I would have clients talk about the best pedicure they’ve ever gotten quite frequently. I believe it is an elusive experience to find the perfect pedicure, but here is what matters most to me when I get a pedicure.

Here’s my top …

1. Would I spend that much on a pedi even if I was the Queen of England?
2. How could I ever charge a client that much for a pedi? What would I need to offer to justify that price?
3. Does Emu Oil really work that great?
4. Who is this Margaret Dabbs lady?

I have come to this conclusion.

I don’t know if I …

Does speed matter?

I just read a blog on Nails Magazine about some nail techs that can do three services in the amount of time it takes me to do one. They were saying they can do a full set of gel polish in 20 minutes, with removal. I’ve taken classes from this company before and speed seems to be a focus for them….

I haven’t been in the business nearly as long as these people have, but a common complaint with my clients is that they felt like other nail techs rushed through …

Dashing Diva nail wraps are hot stuff!

Here is a pic of Allison’s Dashing Diva nail wraps on her tootsies 🙂 I love them! They last a good 3-4 weeks and are instantly dry so you can put your shoes on right away. They are similar to the very popular Minx nail wraps….which I am going to start carrying soon! I need advance notice with nail wraps in order to get the design you want btw 🙂
