Your Gel Polish Process
It's time to experiment!
In order for you to fully qualify whether it is worth your switching your gel polish applications to the 'standard' polish application in your salon or spa you need to experiment to find actual results that may or may not satisfy you and your clients.
We know the 2 cons to gel polish vs. regular polish are application time and expense. Well you can easily time your application and cure times for both (something BTW you may be surprised by), but can you convince your clients to offset the expensive by paying a slight price increase on their services for the additional benefits?
In order to determine that we need actual results.
Choose a client, friend or family member. Then choose a polish similar (if not the same in colour) that you have both in regular polish and gel polish. Different colours can wear and cure differently so we want the experiment to match as closely as possible.
- Take a before picture
- Apply regular polish on one hand - time how long it takes you to apply and then until it is fully cured enough for your client to reach into his/her pocket
- Apply gel polish on the other hand - time how long it takes you to apply and cure
Have you client come back in after 1 week and take an 'after' picture and ask his/her experience and which they preferred. Would they pay a small additional fee for the gel polish in order to have their service results last longer?
Post your pictures and detail the results.
