I always do a prep with gel polish. It will not last without it and I will not waste my time on a service that I do not want my name on because it doesn't last. I do only quality work. That's what I tell anyone who calls and asks for a cheaper price. I do not care what anyone else, especially NS

I have a nice clientelle that has been with me for years. I would like to get a few younger ones because I would like to still be working when half my clients will either be in the nursing home or no longer with us. Most younger people around here go to the discount salons but one young girl did

You are right Becky. I think the discount salons are finding that they have to charge a fair market price when they are offering Shellac or Gelish ect... It's not cheap like their mma 10ยข a set of nails. I'm sure that is why they are offering without manicure so they can still offer a cheaper pr

I called around to a couple of the discount salons tonight and asked how much for gel polish. Both places asked with a manicure or without. I said what is the difference? They said trim cuticles. One place charges $20 for only gel polish and $30 with a manicure. That is $2 more then my price. T

Same issue, different wording: How much for just a polish change? Hmmm...let me see...removal, prep and reapply. Yeah, that would be the same price. And then they get indignant! Debbie in VA On Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 8:21 PM, Karen Hodges wrote: > Recently with the groupon thing a couple clien

Recently with the groupon thing a couple clients mentioned whether they would get a manicure or not. I am puzzled by this... What do they think a manicure is? What, exactly is being left out/off that would cause them to ask this? KeyzKaren Sent from my iPhone On Nov 30, 2011, at 6:56 PM, Bec

Gel polish is "x" (whatever your price is), manicure is free. Take it or don't. I've seen people post this before, its a pretty easy response you don't get a discount for having no manicure. On Nov 30, 2011 6:03 PM, "Angie" wrote: > I had a girl ask me how much I charge for gel polish? I aske

I won't do it without the mani, either. I'm not putting my product on an unprepped nail. If it chips I won't stand behind it, so there is no point to me doing it that way. Nicole On 2011-11-30 7:03 PM, "Angie" wrote: > I had a girl ask me how much I charge for gel polish? I asked her " a gel > m

I had a girl ask me how much I charge for gel polish? I asked her " a gel manicure or with enhancements?" She said "no, just gel polish, no manicure" I told her I always do a manicure because it is how we prep the nails for the gel polish and it is $28. She said she has had it done twice before
