Pinkalicious, Buffed Pink & Pink Snowflake

You can also vary the pink for the "nail-body" with any of the lighter Prizma "pinks", like P-112 Buffed Pink, P-124 Pink Snowflake & P-136 Pinkalicious.

Skin - Tammy Taylor Nails "Nail Liquid":
Nail Liquid (monomer) on the "skin" - Whoops... or is it okay?
The acrylic nail liquid is easily washed from the human skin, with soap and water.

What you "do not" want on the skin is "primer".

Pricing:

• Tammy never recommends that you discount your services.

• Discounting to compete with discount Salons can cause Clients to look at your work as discount work. 

• Discount work ethics is not the type of impression that you want.

•  

• It would be better to practice the quality of your acrylic nails, until you are very good.

• Build up your confidence enough to say to yourself “I am good”. 

• When you first set your pricing or raise your prices, you may lose a few Clients.

• The Clients you lose are probably always going to shop discount. 

• Loyal Clients will truly realize your work is good

• Loyal Clients will also realize they have to pay for better service and better quality.

Pricing examples of a typical Work Week at 1 hour per Client:

• 20 Clients at $20 a fill = $400 for the week for 20 Hours

• 15 Clients at $25 a fill = $375 for the week for 15 Hours - 5 hours less but only $25 less

• 15 Clients at $30 a fill = $450 for the week for 15 Hours - 5 hours less but $50 MORE

• 15 Clients at $35 a fill = $525 for the week for 15 Hours - 5 hours less but $125 MORE

Location:

• Always think about ...

• Direction of the Sun - Morning nice for start of day

• Direction of the Sun - Afternoon, very much of a concern for HEAT

• During the months of October through February, the Sun is lower in the sky.

• Normal direction of wind flow - Can you open your doors or windows?

• Access to entry door - Any obstructions can encumber Clients

• Parking - A must is most of your Clients come in their car
