Pati what we have seen here is they are using Shellac and Gelish and some
generic topcoat. Like the stuff they used on airbrush or something but you
need to file it off. Acetone seems not to touch it.

I was just in my old neighborhood in Florida...so I visited the local asian
supply house, which honestly has some great prices! They sell a gallon of 100%
acetone for 7.00 ... I can not get that around here! I have to pay at LEAST
double for that product..and 100% is just that. Well anyway.. I bought some
sanding bands also...while at the register I saw gelish and shellac behind the
counter..they had 5 new colors of shellac..at the exact same price I pay
here..(well actually a nickel more...was 15. Instead of 14.95)... Same
packaging everything... So I bought 4 of them. I asked what was popular down
there and she said Gelish was the most popular. I think there was 1 other
brand in the case...but I wasn't interested so I don't remember. My point is
that I did not see another brand that the locals would use....like there is
for acrylic, topcoat, etc.. I am always curious to see those brands...

I had a client call to schedule an appt for a no-chip mani. I did not have an
opening to fit her schedule so she went to a discount salon. This past week she
had an appt with me (I didn't know till she came in that she went there) so I
had to remove product before reapplying. Well... Had to double soak to remove!
She did not know what brand was used. I was glad she was my last of the day
since it took longer than time allotted.

I wouldn't change my prices either. You need to tell this person why she needs
to come to you and if she doesn't want to change, let her and her nails suffer

Today a woman called my salon and asked if I did Shellac. I said I did and she
then asked the price. I told her $35 which includes a full manicure. She said
she had it done recently for $15 ! I asked her if she had gone to a discount
salon and of course she had. I asked if the product soaked off, and of course
they file it off because they use some BS gel top coat that doesn't soak off.
Told her that defeats the whole point of a gel manicure. Needles to say she
wants to pay $15. I'm so sick of the sh*t salons undercutting by not just a
couple of bucks but significant $. I've been charging $35 for two years and am
not changing my prices. Just wanted to rant.
