NailTech:: THANK YOU LISTERS for SQUARE for CC's!!!!!

Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the people on this list who recommended Square for accepting credit cards. Because of you guys, I started using Square on January 1st. (I actually had it a while before that, and was nervous about using it.LOL). I love how easy it is, my clients think it's

You can now pair your Square app with a printer if you really need receipts. You could probably get a thermal portable printer fairly cheap for this task. (This may be limited to the iPad app, I'm not sure.) On Jan 25, 2012 9:36 AM, "Susan Mang" wrote: > Just wanted to say THANK YOU to the peopl

RE: NailTech:: Overcuring gel questions

Well, yes and no. As a matter of functionality, no. In other words after the prescribed cure time the nail is essentially done. It is cured and should function as intended. But yes, it really does continue to cure. Not in any significant way though. Sort of like adding a drop of water to a

RE: NailTech:: Overcuring gel questions

Overcuring happens before the sticky residue is removed. After the nail is finished you start dealing with aging. Normally the lifetime of an enhancement is at most 12 weeks. If cured properly that is nowhere near enough time to cause the structure or function of the product to fail. The UV

RE: NailTech:: Overcuring gel questions

Thanks again Erick. Without derailing this train too much, I am interested in the concept of the lifetime of the enhancement being 12 weeks (at most). Let's say that I leave a thin base of gel on the nails during each rebalance, which will grow off the nail. If this product is at the clien

RE: NailTech:: Overcuring gel questions

Hi Laura,When I said 12 weeks at most in normal situations, I meant if the nail hasn't grown out all the way after three months the client would probably try and pick or file the rest off.  I suppose it could be different on the toes; perhaps up to nine months.  I was thinking about fingers when I

NailTech:: More Gel Geekery

Alright... while I have your attention. I am interested in more about light-curing technology than is reasonably applicable to the average nail tech.   For starters: I want to confirm my suspicions regarding the type of curing. My research leads me to think that our products are cured using a "f

RE: NailTech:: Overcuring gel questions

Thanks Erick for clarifying - and yes I was talking about rebalancing every 3-4 weeks. There is always going to be some old product on the nail as it grows out - at least the way I work - so that's what I was questioning. Laura From: nailtech@googlegroups.com [mailto:nailtech@googlegro
