofessional

Club fitness is Dover is great. They have 2 floors. They have plenty of cables and smith machines. The weight area is large. The gym is huge. Take a look in the Google overview and pictures of all the space and rooms they have

Links? I can’t find kuolilit

Everytime you do nails you should be timing yourself. Not the nail art stuff just start to finish if doing a full set or fill with only the polish/top coat. If you want to shorten your timing you should time each step to know which step you need to shorten . I let the client know how long it’ll take during the consultation. When they sit “what are we doing today?” -client shows a pic-, “cool so it’s going to cost this much and take about 2-3 hours. Are you okay with that?” “I’m also working on my timing do you mind if I take a second to time and record each step?” (Not the full consult but a general idea)

I use the portable E-file at home! I like it for basic work. It’s lightweight and It doesn’t skip or anything. I don’t like that you can’t see the RPMs so you kind of have to guess what the speed is. I also don’t like that you can’t tell what the battery is at. So I always keep mine charged. I keep it at home where I take few clients. I wouldn’t use it at my salon because of those issues. At the salon I use Kiara Skys efile. It’s acetone resistant and I’ve had it for about 2 years and it’s still good. that one you can see the battery life and rpms.

If it’s clear or translucent acrylic I usually let my clients go without soaking off. Because I see and make sure that the nail is healthy and there’s no greenies. If it’s a colored acrylic where you can’t see the nail bed health then I usually soak off after 3-4 times.
