H Michelle! Tammy will be great to talk you through it. If you want to SEE and have a demo done, I'm only in Bellevue :) May not be soon enough for this client, but it might help if you have questions or want to perfect the structure. I'll be at the Vancouver show in April if you plan on attending and will certainly end up showing stilettos in class or on the show floor.
Congrats. I think your the first one in Washington to have someone want stilettos! LOL Dayna, good idea about the waver, you never know with people these days and if their stiletto causes permanent damage from getting it caught or something you don't want to be the one to pay! And I think you also brought up a good idea about what to charge. I'd probably charge 1.5x a regular full set if someone actually wanted them (which would make it $135). If they want to keep the design then a regular fill is a piece of cake and would be $60 for me. If they want to change it all out, then its a new set. Stilettos and edge shapes are fun, I love wearing edge. I do tons of glitter but I work in a pretty computer heavy place (microsoft land) and people want their nails short so they can type (I tell them I type hours a night but they can't imagine typing with long nails). Most of them are dying to shorten them when they come in at 4-6 weeks for their fill.... some end up shortening themselves around 3 weeks. People around here want them short. Have fun making those stilettos!
