My Dear Lynnette, I never thought I would hear you say you couldn't do something. ;) YOU are Lynnette and you can do all things...
Everybody- I have had a client wear minx on her feet for up to 10 weeks and she cut her toenails. I had a client go on vacation and steam room and they lasted 8.5 wks. Hands is another story but you just have to be honest. I tell clients up to a week and that it is a special occasion service when applied on the hands. Another thing is I have one guest who makes me put a gel topcoat on her and they last up to 3 weeks. She use to wear SOG. I don't recommend the gel topcoat but it works for her. Keep in mind that there is a customer base for minx where ever you live. This is a service that celebs wear and clients can have. Minx is not like the Christian Lubitan(?) shoes or the next great Prada bag. It's affordable and within reach. You offer minx, the minx client will come to you...promise. There is a client for SOG and a client for minx and one for rockstar. You have to be versatile in what you offer. Finally, you charge what your PROFESSIONAL market will bear. The NSS is not your competition only the professional salon. Even in Chicago, there are some salons far less expensive than I am. There are salons that do a full pedi and minx for $60 or minx for $35.00 for the application. Okay, nail family that's my two cents for the night. Time for some family time, you all know I love salon talk; especially the business side. Good night all, LaShaun Brown-Glenn Nails Naturally Hand And Foot Spa Www.nailsnaturally.com Speaking On Point Www.speakingonpoint.com P.S. Make sure to charge what you are worth. Minx is 10 bucks a sheet then add your time, what is it worth? That's your price. -- Sent from my Palm Pre Maureen Solan wrote: Thanks Lynette. --- On Wed, 2/24/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: NailTech:: minx To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 8:18 PM Maureen, I think the better thing for the nails is the SOG. Minx will never go over in my area. I could never command that amount of money. I am already booking bling toes this week, so that is more what WILL go in my area. There is a company that just sent me lots of samples and they have something similar to that but the cost is minimal. Let me do some more research on it. I will get back to you when I hear from them.

I thought the MINX lasted at least 4 weeks.

In my opinion it takes the same amount of time to do hands or feet, therefore I charge the same for either or. Truthfully, you use less Minx on feet than you do on hands but it stays better on feet. Also, when a guest calls to inquire about Minx, I am very honest about the wearability on hands vs feet. Honesty and integrity is the key, let them make an educated decision.

No one could have ever told me how it would take my business to the next level. Minx brought in many many new guest to my salon. They even stayed after pedi season was over. Also, my most conservative guest got excited about MINX! If you are not Minxing, get on board..It's an AWESOME service. Practice makes perfect, get the skill and charge what you are worth.
